In the early days of the universe, Laufey ruled Jotunheim, realm of the Frost Giants. When his son Loki was born a runt, an ashamed Laufey ordered the baby hidden.[1]
After Odin invades Jotunheim and kills Laufey in battle, he discovers Loki and decides to adopt him.[1][2] It is later revealed that Laufey survived the battle and was killed by a time-traveling future Loki.[3]
Like all Frost Giants, Laufey possesses immense physical abilities and the ability to manipulate ice. As a Frost Giant, he is immune to cold temperatures, but is vulnerable to extreme heat.[12] He has been seen wielding many weapons, including a giant war club, sword, large axe, and the Casket of Ancient Winters.[13]

Subsequently, Laufey was defeated and agreed to a truce with the Asgardians. In the present, Laufey breaks the truce and allies with Loki in an attempt to kill Odin before being betrayed and killed by him.
