King Rugga was the king of the Storm Giants in ancient times, obsessed with becoming a god. He kidnapped and delivered the Asgardian Sif to Hela, the goddess of death, in exchange for immortality. Thor stormed his castle to find Sif, and soon retrieved Sif from Hela's grasp by bravely offering his own life instead.[1] Rugga's fate after this event is unclear, but Brimer eventually replaced him as king.[2]
