Fictional Character Biography

The Enchanters are apparently brothers and hail from the realm of Ringsfjord, which exists on the extradimensional continent of Asgard. The original three Enchanters were called Forsung; Brona and Magnir. All three were master sorcerers whose abilities were amplified by their Living Talismans (see below), with the eldest, Forsung, possessing enough power to match Odin. First encountered by the Asgardian warriors Balder and Sif, the three were intent on conquering all of Asgard and then Earth.

Enchanters Return

Years later, Thor discovered that he was having difficulty controlling Mjolnir, which would sometimes veer away when thrown or not return at all. The mystery resolved itself during a battle with the Absorbing Man, when Mjolnir became lodged in a wall and refused to return. Thor reverted back to his Jake Olsen persona, who was subsequently given a heart attack by a being that emerged from Mjolnir - Enrakt, the newest Enchanter. Apparently Enrakt is the youngest of the brothers and was still in training during the first bout with the Asgardians. Although the Warriors Three came to Thor's aid, they were defeated by Enrakt, who bragged about the fact that his now free brothers, Brona and Magnir, were attacking Odin at that very moment. Jake Olsen took advantage of the melee to reclaim Mjolnir, and as Thor fought Enrakt to standstill. As Enrakt somehow had power over Mjolnir, he was able to catch and hurl the hammer back at Thor, and then left to join the battle in Asgard. Cover to Thor Vol. ...

The Living Talismans

One of the Living Talismans of the Enchanters Three. Publisher Marvel Comics

Each of the Enchanters wore a sentient talisman carved in the image of a stone face on their chests. Each of these Living Talismans could speak and act of their own volition; absorb energy and most importantly enhance the Enchanters' powers, sometimes to an unbelievable degree as Enrakt was capable of overcoming Odin's enchantments on Mjolnir and used the weapon against Thor. Each Living Talisman could also manifest itself in other forms, such as an elemental storm or as an imposing and incredibly strong humanoid creature. All four Living Talismans were presumably destroyed - Odin crushed those belonging to Forsung and Brona; Thor destroyed Enrakt's, and Magnir's was apparently disposed of before being banished again.
