Loki

Profile

The most important thing to know about Loki is that he's a trickster god. A trickster is someone who generally specializes in making trouble for no other reason than his own amusement. That sounds like Loki, all right. He's a total mischief-maker. The humans of Middle-Earth call Loki the fire god. When you think of it, this title seems fitting. Like fire, Loki can be useful. Let fire get out of control, though, and you're in for trouble and destruction – maybe even the end of the world as you know it.
