Personal history
Odin, Loki, & Hœnir went to the foss of the dwarf Andvari who lived there in the form of a pike. In that water also lived Fáfnir & Regin's brother, Ótr who was eating a salmon on the bank, in the shape of an otter. Loki killed Ótr with a stone & the gods skinned him before seeking lodgings at the house of Hreiðmarr, the father of Fáfnir & his siblings. Seeing the otter skin, the family seized the gods & demanded that the gods fill & cover the skin in red gold as weregild. Loki caught Andvari using Rán's net & exports the gold from him. Andvari curses the gold which the gods give to Hreiðmarr. Fáfnir & Regin asked their father for some of the weregild but he refused, leading Fáfnir to kill him. As he dies, Hreiðmarr calls out to his daughters Lyngheiðr & Lofnheiðr, but they take no action. Fáfnir then takes all the hoard, refusing to share it with his brother, and takes to Gnitaheath, where he took the shape of a dragon. Along with Andvari's ring, Andvaranaut, the treasure here is described as including the Helm of fear. Plotting revenge to get the treasure, Regin sends Sigurð to kill the dragon. Regin instructed Sigurð to dig a pit where he could lie in wait under the trail Fáfnir used to go to drink & stab him with the sword Gram as he crawls over the pit. Regin then ran away in fear, leaving Sigurð to the task. As Sigurð dug, Odin appeared as an old man with a long beard. He advised the warrior to dig more than one trench for the blood of Fáfnir to run into, and then disappeared. The earth shook as Fáfnir made his way to the stream, blowing poison before him. Sigurð, waiting in the hole below, stabbed Fáfnir in the left shoulder as he crawled over the ditch, mortally wounding the dragon who thrashed about with his head & tail. As Fáfnir died, he spoke to Sigurð & asked for his name, his parentage, & who sent him on such a dangerous mission. Sigurð in return asks the dragon questions about lore as in Fáfnismál. During this, Fáfnir figured out that his brother, Regin, orchestrated his killing & foretold that the hoard would also cause Sigurð's death.

Social
Contacts & Relations
Loki: Loki is mostly the cause of Fáfnir curse. As he was the one who killed Ótr to begin with. Fáfnir's family demanded that the gods compensate them for their loss, which Loki takes from Andvari, who cursed the gold. Because of this Fáfnir blames Loki for all of his problems.
Siegfried: Siegfried, with the help of Regin, is the one who killed Fáfnir. Despite this he doesn't hate Siegfried. In fact, Fáfnir has a weird relationship with Siegfried, technically becoming apart of him once Siegfried bathed in his blood & ate his heart. Fáfnir is actually kind of glad that Siegfried was the one that killed him, as he feels like nobody else could.
