Laufey (Earth-4211)

"Your father is a liar, a murderer and a thief. He stole what was ours, and left our world in ruins."

- - Laufey to Thor

Laufey was the ruler of Jotunheim and the Frost Giants, as well as, unknown to him, the father of Loki. A tyrannical leader who opposed Odin's former dictatorship, Laufey started an invasion on Tønsberg, Norway, on Earth, that failed when Odin and the Asgardians interfered.

Early Life
Through sheer power and dominance, Laufey became the King of the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, seizing the mystical Casket of Ancient Winters, which possessed incredible destructive power.

Battle of Norway
Assembling his armies, Laufey invaded Tønsberg, Norway, on Earth, killing a whole viking village. Noticing this, the Asgardians, led by King Odin, assembled their Einherjar armies and prepared for battle, using the Bifrost to travel to Earth. The Asgardians managed to get the upper hand in the battle, driving the Frost Giants back to their world, where Odin defeated Laufey, at the cost of his own eye, and a truce was settled by the two. During this time, Laufey had a son, Loki, but left him to die because of his frail nature and short stature.
