Many years ago, Laufey and his people, the Frost Giants of Jotunheim spread terror throughout the lands of Midgard (Earth) and used to cast eternal winters with the Casket of Ancient Winters. However, Laufey was bested in battle by Odin, but not before ridding Odin of his one eye. They made a truce between their kingdoms. He had once fathered a son, but Laufey's child was to small, even for a Frost Giant. He left his son to die in the cold frozen wastelands in a temple. However, as Odin begun to leave Jotunheim. he found the baby Laufey abandoned and named the child Loki. He used Asgardian magic to conceal Loki's appearance to that of an Asgardian and both Odin and Frigga raised Loki alongside their son, Thor Odinson.

Centuries later, Laufey plotted to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters back from Asgard by sending two Frost Giants to retrieve it. When Odin was in his Odinsleep state, Laufey attempted to kill his old foe after besting Frigga in a small skirmish. He ended up being killed by his own son to save Odin.
