Loki

**Loki** (also called **Loge**) is a trickster jötunn, ex-honorary Norse god, and the main antagonist of the *Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard* trilogy. While treated as a nominal member of the Aesir tribe, he was known to switch his allegiance very often. He is, as of now, destined to ultimately side with the Jötnar and lead them in battle against the gods during Ragnarok.

Birth

Loki was born to the jötnar Faurbati and Laufey. At some point in his life, Loki became Odin's blood brother and was made a nominal member of the Aesir.

During his time in Asgard, Loki was as much an ally as he was a hindrance; although his sly and mischievous personality often got him into trouble with the gods, he just as often helped them out when they were in need.

At one point, he found Thor's wife asleep with her hair flowing behind her. He knew Sif prized her hair above anything else and so he cast a spell on her to keep her from waking up and in an act of pure cruelty, he shored off every strand of her golden hair. Thor was enraged upon learning this and was about to annihilate Loki when the trickster god promised a new head of hair for his wife, even more beautiful than the original. In addition, to sweeten the deal, Loki also had Ivaldi forge three other masterpieces: Skidbladnir, a great ship that belongs to Frey and can be folded up and put into one’s pocket, Gungnir, the deadliest of all spears, given to Odin, and a hammer called Mjölnir which would become the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds for Thor.

Death of Balder and Punishment

One day he tricked Hod into throwing a mistletoe-dart at Balder, the only thing that could harm him, and killed him.

As punishment he was bound to a slab of rock with the entrails of his sons Vali and Narvi. A snake was placed over him that dripped venom onto his face. His wife Sigyn was present to catch the venom with a cup, but when it had to be emptied he would be burned by the venom and cause earthquakes as he writhed in pain.
