  • Before Odin turned to violence and warmongering, Grinhilda commanded his Valkyries as a powerful force of good. She was his lover as well until Xena usurped both positions For all her martial skill, she was most at home in times of peace, seeing combat as a regretful necessity. Back in Xena's ruthless days she stole the Rheingold and forged it into a ring to take the powers of a god, and forced Grinhilda to wear it. Grinhilda, not having forsaken love, was transformed into a monster (she valued her beauty most). Xena chopped off her ring finger to get the Ring back, and then trapped for over 30 years. Unknown to all, Grinhilda was the mother of Grindl. She was already pregnant when Xena took the ring from her: he was afflicted by the curse in utero and became a monster. He may have been the son of Odin. When Xena heard about Grindl's rampage, she assumed that Grinhilda had finally broken free, and she teamed up with Beowulf and Brunhilda to stop "her". Xena discovered the truth after examining Grindl's corpse and realizing that he had all his fingers. A vengeful Grinhilda then teamed up with Odin to get revenge on Xena, but the warrior princess managed to turn the tables, break the curse, and free her former friend. Grinhilda returned to her position as a Valkyrie and forgave Xena for her actions. Later on, Grinhilda conspired with Xena to bring love and war back to Earth by stealing the Golden Apples and restoring the powers of Aphrodite and Ares. Amongst other things, she acted as Nigel's confidential source, using him to ensure that Aphrodite was in the right place at the right time.

Grinhilda put on the ring to use against her, but was turned into a monster before she could kill her. 36 years later when she was turned back into a human, she didn't age at all, and Xena brought her back to Valhalla. She forced Odin to make her the leader of the Valkyries again, so she could use them for good. When Aphrodite was made mortal, Grinhilda had Nigel the new reporter find her and bring her to Valhalla where Xena could make her a goddess again.
