Tavern keeper of Nidavellir#

His resentment reflected the dwarves' wider grievance at the Aesir's interference in their affairs.
Brok's funeral#
Raeb was present at the funeral of Brok, paying his respects alongside Lunda, Durlin, Sindri, Kratos, Mimir, and Freya. Though he spoke little, he honored Brok by performing the music for the ceremony, lending the occasion a solemn and respectful tone that reflected the close-knit bonds of the craftsmen of Nidavellir and their shared grief.
