He was married to the faithful Sigyn.To call Loki a trickster is to malign the word. He is a malicious God who is pleasant to look upon, but dangerous to meet up with. Loki was the father (with his mistress, Angrboda) of Hel, the Goddess who ruled the realm of the dead in the north; as well as the Midgard Serpent, (Jormungand) and the huge wolf Fenrir.
