Thor (Old Norse: Þórr), also known as Thor Odinson, is the red-haired son of Odin and Jord, and is the god of lightning, thunder, storms, sacred groves and trees in Norse mythology and Germanic paganism. Thor is one of the most powerful gods and uses his superior power to protect Asgard and Midgard. Due to his lust for battle and incredible prowess, Thor is also portrayed as a war god and also an agricultural god due to his status as a weather deity that aids in the growth of crops. His belt Mejingjard doubles his strength and lightning flashes every time he throws his trusty hammer, Mjölnir.
Most surviving stories relating to Germanic mythology either mention Thor or center on Thor's exploits. Thor was a much revered god of the ancient Germanic people from at least the earliest surviving written accounts of the indigenous Germanic tribes to over a thousand years later in the late Viking Age. Thor was very talented at slaying the Jotuns; many of his stories revolve around violent episodes between him and his enemies. One of his exploits, includes his relentless slaughter of his foes and fierce battles with the monstrous serpent, Jormungandr, and his foretold death by succumbing to its venom, during the events of Ragnarök are recorded throughout sources in Norse mythology.
Thor was appealed to for protection on numerous objects found from various Germanic tribes. Miniature replicas of Mjölnir, the weapon of Thor, became a defiant symbol of Norse paganism during the Christianization of Scandinavia. Casting molds have been found for the production of both Thor's hammers and Christian crucifixes, and at least one example of a combined crucifix and hammer has been discovered.

Kaneko's design for Thor that originated from these games draws inspiration from the 1982 film Conan the Barbarian's design for the character Conan, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.[1] The swastika symbols on his magic belt, Mejingjard, are apparently inspired by the 1872 painting Thor's Fight with the Giants in which the swastika represents the hammer or lightning of Thor.

Thorman is the American ambassador to Japan. He requests the aid of the protagonist in defeating Gotou to prevent the demons from overrunning the Earth.
Later in the story, he reveals himself to be the demon Thor, an agent of YHVH dedicated to the ideal of the Thousand Year Kingdom. He was sent to Earth after discovering that Gotou discovered a way of summoning demons from the Expanse to the human's realm and was tasked with stopping him.
In the Law route, Thor congratulates the protagonist for aiding him in the purification of Tokyo. In the Neutral and Chaos route, he fights the party. Regardless of the options, it is too late to save Tokyo from the "Hammer of Thor," a cluster of nuclear ICBMs used to purge the demons. With this, Japan is completely obliterated.
Thor is found in Ikebukuro as a member of the Mantra Army. He is first seen when he knocks Isamu Nitta unconscious with his hammer. He locks both Isamu and the Demi-fiend up, and they must prove their strength to become free. Thor is defeated by the Demi-fiend and allowed free. After the Nightmare System destroys the Mantra Army, Thor admits that their fear-based society had no hope of creating a new world. He allows Isamu to go free, and then says that he will see the Demi-fiend again if he is truly strong. He does indeed cross paths with the Demi-fiend again on the 418th floor of the Tower of Kagutsuchi. Regardless of the Demi-fiend's Reason, Thor tests the Demi-fiend's abilities again. Thor is overwhelmed and dies at that spot.

Persona 5[]
"The Norse thunder god and son of Odin, Thor owns the power enhancing belt, Megingjard, and wields Mjolnir, a hammer that causes lightning to strike and returns to its owner after sic thrown."
—Persona 5 background
Thor is the ninth Persona of the Chariot Arcana and can be found as a Shadow in the Battle Arena of Niijima's Palace and the Depths of Mementos, with the title "Thunder Emperor." He is the first Persona to learn the Elec Amp skill and one of four Personas to learn the Heat Up skill. When itemized using an Electric Chair execution in the Velvet Room, Thor will produce the Mjolnir bludgeon for Ryuji Sakamoto, which has 254 ATK, 88 ACC and adds the Elec Boost effect to Ryuji. Thor is an ingredient for the advanced fusion recipe to summon Chi You.
When fought in the Battle Arena, the "Thunder Emperor" lacks his usual weakness to Psy skills in this battle and will alternate between using Charge and Concentrate before attacking with Physical or Electricity skills respectively. However, there will be an extra turn spent between the charging skill and Thor's attacks, allowing the protagonist to prepare for the attacks. Personas like Girimehkala and Rangda can repel his Physical attacks back at him for additional damage (however, Rangda is naturally weak to Electricity as well,) but trying to repel Thor's Electricity attacks will result in the damage being nullified.
