Loki (mythology)

Loki was a Norse god, best-known as a cunning trickster.

"Loki the Liar" existed during the Dvapara Yuga, the time of legend that predated the Great Houses' binding of the universe to rationality. He once fought Krishna. (PROSE: Dharmayuddha)

Remembered by humans as part of Norse mythology, he was regarded as a trickster, a shapeshifter, a joker, and one who spoke in riddles. (PROSE: Dark Horizons) He was the god fire and mischief. He was Odin's "blood brother" until he killed Odin's son, Baldur, (PROSE: Where Angels Fear) with mistletoe (PROSE: Timewyrm: Revelation) out of jealousy and spite. Loki was chained underground until he broke free and Ragnarok began. (PROSE: Where Angels Fear) A young A. H. Millington wrote an essay about Loki at the helm of the Dead Men's Ship heading to Asgard. Loki then clashed with Heimdal in scorching flames. (PROSE: The Curse of Fenric)

According to one account, thanks to his many faces, the Doctor was the inspiration for the mythological Loki, something he was aware of by his eleventh incarnation. (PROSE: Picnic at Asgard) Indeed, Freydis once mistook the Eleventh Doctor as Loki. (PROSE: Dark Horizons)

Wiglaf called Sally Morgan "daughter of Loki". (AUDIO: Black and White)

Aldis once told a story about Odin, Thor, and Loki coming to take Vikings to a tenth world. (PROSE: The Víkingr Mystique)

A half dozen Remakes of Loki escaped the City of the Saved into the Universe, but none of them could be the original cause of the myth under the History Protocols. (PROSE: Of the City of the Saved...)
