Hod (also; Hoth, Hodur, Hoder, Hoth)

In norse mythos Hod is the blind god of darkness and winter. He is the son of Odin and Frigg. Hod is tricked by Loki into throwing a dart made of mistletoe at his brother Baldur. Even though it was not Hod's intention to kill Baldur, his father Odin decided he must be punished. Odin created a son Vali to get revenge. After the end of the world, Ragnarock, it is said Hod and Baldur will be reborn to rule all.

The planet Hoth in starwars was named after Hod.
