I betrayed everyone who ever loved me. I betrayed my father, my brother... my home. I know what I did. And I know why I did it. And that's not who I am anymore.

History

Origins

This Loki Laufeyson is a temporal divergence of his Earth-199999 counterpart, sharing his history up until 2012, when he attacked New York City and battled the Avengers with his armies of Chitauri. He was arrogant, cruel, suave, and self-centered, willing to stab anyone in the back so long as he could get his way.

Becoming a Variant

Following his defeat, Loki was captured by the Avengers and taken to the base of Stark Tower. When future versions of Tony Stark and Ant-Man from 2023 time-traveled to 2012 to try and take the Tesseract, their plan was inadvertently foiled by the Hulk, who knocked the Tesseract from the future Tony and allowed Loki to use it to make a getaway.

Soon after making his escape, Loki was found in the Gobi Desert by the Time Variance Authority, who arrested him for breaking the timeline's original flow and dubbed him "Variant L1130". At Loki's trial, Agent Mobius pleaded before Judge Renslayer to permit him to question the Loki Variant, which was granted to him. Mobius took Loki to his office, where he showed him the future life his "Sacred Timeline" counterpart would have had, including unwittingly contributing to the death of his mother Frigga. Mobius tried to get Loki to open psychologically in order to realize what made him and the other Lokis "tick", to little success. However, when Mobius briefly left Loki unattended, Loki briefly escaped from captivity and came to threaten Casey, demanding the Tesseract back. Casey obliged, but Loki was shocked to notice multiple other Infinity Stones in his drawer, which Casey noted were abundant enough inside the TVA to be used as paperweights. Stunned by the revelation, Loki noted that the TVA must be the greatest power in the Universe, which Casey matter-of-fact agreed with. Loki returned to Mobius' office and viewed the very end of his life, including his death at the hands of Thanos. Realizing that his life had no "glorious purpose" after all, Loki was left broken, at which point Mobius offered him work at the TVA to help capture an entity known as "The Variant" that had been disrupting the timeline while also specifically targeting TVA personnel.

Working with the TVA

After forcing Loki to take an orientation, Mobius took him and a group of Minutemen led by Hunter B-15 to 1985 Oshkosh, the cite of the latest attack at which Hunter C-20 went MIA. Loki immediately tried to weave an elaborate lie as part of his plan to take over the TVA, which Mobius quickly saw through, calling the bluff and returning to TVA. Reading the TVA files on the Ragnarok Loki had a realization and explained to Mobius his new theory about the fugitive Variants hiding inside cataclysms, where their actions had no effect on the timeline. Mobius and Loki tested this theory during the Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and after confirming it, narrowed the fugitive Loki's location down to a Roxxcart Mall disaster in 2050 Alabama. The same team went in there and separated from Mobius, Loki was paired with Hunter B-15 who soon became possessed by the Variant and passed out. Finally coming face to the face with the Variant who turned out to be a female version of him, Loki followed her through a Time Door, despite Mobius telling him not to.

Meeting Sylvie

He found himself back inside the TVA and attempted to stop the Variant, believing that he could use her help in taking over the TA. When the two were spotted by Judge Renslayer, Loki used a TemPad to trap, but inadvertedly trapped himself and the Variant, Sylvie, inside the apocalypse on Lamentis-1 in 2077. The TemPad was initially out of power and then broken, so the two Variants had to work together to leave the doomed moon, to no avail. However, their growing feelings for one another caused a massive Nexus event, enabling the TVA to locate and apprehend them. Mobius put Loki inside a Time Cell with a memory of Sif after hearing from him that he was himself a Variant, believing it to be another lie. However, after learning that Hunter C-20's confession was being suppressed by Renslayer, Mobius turned around and freed Loki from the Time Cell. They were cornered by Ravonna, who ordered Mobius pruned on spot. Renslayer brought the two Variants before the Time-Keepers to be pruned but Hunter B-15, also opened to her true nature, intervened and helped the Loki Variants break free. Sylvie decapitated one of the Time-Keepers, revealing that they were in fact mere animatronics, shocking everyone present. Ravonna managed to prune Loki, but was overpowered by Sylvie who took her captive.

The Void

Loki ended up in the Void where he faced four more Variants of himself: Classic Loki, Boastful Loki, Kid Loki and Alligator Loki. They led Loki away from Alioth and to their lair. However, they were soon betrayed by Boastful Loki who revealed their location to a President Loki and his army of Loki followers. Boastful Loki wished to usurp Kid Loki as the King, but President Loki refused to honor their bargain and intended to take the throne himself, only to be betrayed by his followers in turn. A large brawl broke out between Loki and Classic Loki casted duplicates of himself, Kid, Alligator and L1130 Loki who joined the brawl, allowing their real selves to escape through a portal. L1130 Loki intended to go after Alioth and kill it and the other Lokis agreed to at least take him there. Kid Loki used his device to hone it on Alioth's location, allowing L1130 Loki to witness Alioth's might and the futility of his plan. Suddenly, a car with Mobius and Sylvie arrived, reuniting them with L1130 Lokin. Sylvie countered L1130's plan with her intention to enchant Alioth instead of fighting it directly, after which they shared a tender moment under a blanket. Kid Loki took everyone to Alioth's next location and Mobius went back to the TVA with a TemPad. Sylvie and L1130 Loki stayed to face Alioth, while the other Lokis departed. However, Classic Loki then shared one last look back and decided to return and help. He sacrificed himself to distract Alioth, enabling Sylvie and Loki to enchant it and open the pathway to the Citadel at the End of Time.

He Who Remains

Inside the Citadel, Loki and Sylvie were met by Miss Minutes who gave them one last offer from He Who Remains to be reinserted into their preferred timeline should they agree to stop pursuing the truth behind the TVA. Both Lokis rejected the offer and were met by He Who Remains, who explain the origins of himself and the TVA and presented them a choice: to take over the TVA and continue his mission in a more benevolent way or to kill him and let the branching timelines plunge the Multiverse into a new chaos. Loki was being cautious and wanted to at least think it through, but Sylvie was determined to have her revenge. After a brief fight, she pushed Loki out back into the timestream and killed He Who Remains. This caused a Multiverse to spring anew and Loki ended up in the TVA of Earth-TRN870's past, where neither Mobius or Hunter B-15 recognized him.

Time Slipping

Back at the TVA, Loki discovers that he is uncontrollably warping across time. In the past, Loki is chased by Mobius and the TVA Minutemen. In the present, Loki reunites with Mobius and warns him and B-15 of the threat of He Who Remains' variants, telling them that He Who Remains created the TVA. Loki and Mobius go to meet TVA technician Ouroboros "O. B.", who deduces that Loki is "time slipping", a phenomenon possibly caused by the instability of the timeline branches caused by He Who Remains' death. Loki slips to a point 400 years in the past in the same place, where he instructs O. B. to build a Temporal Aura Extractor device to stop Loki's time slipping. In the present, O. B. suddenly remembers that he has been holding onto the device for centuries, and instructs Mobius to approach the Temporal Loom with it to extract Loki from the time stream as Loki prunes himself. Loki time slips to the future, where he briefly encounters Sylvie opening an elevator before he is pruned at the last possible second. Mobius successfully pulls Loki from the time stream, and the two of them set out to find Sylvie. While in the future, Loki also witnesses the Temporal Loom going critical, forcing the evacuation of the TVA. In the present, Loki, O. B. and Mobius witness the beginning of this meltdown which O. B. begins working to stop.

Loki, Mobius, and B-15 go to 1977 London on Earth-616 and locate Brad Wolfe. They bring him back to the TVA and get him to tell them where Sylvie is. They find her in a branched universe's 1982 Broxton, Oklahoma working at McDonalds and Loki tries to get her to come back to them, but she refuses until Wolfe warns them they are in danger of TVA general Dox's plans of pruning the new branches. They locate Dox and her Minutemen, stopping them and taking them into custody, although most of her plan had succeeded.

Searching a Variant of He Who Remains

Loki, terrified by the thought of He Who Remains' variants, convinces Mobius to find where the variants may be. They track Renslayer's TemPad and travel to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. There, they see a He Who Remains' variant, Victor Timely, presenting his Temporal Loom prototype.[b] Timely flees as four groups chase him: Loki and Mobius, who want to bring him back to the TVA to use his aura to fix the Loom; Renslayer and Miss Minutes, who want him to take his variant's place with them at his side; Sylvie, who wants to kill him; and a robber baron and his allies wanting revenge against Timely's fake invention scam. Loki, Mobius, Renslayer, and Sylvie find Timely at his Wisconsin laboratory. Sylvie relents from killing Timely and allows Loki to take Timely back to the TVA.

Temporal Doom Destroyed

As the Temporal Loom reaches critical, Loki and his friends attempt to fix it, but are blocked by Miss Minutes. In the midst of the group's attempts to fix the Loom, Loki encountered his time slipping past self and pruned his past self, realizing that it was actually he himself who had done it during his earlier adventure. After O. B. takes Miss Minutes off-line, Sylvie is able to enchant Wolfe into pruning Renslayer, but the temporal radiation spaghettifies Timely before he can place the Throughput Multiplier in the Loom. The Temporal Loom explodes and Loki is caught in the blast wave as it engulfs the TVA.

Slipping Back

Having survived the explosion, Loki finds himself in the abandoned TVA and begins time slipping once again, barely escaping as the TVA disintegrates. Loki's time slipping takes him to the branched timelines where his friends Mobius, Hunter B-15, Casey and O. B. have been reset to their previous lives as Don, Dr. Verity Willis, Frank Morris and Dr. A.D. Doug respectively. Of the group, only Doug believes Loki and, since Loki can't control his time slipping, proposes a plan to bring together the group that was present at the explosion to use their collective temporal aura to determine the coordinates that Loki needs to travel back in time to. Although Loki manages to collect the others, Sylvie, who retains her memories as well, is uninterested in helping and gets Loki to admit that his true motivation is a fear of losing his friends and being alone. Sylvie encourages Loki to write his own story like everyone else, but before he can send everyone home, Sylvie appears with the news that her branched timeline died and faded away. She and the group fade away as well, with Loki finally figuring out how to control his time slipping by focusing on a person rather than an event. Declaring that he can "rewrite the story," Loki successfully travels back in time to before the explosion by focusing on O. B.

After centuries spent time slipping to learn from O. B., and after successfully guiding Timely in setting up the Throughput Multiplier, Loki learns that the Temporal Loom cannot be fixed due to the multiverse as it was not equipped to handle it. Loki realizes he has to time slip back to the Citadel and speaks with He Who Remains, who tells him that he was responsible for Loki's time slipping. Loki is told that the Temporal Loom is nothing but a failsafe designed to protect the Sacred Timeline and that Sylvie must die in order to reverse what happened. Unwilling to kill Sylvie, Loki time slips to speak with past versions of Mobius and Sylvie, who tells him that they could fight the multiversal war.

Becoming the new Leader of TVA

Loki believes that the TVA is the best line of defense against He Who Remains' variants and is necessary to exist. He decides to sacrifice his freedom by destroying the Temporal Loom, reviving and maintaining the timelines with his magic, and rearranging them into Yggdrasil. In doing so, he takes over He Who Remains' position, becoming the new keeper of time and the TVA. Inspired by Loki's actions, the TVA is reformed to preserve and protect the multiverse, and to hunt down He Who Remains' variants. Having finally found his glorious purpose, Loki sits alone on a throne at the center of the timelines that he now maintains, listening to his friends through them with a heartbroken but satisfied expression on his face.
