Loki however never really succeeded and Balder's reputation as a just and noble immortal continued to grow. More then just once, Loki set a traps for the kind Balder, hoping for him to either perish or trying to blame a misdeed on him.
This made fellow Asgardian Loki loathe Baldur. Balder became known for his kindness, which resulted in an innate empathy and symbiosis with all life, even extending to a connection to all animals in all realms touched by the World Tree (birds, deer, bears, even elves and dwarves). He was also often seen with the Warriors Three, but was not part of that merry band. Balder grew up in the fabled halls of Asgard and became a stalwart friend and ally to Thor. This made his mother decide to make him invulnerable to all weapons and spells, save for mistletoe wood.
The visions saw that Balder's death would start the Ragnarock. Balder's birth was not celebrated, as Odin received dreams and portents that foretold Balder's role as the catalyst for Ragnarok. Balder is the biological son of Odin by Frigga.
