Loki was born to the [[Jotunn|Jötnar]] Farbautí (ON: "cruel-striker") and Laufey (ON: "leaves"). 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
hinderence
; although his sly and mischievous personality often got him into trouble with the gods (such as cutting off Sif's hair), he just as often helped them when in need (helping Thor retrieve [[Mjolnir|his hammer]], stopping a Jötunn mason from marrying Freyja while still getting Asgard's wall rebuilt.) 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 caustic venom on his face.
[[Sigyn|
His wife]] 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.

Loki is sly, manipulative, charming, humorous, mischievous, quick to anger, and cruel
when he needs to be

At times, he almost appears to be a casebook psychopath with a lack of remorse and any form of empathy. Even his wife, Sigyn, who has been loyally at his side for centuries was at the mercy of his temper,
him
wasting
no time calling her a "worthless woman" when she slipped and dripped poison him. When Blitzen had been stabbed, Loki seemed to take great pleasure in it, even going so far as to make jokes at the dwarf's expense.

Despite his negative traits, Loki does harbor affection for his children, especially Vali

and Narvi.

However, his affection for his kids
(at least his demigod ones)
may be an act as he didn't think twice about attempting to murder them in ''The Hammer of Thor ''nor did he think twice about using force to manipulate them against their free will, even going as far as to tease and jeer at them as he did so. He was also plenty willing to treat his children as tools in his schemes, using Sam as a bargaining chip to get the Skofnung sword.
