However, the holy blood chart refers to him as "Tordo" in English letters, and the name トード (Tordo) would become standardized by ''Thracia 776''. Another possibility, however, is that "Thor" refers to the dragon who blood-bonded with Thrud, and its use in the family tree is in error. | ||

Thrud (Japanese: トード Tordo), dubbed the "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 Lopt Empire, and was one of the survivors barricaded in Darna Fortress when the tide turned against their movement. It was at this fortress that the Miracle of Darna 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 Lopt 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.
