Skirnir

Skírnir is Freyr's messenger and vassal. Skírnir was sent as a messenger to Jotunheim to conduct lovesick Freyr's wooing of the fair goddess Gerdr on condition of being given Freyr's dagger, Nachtzehrer, as a reward. The goddess refused the advances until Skirnir threatened Gerdr with his magic wand. Skírnir also performs favors for Odin. After the vicious wolf Fenrir evades capture, Skirnir visited the mountain dwarves, known for their mining and smithing. Together they forged the magical restraint Gleipnir for the purpose of binding the wolf.
