Thrud (Japanese: トード Tordo), dubbed the "Mage Knight" (Japanese: 魔法騎士 Mage Knight), was a member of the Twelve Crusaders, the original wielder of Mjölnir and the founder of Grannvale's House Friege.
Biography
As with the other Crusaders, Thrud was a warrior fighting in a revolution against the tyranny of the Loptrian Empire, and was one of the survivors barricaded in Dahna Fortress when the tide turned against their movement. It was at this fortress that the Miracle of Dahna occurred, changing the tide of the war: Thrud was chosen by an unidentified member of the twelve dragon "gods" who descended upon the fortress, to undergo a blood-bond with said dragon, transforming him into one of the Crusaders. He was granted Mjölnir, sealed to his new holy lineage, by this dragon.
With the other Crusaders, Thrud fought in the rest of the Holy War and contributed to the downfall of the Loptrian Empire. At the war's conclusion, Thrud and five other Crusaders founded the six states of Grannvale, the kingdom founded by their leader Saint Heim, with Thrud founding Friege.
