          Norse deity, son of Odin

          This article is about a son of Odin in Norse mythology. For other uses, see Vali.

          In Norse mythology, Váli (Old Norse) or Boe or Bous (Latin) is a god and the son of the god Odin and Rindr (who is either a goddess herself or a human princess, depending on the sources).

          Váli has numerous brothers including Thor, Baldr, and Víðarr. He was born for the sole purpose of avenging Baldr,[1] and does this by killing Höðr, who was an unwitting participant, and binding Loki with the entrails of his son Narfi.

          Váli grew to full adulthood within one day of his birth, and slew Höðr before going on to Loki. He is prophesied to survive Ragnarök.[1]

          The Váli myth is referred to in Baldrs draumar:

          Rindr will bear Váli
          in western halls;
          that son of Óðinn
          will kill when one night old –
          he will not wash hand,
          nor comb head,
          before he bears to the pyre
          Baldr's adversary.
