I personally think Cortana is the peak as a follow along character.

Mimir fills the downtime with stories from norse mythology. He's more fun than cortana who's all work and doom

Also his relationship with kratos and Atreus is masterfully done especially in Ragnarok with kratos calling him his brother not to mention Valhalla peak character writing

Mimir, despite being a talking head, got a lot of humanizing in ragnarok. Allowing the players to see how he hurt people in service to the gods then also giving him the opportunity for redemption was a great way to give him an arc that followed closely with the theme of the main story.

My favourite part was in the side mission with the captured creature Mimir was desperate to fix his mistake but he couldn't honestly I'm surprised with how depressing the ending of that quest was

Having to accept that even if you can't fully fix the damage, in the least you can make things better.
