Hagen, also known as Högni, is a warrior from Burgundian legends concerning the Germanic heritage of the Burgundian realm in Worms. Hagen is frequently recognized as a sibling or half-sibling of King Gunther. In the Nibelungenlied, he is referred to as Hagen of Tronje. Certain versions suggest that Hagen is the Oheim of the three kings, meaning he is the brother or brother-in-law of their mother Ute. The Thidreks saga states that Hagen was the half-brother of Gunnar. Not entirely human, however, as he was conceived by an elf, with the wife of the king during the absence of the king. The Thidreks saga states that it was Walter of Waskensten or Walter of Aquitaine who blinded Hagen in battle. In the previously mentioned stories, it is Hagen who slays the hero Siegfried while hunting, injuring him in the one area of his body that was not indestructible. In Norse lore, Högni, equivalent of Hagen, is more moderate, and the true killer of Sigurd, the Norse version of Siegfried, is Gutthorm, a younger sibling of Gunnar and Högni, who acts under the influence of his older brothers. In German narratives, Gunther and Hagen, along with Kriemhild herself, are the last victims of the downfall of Nibelungs. Hagen will not disclose the location of the Nibelung treasure to Kriemhild while his king Gunther is alive. As Gunther is killed, the fatally injured Hagen persists in his defiance, knowing for certain that Gunther can no longer falter or reveal the secret, having been beheaded by Kriemhild using Balmung, sword of Siegfried that Hagen had taken after demise of Siegfried. In Norse stories, it is Gunnar who declines to reveal the secret to Attila the Hun while Högni is alive, ultimately leading to death of Högni. Högni chuckles while Attila has his heart removed.
