Loki was represented as the companion of the great gods Odin and Thor , helping them with his clever plans but sometimes causing embarrassment and difficulty for them and himself.

Sources indicated that Loki was originally a demon, or a Jotunn, since he born to two giants. Loki, as a result of sharing blood with Odin, became an Aesir, making him Odin's brother. In contrast with popular movies, Loki is actually Thor's step-uncle, not his brother.
