Fenris (also spelled Fenrir or Fenrer) is the harbinger of Ragnarok, the end of the world.
History
According to Norse mythology, Fenris' sole purpose is preparing the way for his master Surt, who in turns brings about the destruction of the world. To do so, he must enslave three human souls to be his vanguards in order to fulfill the apocalyptic prophecy. One will be the Vanguard of the Air, one for the Vanguard of the Sea, and one for the Vanguard of the Land. Once this is accomplished, then there will be no way to stop the arrival of Surt.
However, the original Ghostbusters and Slimer captured Surt years ago. For unknown reasons, Fenris surfaced in 1997 from a park lake. He appeared at the Museum of Natural History and was challenged by the Extreme Ghostbusters. Near the "Dinosaurs of the Jurassic" exhibit, they trapped Fenris but he managed to sabotage the trap with his cryokinetic breath. The team quickly delivered the trap to the Containment Unit but Fenris escaped before he could be transferred.
Fenris attacked Egon Spengler which turned him into the Vanguard of the Air then Garrett Miller, into the Vanguard of the Sea, and Roland Jackson, into the Vanguard of the Land. Just as Surt was about to escape, Kylie Griffin wrangled Fenris with her Proton Pistol and shoved him into Surt. Since Fenris represented ice and Surt represented fire, the collision of opposites was enough to force the two entities past the inner hatch. The Containment Unit was then resealed.

He has a very aggressive disposition.
Powers and Abilities
