Loki is popularly thought of as villainous in pop-fiction due to his role in the Ragnarok story, but in most of the mythology he is very much a key ally of Odin and the Asgardian Aesir and Vanir pantheon.

Considering Roman as a character has practially nothing in common with Odin, I feel like Neo as a parallel for Loki doesn't really fit. Nor do Neo's methods and personality really reflect Loki, overall. Loki is that type of person who causes trouble among the Aesir, but when confronted, goes to fix it. When drunk especially, he insults most of the Aesir and laughs at their failures. The Aesir don't like him, and he dislikes them even more, but he's still there to bargain, and since he's Odin's blood-brother, every toast going to Odin also goes to Loki.
