Loki's daughter. Born with a disfigured face Hel asked to leave Asgaard. Odin, the All-Father, sent her to the Underworld, charging her with caring for the souls of people whose deaths had not occurred through violence or in battle. She decides whether souls are good or evil and to what degree. Then souls are sent to one of the nine levels of Helheim, ranging from a heaven-like place to Neostrand, where snakes dropped venom upon the wicked.
