Vali

Vali was the son of Odin and the giantess Rind. (Vali should not be confused with the son of Loki and Sigyn, who also was named Vali).

When his half-brother Höd (Hod) killed Vali's other half-brother Balder, Rind gave birth to Vali on that very same day. Before Vali was one night old, the infant grew to man-size and killed Höd as revenge for Balder's death. He was therefore called Balder's avenger or avenging As. (See Death of Balder for the full story.)

Vali survived Ragnarök (Ragnarok).
