Murphy (BG spoilers) (also some thoughts on the book overall)
Bad Alias:
Corb did pay a weregild to Marcone for killing a bunch of his guys. I'm pretty sure the guys were repeatedly described as Einherjar. The paying of the weregild is probably in the last three of four chapters.

They should get a bonus for dying. It shows commitment.

Not in Peace Talks, but at the Accords meeting at the end of Battle Ground there was talk of the Fomor compensating the members for paying for the damages to the people of Chicago. I don't think Corb paid anything, not at this time. Why would he? At the end of Peace Talks he thought that he and the Titan would walk all over everyone including Marcone. At the end of Battle Ground he and his people were at war with Marcone and the rest of the members of the Accords. So where is the incentive to pay it?

Maybe as part of the Naughty/Nice discussion?
Mr. Death:
On the subject of the Einherjar, there's precious little about their powers. For what it's worth, the Paranet Papers' write-up, has:
--- Quote ---Powers: None. Really—they gain nothing from
being brought back to this world, except the
chance to fight as a mortal again. They’re very
highly trained combatants, however, with literally
centuries of experience at killing lots of
things. They don’t seem restricted by ancient
practices and are just as good with machine guns
and Kevlar as with axe and mail.
Weaknesses: They’re mortal. It’s possible that
they recover from injury faster than normal
people do, as a result of Odin’s blessing, but
that’s speculative.

The only other real data point we have is how Murphy's sparring partner in Ghost Story doesn't seem at all put out by her breaking his hand, which to me could imply that he expects it to heal up, but it's not dispositive.
