Origin: Surtur is an enormous fiery demon native to the dimension of Asgard. Possessed of evil intelligence and vast power, Surtur is one of the major elemental forces of evil that the gods of Asgard fear. Surtur is a mystical being whose existence predates that of the current incarnation of Odin, Lord of Asgard, himself. Over a thousand feet tall, wielding a huge fiery sword, Surtur was once imprisoned by Odin at the Earth's core. Surtur is the being who cleanses Asgard with fire after all the gods have fallen in battle at Ragnarok, the periodic destruction of Asgard. Along with Ymir the Frost Giant and the Midgard Serpent, Surtur is the most pwerful of Asgard's native enemies. In recent years, Surtur has been freed from imprisonment twixe. The first time the Asgardian god of mischief Loki set Surtur free to wreak havoc on Earth. The second time Surtur was set free by Marduk of the Sons of Satannish, a cult of human demon-worshippers. Surtur was banished to some unnamed netherworld at the end of that encounter.
