Prince Rivvak the Fearless is an Asgardian ruler who in ancient times inherited rule of a rebellious kingdom to Asgard from his father Rompak the Rebel. King Odin of Asgard led a farce battle against the in fact fearful but determined Rivvak—Odin's forces retreated before any fighting could occur, ostensibly due to the fiery geysers in between the two armies. For his apparent bravery in the battle, Rivvak earned his epithet of the Fearless. In truth, Odin deliberately forfeited the battle, knowing that resistance was an essential part of a ruler's reign. [1] Rivvak's fate since then is unknown.
