Valkyrie Skuld

About Valkyrie Skuld

Skuld was originally human. She was born as the daughter of a king who ruled nomadic tribes through force. After her father was betrayed, Skuld and her family were imprisoned and sentenced to death. Odin appeared before her and gave her a way to leave that fate behind by becoming a valkyrie. She later confirms that she used to be human and that Odin changed her into a lower Aesir.
