Gairwyn
THE STARGATE OMNIPEDIA
GAIRWYN
A friend to SG-1, Gairwyn lives on the Asgard-protected world of Cimmeria. She is a leader among her people, who are descended from a Norse tribe taken from Earth by the Goa'uld thousands of years ago.

Gairwyn and her people have worshipped Thor, until SG-1 recently revealed to her that Thor and the "gods" are actually an advanced alien race known as the Asgard, who have taken up a protectorship of their world. After Carter, Jackson and Gairwyn contacted Thor to ask for his help in rescuing Cimmeria from Goa'uld occupation, she herself was taken aboard the Asgard vessel and met the real Thor, face-to-face.
