    This fact that it was a secret suprised me, since it's well known in Norse myth that Baldr is one of Odin's sons.

    Also in Norse mythology, Loki isn't Odin's son. It's a bit unclear what he is exactly, though he is usually seen as the child of a giant.

    If Thor is the eldest then he is the rightful heir to the throne of Asgard.

    @warlock360: I think that's the idea. . .  
    All that's known for sure is that his mother is Frigg (Frigga in the comics), and he's best known as the God of light, love and happiness. He's best known for his relationship with the human princess Nanna and his death. Which is really really sad.
