Detailed Germanic character of Norse deity (4)
I believe the answer is:
thor
'norse deity' is the definition.
(Thor is an example)
'detailed germanic character' is the wordplay.
'detailed' means to remove the last letter (the word must be end-less or 'de-tailed').
'germanic character' becomes 'thorn' (historical Germanic letter once used in English).
'thorn' with its final letter taken away is 'THOR'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for thor that I've seen before include "Norse god for whom Thursday is named" , "Norse god of thunder - a weekday is named after him" , "Norse deity" , "Comic superhero" , "Scandinavian god of thunder and the weather" .)
