Loki, also called Lopt, is Odin's blood brother. He is also said to be associated with the devil in Chrisianity. He is said to be friends with and fight along with the giants, which are the mortal enemy of the gods. How he does all that and still can meet with the other gods at the World Tree may be why he is known as the "trickster". All I know is, he is a bad dude in the Thor and Avengers movies.
Not only is Loki a bad dude, but he also mated with an ogress named Angrboda and had three (3) monster children. The children of this ugly union are Midgard the serpent, Fenrir the wolf, and Hel. When the gods found out about this mating session, they quickly had the kids brought before Odin at the World Tree. The gods feared that the children would become very problematic for them in the future. Odin cast Midgard, the serpent into to sea. You may also know him as Jormungand and one of Thor's greatest enemies. Hel was cast down to rule over the world of the dead. She is described as half alive and half dead. Fenrir was kept by the gods and fed by Tyr, who I mentioned in an earlier post, lost his hand to Fenrir when he bit it off.
