Sosruko
Character in the Nart sagas of the Caucasus
Sosruko, Sosruquo, or Sosriqwa, Soslan (Adyghe: Саусэрыкъо; Iron Ossetic: Сослан, Soslan; Kabardian: Сосрыкъуэ, Sosryqwa; Sosuruq/Sosurqa) is a central character in many cycles of the Nart sagas of the North Caucasus. Sosruko is a powerful but devious man who is the smallest of the Narts; as a character, he is sometimes cast in the light of the trickster god, comparable to the Scandinavian Loki (who finds a closer parallel in the Nart Syrdon, however), Georgian Amirani, or the Ancient Greek Prometheus.

From Wikipedia
Sosruko, Sosruquo, or Sosriqwa, Soslan (Adyghe: Саусэрыкъо; Iron Ossetic: Сослан, Soslan; Kabardian: Сосрыкъуэ, Sosryqwa; Sosuruq/Sosurqa) is a central character in many cycles of the Nart sagas of the North Caucasus. Sosruko is a powerful but devious man who is the smallest of the Narts; as a character, he is sometimes cast in the light of the trickster god, comparable to the Scandinavian Loki (who finds a closer parallel in the Nart Syrdon, however), Georgian Amirani, or the Ancient Greek Prometheus. It is possible that at least in the latter case, Sosruku served as a direct inspiration. In Circassian mythology, it was the Nart Sosriqwe, minion of the gods and his doting mother, Lady Satanaya, who stole fire from the giant.
