Try Wotan. Wotan is the kind of guy who will build up a mortal to near deital status, then drop him naked and helpless into a cesspool just for a giggle. Read Neil Gaiman's American Gods for his take on Wotan, and a much darker version of Loki than found in most popular works on Norse mythology.Of course, if you want a really nasty bastard, take a look at the Odin of Sweden. A whole forest was given over to recreating his act of self sacrifice. Zeus was merely arrogant, the Odin of Sweden was actively malign.</blockquote>
