Baldur is a god in Germanic and Norse mythology, and is the son of the god Odin and the goddess Frigg. He is known for his beauty, charm, and wisdom, and is the favorite of the gods. Baldur has numerous brothers, including Thor and Váli. He is associated with light, joy, purity, and the summer sun. Baldur is also known for his death, which is a significant event in Norse mythology. According to legend, the gods amused themselves by throwing objects at him, knowing that he was immune from harm. However, the blind god Höd, deceived by the evil Loki, killed Baldur by hurling mistletoe, the only thing that could hurt him. After his death, Baldur was sent to Hel, the goddess of the underworld, but was later resurrected. Baldur is also featured in various video games and comic books.
