Laufey
Who she is: Lazy story writers throughout time might have us believing that every great game needs at least one kindly dead wife who runs around in the snow and wears a flattering and yet still matronly outfit. We never catch a live glimpse of Laufey, Kratos’ second wife and Loki’s mother, but her flashback scenes in Ragnarök indicate a thoughtful, formidable, and cunning woman, orchestrating a plan for Kratos and Atreus’ lives without them ever seeing it.
Ranking: I can’t rank a dead wife. She’s dead. But if I did, I imagine she would be at the top of the list.
