The Hammer of Thor
Inge was first seen when Magnus Chase and Hearthstone are brought to Alderman's house. After she informs Alderman of his son's return, he has her serve them refreshments. After Alderman talks with Magnus and his son, he orders Inge to take them to Hearth's room and to clean up his mess. She explains Hearthstone's punishment to Magnus and tells them that the fastest way to complete it is by stealing Andvari's treasure.
