Höðr (often anglicized as Hod, Hoder, or Hodur) is the blind God of Winter, Cold & Darkness, in Norse mythology.
Biography[]
He is the third son of Odin (by Frigg). His twin brother is the beauty-god, Baldr, and their eldest brother is the thunder-god, Thor.
He is depicted as having his eyes closed or covering them completely. The only source of information of him thus far is when he is seen as being manipulated and tricked by Loki, and therefore accidentally kills his brother Baldr by throwing a shaft of mistletoe and piercing him in the heart.
