Helblindi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Norse mythology, Helblindi ("Hel-blinder" or "All-blind") is a jötunn,[1] brother of Loki and Býleistr and possibly son of Fárbauti ("cruel-striker") and his wife Laufey.[2] Helblindi is also a heiti used to describe Odin.
Though not directly attested in any original source, scholars have considered Helblindi to be a son of Fárbauti. However, their exact role in the ancient mythic complex surrounding Loki's family remains unclear.[3]
