What am I?

Now, is my name yet known to you?
It's Loki's furry son, the wolf one, not the horse. However, his name eludes me atm. I think it might've been "Fenris", but don't quote me on that.
Kudos if you got that because your a mythology geek too... I'll post another riddle later tonight or first thing tomorrow

I read the prose version of them when I was younger, not sure if I qualify as a geek.

Four prisoners are arrested for a crime, but the jail is full and the jailer has nowhere to put them. He eventually comes up with the solution of giving them a puzzle so if they succeed they can go free but if they fail they are executed.
The jailer puts three of the men sitting in a line. The fourth man is put behind a screen. He gives all four men party hats. The jailer explains that there are two red and two blue hats; that each prisoner is wearing one of the hats; and that each of the prisoners is only to see the hats in front of them but not on themselves or behind. The fourth man behind the screen can't see or be seen by any other prisoner. No communication between the prisoners is allowed.
If any prisoner can figure out and say to the jailer what color hat he has on his head all four prisoners go free. If any prisoner suggests an incorrect answer, all four prisoners are executed.
The Jailer thinks he is being cunning and puts the hats on as such: The screened prisoner has a blue hat, and from back of the line of 3 to the front the hats go red, blue, red.
However one of the prisoners is a cunning wee fellow and gets him and his mates free; how?
