Skírnir is a servant of Freyr in Norse mythology. He is sent to Jötunheimr to gain Gerðr's affection towards Freyr, as Freyr has fallen in love with her. When Gerðr refuses, Skírnir threatens her with his gambanteinn, or magic wand. Skírnir was also sent to dwarves to commision the making of Gleipnir, the cahin used to bind Fenrir.
