Biography

Early Life

Derrick was adopted when he was young, and doesn't know who is parents are. What happened when he turned 21 is unknown, but when he was in prison for some time he learned from a fellow inmate (the mortal form of Tyr) that he was the reincarnate of Thor. Since then Derrick has been married and spawned a daughter, whom he believed was a Goddess because she was the daughter of a God (unaware both parents need to be Gods).

Season 1

Derrick noticed his grandmother Selma outdoors watching the sky and told her to get inside just as she was hit by a meteorite. At her funeral, Derrick comforted his sister Angelicka as she spoke about Selma. Back at the farm, Derrick was cooking on the barbeque when he was approached by Olaf and Ingrid, who asked if he was Thor. Derrick was immediately suspicious, and followed the pair and the others they had come with and demanded to know who they were. They said they were Gods and Goddesses, and one of the claimed to be Odin. Derrick didn't believe this at first, but realised they were telling the truth and bowed to Axl. Over a meal he learned of the group's quest to find Frigg and had been lead to him by Selma's death, and he assuned that his daughter Delphine was the one they were looking for.

Derrick sent everyone except Axl away, and led him out onto the farm where he showed his incredible accuracy in killing a rabbit by throwing his hammer from far away. He asked Axl to prove he wasn't just claiming to be Odin, and regretted it as one of his goats was killed, but said he'd brought it on himself. He took Axl to Delphine's room and left them to 'get to know each other' while he made a goat stew. When they came out Axl said they were going to take things slow, which Derrick didn't take too well. During dinner Axl finally took things too far and Derrick chased him outside and threw his hammer. Axl got hold of it and he demanded it back as Axl took control and told him Delphine wasn't a Goddess and she said that she was pregnant to another farmer. Derrick's temper rose, but Axl calmed him down by making him realise a child is a good thing and Derrick submitted to the Odin reincarnate, not wanting to question him. (Goddesses, Axl, Come In All Forms)

Season 2

Since Axl's visit, all of Derrick's goats died, because he ate them. (Magical Fluffy Bunny World)

Derrick was 'working' in his outhouse when Axl called. Derrick was delighted to hear from Odin, and made it clear he was at his command. Axl requested that he come up to Auckland to help deal with a Giant problem, and though Derrick was initially unaware that their world had Giants in it, and had never actually met one, stated he would love to kill one, and quickly left to head to Auckland. (Everything Starts With Gaia)

Upon arriving at Axl's flat, Derrick complained about the traffic, and immediately smelled pie, which indicated a Giant being around. Though learning Bryn was a midget Giant and on Axl's side, Derrick threatened him with his hammer, unwilling to trust him and only holding back by Axl's order. When Gaia, who was destined to become Frigg, escaped, Derrick blamed Bryn even though he had never been out of his sight. Luckily Axl's brother Mike knew where she was, and Derrick drove the group in his truck to Mike's bar, driving extremely recklessly to Axl and Bryn's distaste.

Derrick's eager to kill a Giant

After meeting some of the other deitities gathered, Derrick was eager to kill and kill Eggther, though eventually the plan became that they would try to reason with him, to his disappointment. However once they were at the arranged meeting point, Derrick was barely able to contain himself and when he decided enough was enough, began chasing Eggther despite Axl's protest, and though he had him, Axl, Bryn and Mike held him back until Axl convinced him to back off. After the situation was resolved, Axl sent Derrick off on his way, though Derrick decided that he would check out the Sky Tower while he was around. (Magical Fluffy Bunny World)

Season 3

When Axl arrived at a pub in Whangamaungamoa, he was unpleasently surprised to see Derrick stumble out of the bathroom drunk. Upon seeing Axl, Derrick grovelled at his lord Odin, and asked for his help in retrieving his hammer, which he said had been stolen by bandits. He then unceremoniously threw up on Axl's shoes. (And Then On to Norsewood)

Known to have been married to a mortal woman, the mother of Delphine. Currently deceased.

Has an adopted sister and grandmother, who was killed by meteorite as a part of a sign.

Trivia

• He uses a hammer as the actual Norse God Thor does in mythology.
• Ingrid refers to him as the God of War, though Thor is said to be the God of Thunder.
• He really doesn't like rabbits.
• Derrick claimed to have known a one-armed prison inmate who was the God Tyr. This is expected to have been Gaia's father, however depending on when this occurred, it may have also been Helen's father; another God sent to prison whose identity is unknown, or another incarnate of Tyr if the incarceration occurred within the last 15 years.
