Loki Laufeyjarson is the god of mischief of Norse mythology , a son of Fárbauti and Laufey. He is described as the "contriver of all fraud". Loki is in a sense both a god and a Jotun (comparable to the Titans and Gigantes of Greek mythology). He mixed freely with the gods for a long time, even becoming Odin's blood brother. The composer Richard Wagner presented Loki under an invented Germanized name Loge in his operas Das Rheingold and Die Walküre.
