| “ | Is not this, simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power; for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel. | „ |

| “ | Dear brother, you're becoming predictable. I trust you, you betray me. Round and round in circles we go. See, Loki, life is about... it's about growth. It's about change. But you seem to just want to stay the same. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you'll always be the God of Mischief... but you could be more. | „ |

Summary
Loki Laufeyson is the son of Laufey, the ruler of the Frost Giants of Jotunheim. Shortly after his birth, he was abandoned and left to die. Found by Odin, Loki was raised by his adoptive mother, Frigga, in Asgard as an Asgardian prince, alongside Thor. When he grew up, he became the God of Mischief.
Loki's jealousy for Thor would result in him attempting to take the throne of Asgard, but the return of Hela would ultimately prompt him to assist Thor in rescuing the remaining Asgardians, though he would be forced to give up the Tesseract in order to save his brother's life from Thanos. Loki would unsuccessfully try to kill the Mad Titan with a dagger, costing him his life.
