History

Aegir was the Asgardian god of the sea and a friend of Odin.

He lived in a castle made of coral underwater beneath the Island of Hlesey, guarded by Fish-Men, and had a life of joy, thanks to the companionship of the Ocean-Nymphs.

At some point, he sired three Mermaidens, including Rana. He was also the father of Saga the goddess of poetry.

After Loki had Hoder kill Balder with a mistletoe arrow, Aegir held a feast at Odin's behest, for the Aesir to discuss the incoming Ragnarök, without Loki.

Odin was entertaining Aegir in Asgard when Loki arrived to beg release from his sentence for trying to start Ragnarök.
