According to Norse myth, Baldr, the son of Odin and Frigg, was the most beloved of all the Aesir. A bright and optimistic figure within all of Norse myth, from what I can gather.
Curiously, among his many innate talents, Baldr had the gift of foresight, an ability to see the future, or at least some version of it. He fell into a great depression after seeing his own death, and in this subdued state, was presumably easier for Surtr's forces to kidnap than under ordinary circumstances.
Brought to Svartalfheim as part of Surtr's dark designs, it is unclear exactly what role Baldr has to play in the conquest of Svartalfheim. All that is known is that his parents will bring the realm to its knees in their bid to rescue 'the pride of the Æsir'.
