He is an ancient giant and does not belong to the same race as the frost giant who is the enemy of God. He is an old god and can be said to be the embodiment of ancient natural forces. He neither supports nor opposes gods or giants, and is basically neutral. When "Ragnarok" happens, even if the gods and giants are dead, he will still exist. Egil's image is white hair and very slender claws. Unlike the offshore sea god Vanier, he is not loved by the people, and people are only afraid of his terrible power. When the ship at sea capsizes, the treasure and goods on board will become his property, so his residence is full of all kinds of jewels and wealth, even to the point of lighting with gold, so gold is also called "the fire of egil". Legend has it that his mansion is located in the west of the atrium, on the island of Helesi, a place called Forestier. The gods sometimes gather in his residence. There is a story that Thor snatched a huge pot from the giant at the request of egil, so some poets called egil "the brewer of beer".
