Database: Loki

It is hard being the smartest person in the room, especially when no one else will acknowledge it. Of all the Æsir, only Odin has shown a true appreciation for Loki's intelligence, and even then, the All-Father has only ever done so to further his own knowledge-seeking agenda.

As much as he resents his Asgardian overlords, Loki – the son of a Jotun – would prefer see the Aesir be the architects of their own destruction, rather than having to do the heavy lifting himself.
