Ymir is an ancient Frost Giant of Niffleheim, the first of his kind, who predates the Asgardians. He came into existence when the waters of the Well of Life were frozen by the piercing north wind.[1] When Odin rose to power as king of Asgard, he declared war on the Frost Giants and almost singlehandedly crippled their civilization. With his powerful sword, Odin cut the land beneath the Frost Giants and sent them into the fiery depths below. Ymir in particular was trapped in an eternal circle of fire, apparently never to escape.[2]
