- Black sheep. His whole family is like lawyers and socialites and politicians. He wanted to go be an actor. He actually is adopted, but has known that the whole time, it's just not been public knowledge.
- The law firm was Odin and Odinson because lulz. And Odin wanted it to be Odin, Odinson, and Odinson. ;)
- Loki went to law school because dad made him. Did well because he's smart. But once he got out he was like "I want to try to do this for myself first, and then if it doesn't work, I'll come work at the firm and shut up about it." Meaning he wanted to go try to make it on his own as an actor. SCANDAL.
- This all came to a head after Loki had passed the bar and set himself up with some auditions and wanted to leave the house to go to those. There was a ridiculous and horrible argument with Odin (with Thor trying to play interference because he did love his little bro even if he thought Loki was being dumb) and there were harsh words and Odin threatened to disown Loki and Loki did the teenager WELL I HOPE YOU DIE thing and stomped out of the house.
- Loki got the part he wanted and immediately after got a phone call letting him know that Odin was in a coma and Thor was dead in a tragic car accident.
- Investigation showed the car accident was caused because the brake lines of the car had been cut. Now, Loki had a good enough alibi, but someone who had overheard the argument leaked the story that Odin had threatened to disown Loki.
- Frigga, unable to bear the double whammy of a dead oldest son and a husband who might as well be dead, is now in a mental institution BUT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT. Adele had to step up and take her place in society to keep that hush-hush. (Adele is also the one that took mom to the asylum and committed her because Loki COULDN'T. Because he was the mommy's boy.)
- Feeling utterly tragic and hating life, Loki took over the law firm and tried to be a good lawyer because GUILT and DADDY ISSUES and SOB BROOOOTHEEEEERRRR. He's now a heartless cut throat lawyer type who is basically a bitter, lonely, empty suit.
Additional: - The person who convinced Loki to take the auditions and try to live his dream (which ultimately caused the argument and maybe the accident) was his cousin Steve. Then when Loki took over the law firm and became a super heartless alcoholic lawyer they had a GIANT ARGUMENT about Loki throwing his dreams away and becoming a giant asshole.
- Konan is one of Loki's university friends; they met when he was taking arts courses on the sly.
- Loki is basically Tony Stark's personal and corporate lawyer. Additionally Tony was friends (/rivals) with Thor, and has known Loki most of his life. And was around when Loki had a horrific emotional breakdown at the funeral.
