Loki was born on Jotunheim in 965 A.D. as the son of the Frost Giant King, Laufey. Small and weak for a Frost Giant, Loki was abandoned by his father in a temple where he was expected to die.  Not long after the war between the Giants and the Asgardians, Loki was found by King Odin. As Odin held Loki, his appearance altered making him appear to be an Asgardian. Odin adopted and raised Loki and his biological son, Thor, with his wife Frigga. As they grew up, Loki always felt like he was living in Thor's shadow.
