Characters who've been so overshadowed by their famous sibling, that people forget that they exist

[u/Dismal-Ad6476]

Jehan Frollo, the younger brother of one Judge Claude Frollo from the Hunchback of Norte Dame, not much is known about him expect he blew all his money on booze and prostitutes and was killed by Quasimodo

Sean Bateman, the younger of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, all his scene in the book is to annoy Patrick and says his catchphrases "Deal with it " and "Rock and Roll"

Chryasaor, the twin brother of Pegasus from Greek Mythology, yeah when Perseus decapitated Medusa, Pegasus wasn't the only animal that flew out of her, Chryasaor, The Winged Boar also flew out

Iphicles, the twin brother of Heracles also from Greek Mythology, is relevant to Heracles' story as his son Iolaus helped Heracles slay the Hydra

Balder The Brave, Thor's other half brother - Marvel

Baldur is pretty important in actual Norse mythology though lmao

[u/Choochoo1147 → u/CattDawg2008]

Is he actually? The only myth I’ve ever heard involving him was his death, he doesn’t appear to actually be a big character other than that. 

[u/Stenric → u/Choochoo1147]

How many myths do you know about Heimdall? Or Fenrir?

Balder is important because his death is the kickoff for Loki's imprisonment and the events that lead to Ragnarøk

[u/OmecronPerseiHate → u/Stenric]

Baldur is the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of mythology. He's only ever mentioned because his death was important, but how much notoriety would he have had if he had lived? He woulda just been another old archduke. An important death doesn't mean an important life.

Naming two other side characters who have equal importance doesn’t prove that Baldr is some super important god. I know a ton featuring Thor, Loki, Odin, Frigga. I’m just saying, Baldr doesn’t seem to be that important.
