Njord is one of the gods of the sea, and also of wealth. He can control winds and fire. He was once married to the goddess Skadi. He is the least intimidating of the Norse sea gods (no shade to them, but Ran has a scary reputation!). I personally consider him the same deity as the goddess Nerthus, and therefore as a transmasculine deity (or whatever is closest to that in divine terms -- I don't think gods have the exact same experience with gender and sexuality as we humans do). He is deeply pacifist and does not fight, even in Ragnarok.
