Surtur is the King of Fire Giants, he goes by three versions of his name, Surt, Surtr, and Surtur. He was the first of the Fire Giants and is the most powerful of them, he has the ability to change his size at will so that he can better 'fit' into areas. When he is calm is hair and beard are like any other humans, however when he increases his size or begins to use his abilities over fire his hair and beard are lit in flame, and fire burst from his eyes and mouth. His skin turns dark like its burnt. Surtur is very ancient, being very vague of when he was born. Though it is believed is over thousands of years old. He is immune to all forms of fire and is a fierce warrior and great leader, when in anothers domain he will show them respect but will not hesitate to fight if insulted. He is also a master blacksmith, creating great weapons for his people. When Surt increases his size he normally changes to about 15 feet tall, has a chest that measures 12 feet around, and weighs about 10,000 pounds. Though he has been known to increase to even greater heights when he is extremely angered. When he is at an about human height, he is 7ft tall. The highest height he has ever attained was 36 ft tall, and the fire that raged around him nearly scorched an entire country which is currently a desert located north of Africa.
Surt's personality is very much compared to fire, while he can have control over himself and be calm like a candle flame. He can be quickly angered and rage like an inferno, he is a great leader and brilliant battle tactician. He is wise and intelligent for his age yet still has the fierce aggression of a great warrior. He is kind to those he calls friends and will fight for them if they are threatened. He holds honor very highly and will not back down from anything. Surtur believes that fire is pure, cleansing, and strong. The weak and impure burn, while the strong survive. Fire is useful as a tool, but must be respected. It is dangerous when uncontrolled. He teaches this dogma to his people, instructing it as a way to live.
Surtur commonly wears cloth pants showing his bare chest, when he goes to battle he uses his magic over fire to manifest blazingly hot iron and a great iron sword covered in flames. The armor and sword he crafted himself, designed to grow with him and be nearly indestructible.
Surtur has been around for thousands of years, he existed when the world was in its ice age and humans were still hardly evolving from apes. Back then the world was covered with many races of giants and other creatures. He and his species ruled and fought for hundreds of years , not only great warriors but master architects and blacksmiths, in till the world started to change. As other species died out and humans spread through the world, his kind went into hiding in great volcanoes. For years they dwelled in a deep hibernation, awakening only to feast and check on the current status the world was in. When they awakened for the last time humans were leading genocide on supernatural creatures and attacked his peoples home. Knowing they would not survive from all the numbers the humans had, they fled, hearing of a reservation for different species. The Fire Giants, led by their King is journeying their now. Hoping to find a new home for his people, though his race has been reduced to hardly even a hundred giants. He still has hope that he and his people can survive.
