02. biography

The history of Trevor Newly is an unwritten incognita even to him. His earliest memory dates of 2002, when he woke up in a Sierra Leone hospital, critically injured from what was assumed to be combat wounds. According to hospital staff, he was in a coma for three months, recovering from his injuries before he came around.

Though it was assumed that he was a soldier with one of the foreign companies fighting the war, there was no registry or claim on him from any. Whoever the soldier who woke up in the burnt unit of a remote African hospital was, his identity was erased along with Trevor's memories of his prior life.

As the months went by, the soldier would become known as Trevor Newly. His injuries were extensive and riddled his body with scar tissue. With English as his native language, a British accent was his only clue to his past. Recovery took years and relentless effort on his part and the group of professionals who saw him through it.

One of those caregivers was a British nurse by the name of Marian. As the tale goes, Trevor slowly, but steadily, fell in love with her. Rehabilitation ran the course of the next three years. Once he was released permanently, Trevor asked Marian to marry him. She accepted his proposal and they moved back to England to start a new life together.

There, he acquired British citizenship and started to work as a firefighter. Well established and mostly healed from the war, by 2008 Marian had fallen pregnant with their first child. The next eight months were spent getting the nursery set up, reading parental advice books and preparing for new life to be breathed into their marriage.

When tragedy struck, it took Trevor by surprise. Marian had just left one of her last shifts before she took license for the baby's arrival, when a drunk driver rammed into the side of her vehicle. Being on shift, Trevor's squad was called to the site. Despite his training and experience, there was little to be done. Both Marian and the baby died before reaching the hospital.

Desolated, Trevor overhauled his life to the United States, choosing the city of New York for his new start. The legalities of it took years to get settled, but by 2015 he was working full time for New York's Fire Department as a fire lieutenant.

In 2013, he opened a bar called "The Warriors Tavern", which is most often frequented by New York's fire and police forces. He co-owns the place with two of his best friends, who also work with him at the firehouse.

03. comic verse & tie-ins

Fandral, the Dashing

Fandral the Dashing was a charter member of the Warriors Three, a trio of Asgardian adventurers consisting of himself, Hogun the Grim, and Volstagg the Voluminous. Fandral was a strong and brave and a good friend to Thor. He fought in countless battles with his friends, to preserve and protect his people. He has been described as one of the most good-looking Asgardians which along with his charm, gave him the reputation as a ladies' man. Besides his looks, Fandral is also known for his skills in swordsmanship and bravery. He and Thor first met when the Warriors Three joined the Thunder God on an expedition to restore the Odinsword that had become cracked.

Tie-ins

  • Same name as Fandral's mortal identity, before he was restored by Thor. Same background as the original Trevor Newly, as a British soldier.
  • Spent time lost in Africa, with no memory of who he was.
  • Combat training and well skilled with melee weapons.
  • Married a British woman named Marian, who died.
  • Considered a ladies man, due to his flirtatious nature.
  • Bravery and loyalty are signature characteristics.

Powers and abilities

Powers

  • Asgardian Physiology: Fandral possesses all of the various superhuman attributes common among the Asgardians.
  • Superhuman Strength: Like all Asgardians, Fandral is superhumanly strong and possesses physical strength of an average Asgardian male. At his peak, Fandral is able to lift about 30 tons.
  • Superhuman Speed: Fandral is capable of running and moving at speeds much greater than that of even the finest human athlete.
  • Superhuman Stamina: Fandral's musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a human being. He can exert herself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue begins to impair him.
  • Superhuman Durability: Fandral's body is much more resistant to physical harm than the body of a human being. He is capable of withstanding great impact forces, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, powerful energy blasts, and high calibre bullets without sustaining injury.
  • Superhumanly Dense Tissue: Fandral's bodily tissues have about 3 times the density as the bodily tissue of a human. As a result, Fandral is actually much heavier than he appears. This increased tissue density also contributes somewhat to his physical strength.
  • Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his body's resistance, Fandral can be injured like any other Asgardian. However, his metabolism enables him to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissue with greater speed and efficiency than a human being is capable of. Injuries such as slashes and punctures can fully heal within hours, whereas broken bones can heal within a few days. However, he isn't able to regenerate severed limbs or missing organs.
  • Extended Longevity: Like all Asgardians, Fandral ages at a rate that is much slower than that of a human being. However, Asgardians aren't completely immune to ageing, as some other god pantheons are.

Abilities

Fandral is an master swordsman, with centuries of experience in hand-to-hand combat. Thor refers to Fandral as "the best of us with the blade." Fandral is also exceptionally handsome and charming, giving him a great deal of success in dealing with women.

Allspeak: Thanks to the Allspeak Asgardians can communicate in all of the languages of the Nine Realms, Earth's dialects, and various alien languages.

Strength level

Superhuman Class 50. Fandral possesses the strength of an average Asgardian male, and is therefore able to lift around 30 tons. Superhuman Speed: Fandral can run and move at speeds superior to that of the finest human athlete.

Paraphernalia

Transportation

Asgardian vehicles, travels between dimensions using magical means.

Weapons

Long sword of Asgardian manufacture.

Trivia

  • Fandral is not a genuine character from Scandinavian Myth.
  • Fandral once claimed to have lived on Earth and married a woman named Marian. This seems to indicate that he was Robin Hood, though other sources claim that Robin Hood was a man imbued with a Pendragon spirit. As such, Fandral may have encountered the time-traveling Avengers.
  • In the 'Three Musketeers' parallel of the Warriors Three, Fandral is unquestionably the 'Aramis' figure.
