Vali (Norse mythology)

In Norse mythology, Vali (ON Váli) was a child born of Odin and Rind, a giantess. He was birthed for the sole purpose of killing Hod as revenge for Hod's accidental murder of his brother, Baldur. He succeeded.

There is another Vali, a son of Loki by Sigyn, who was transformed by the gods into a slavering wolf who tore out the throat of his brother Narvi to punish Loki for his crimes.
