Balder Odinson is one of the many sons of Odin the All-Father. Balder is famed for having the most kind and gentle soul in all of Asgard, and is most often seen fighting alongside Thor as an ally, or, earlier on, trying to escape the clutches of Karnilla. Although he is one of the most brilliant warriors in the realm, he prefers to take a more pacifist approach, once renouncing his sword altogether.
