— Gǫllnir, while writing his book in The Will He Bequeathed.

Gǫllnir was one of the 88 Primordial Gods, the husband of the Primordial Goddess of Light, Eirin. For being a master scientist with great expertise in engineering, he was known as the "Great Inventor God" (大槍術神, Dai Sōjutsu-shin). He is the writer of the Book of Gǫllnir and was the leading figure in the cult of the People of Gǫllnir. He is the biological ancestor of the "Greatest Demon Slayer of the Heian Period", Sakata Kintoki.
Appearance[]
Gǫllnir was a short, rotund yet broad-framed, large-headed, wide-mouthed, muscular Primordial God with short limbs. He had a broad back with large forearms, and particularly well-developed lower body, with well-toned calf muscles and very thick thighs. He was fair-skinned with light eyes and had a wild mess of light, mane-like hair that reached all the way down to his hips. His long hair connected with his unruly beard that was tied into braids at the lower diagonals, by beads bearing the depiction of petals. Gǫllnir had a thick moustache separated from his beard. The left part of the moustache was shaped into three disproportional strands, while the right part had two strands. His moustache extended to thick hairs extending from just below his nose.
Due to being an inventor, spending his time building gadgets and technological innovations, Gǫllnir usually wore dirtied clothes. His main attire black-patterned smith robe with various pockets over a scrubby, hoodless hazma-like suit. He paired his robe with several belt bags around his waist. Gǫllnir wore two pairs of googles, an unused pair resting on his head and pair he actively wore on his eyes with detachable lens. He had a belt with a Norse knotwork as the buckle. To protect his hands, he wore a mechanic's gloves that were dusty from frequent usage. His hazma-like suit's lower body portion was wrapped below his knees, thus baring his legs. Gǫllnir finished his outfit with a simple pair of sandals.
Personality[]
From what was shown about him, Gǫllnir was very similar to his future descendant, Kintoki: the two of them share the same optimism, kindness and cheerfulness. He was an incredibly accomplished inventor who enjoyed sharing his ideas and plans to others for his future inventions. He was also a loving husband to his wife, Eirin. Gǫllnir was noted by her that he becomes highly energetic whenever he invented innovations, almost childlike. Gǫllnir is content with his quirks though. He had accepted his purpose in the world as developing technologies no one has ever seen before.
Plot[]
Past[]
Gǫllnir is one of the 88 primordial gods born from the original chaos. He was known as the “Great Inventor God” (大槍術神, Dai Sōjutsu-shin). Thanks to his great intelligence, he created the Járngreipr, a pair of gauntlets capable of withstanding any attack. He eventually married Eirin, the great primordial goddess of light.
Later, he gathered around him a group of gods who became his followers, forming the People of Gǫllnir. In time, he disappeared but not before writing the Book of Gǫllnir, in which he told the story of the primordial gods and the world.

- Overall Abilities: As a Primordial God, Gǫllnir was one of the most powerful beings in existence.
