The blind god

 

According to The Prose Edda, Höðr is the blind son of Oðin and Frigg. He was tricked (by Loki) into slaying his otherwise invulnerable brother, Baldr, with a spear of mistletoe (the only thing that could harm him). Although he did not intend to harm his brother, Höðr was killed in turn by Vali (a son born to Oðin for the express purpose of avenging Baldr’s murder). After Ragnarok, Höðr will be vindicated and rule with Baldr and others over the new world.
