Loki Laufeyson, off-beat tech analyst; crime solver

Loki Laufeyson is originally from San Gabriel, California and he speaks with an English accent. He himself has hinted that his family was from an upper middle class or wealthy background. Although friends and family told him that science was for geeks, Loki knew from a young age that he wanted to become a scientist. Although he was never good at sports, Loki was the captain of the high school chess team. Loki's overprotective mother refused to let him play sports in high school because he was her only child. At some stage, Loki moved in New York. He also used to bowl in high school and he also reveals that he once stole his Papa Olaf's car while he was taking a nap when he was 12, took it round the block twice and almost ran over his own foot when trying to reverse it back into the driveway. His father's side was from Harstad, Norway. His mother's side was from Oslo, Norway. Loki's family moved to California.
Loki is said to have been an extremely intelligent child prodigy. He attended a school for the gifted at both grammar and high school levels. He successfully earned his degree in chemistry at a University where he graduated. He had a wide variety of hobbies, including surfing, scuba diving, and numismatics (the study of money/coins and currency). However, he also contradicts his scientific training and believes in occultism, stating that one could have paranormal beliefs and also be a scientist.
Loki Laufeyson is portrayed as a cheerful and optimistic individual. He is often met with the disapproval of his supervisor, due to listening to loud music such as Marilyn Manson while running lab machines and hiding magazines in some area cabinets. He was initially the resident lab rat, only appearing occasionally. It was shown that Loki longed for a position out in the field, especially when he had several personnel injured or hospitalised. He failed his first proficiency test when he urinated in a toilet at a crime scene, but having spent several hours studying and assisting the CSIs, he eventually attained the rank of CSI Level One. As the lowest-ranking CSI, he is often given the more menial or unpleasant tasks, such as fishing for a liquefied body or diving in a dumpster. He initially rarely interviewed suspects. However, he later graduated to investigating crime scenes on his own.
Loki has been newly promoted to CSI Level 3, and during his time out into the field, he is shown to be kind natured and compassionate. He was originally portrayed as a girl-crazy geek with interesting hair and odd shirts. He would be seen dancing in his lab or in the hallways, or be seen conducting an invisible symphony. Eventually, Loki matured quite a bit, but without losing his wacky touch and still changes his hair occasionally. Loki has had moments of aggression while on the job. He would be seen yelling at someone, grab a camera from someone taking pictures, and physically stopping two workers with a wooden plank, much to Thor's amazement. Despite having been a CSI for six or seven years, Loki was the only one of the CSIs not seen carrying a gun whenever he went into the field. He would be rarely seen with one during the standoff or if there is one available.
Loki makes no secret of his crush on Ksenia. She sometimes reciprocates romantic feelings for Loki. However, when the relationship between her and her boss was revealed, Loki was not bitter about her dating, and he continues to flirt with her. Loki tells Thor that he was aware of their relationship. When Ksenia was suspended because of a quarrel with another CSI, Loki was the one who defended her.
Loki and co-worker, Thor Odinson, have remained brotherly with Thor affectionally calling him "Lo" sometimes. Thor does not look at Loki any differently now that he is a CSI. He has often encouraged Loki in the field, and has been seen giving Loki some of his first CSI experiences. The two remain very close friends.
