Loki (Scion)
Loki is the Norse god of fire and of mischief.
Overview
Loki is notorious for tricking and manipulating the other Aesir, and he seems to have loyalty to no one but himself. Although he is Odin's blood-brother, he is also the father of the Midgard Serpent and the Fenris Wolf, two notorious titanspawn. According to stories, he is fated to side with the Titans at the end of the world.
Loki is a master of disguise and even outright shape-shifting, so he can be found in a variety of modern settings. Rather than being the one in charge, he's usually the oh-so-helpful assistant or second-in-command — and he's nowhere to be seen when things inevitably go sour. He's a master of the art of the double-cross, and prefers to think of himself as clever rather than cowardly.
Few Scions of Loki exist, mostly because the other Aesir rarely let him go out and about alone. They know he's fated to betray him, and that some of his children are already on the side of the Titans, so they keep him on a short leash. They also have a habit of pre-emptively hunting down any Scions he has fathered, just in case they take after their titanspawn half-siblings.
