Oðinn

Oðinn is a major god in Norse mythology, widely revered. He is associated with wisdom, war, death, poetry, and magic. Oðinn is often depicted as an old man with a long beard, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a cloak. He is considered the Allfather, the leader of the Æsir, and resides in the hall Valhalla in Asgard.

His pursuit of knowledge is legendary. He sacrificed one of his eyes to Mímir's well to gain profound wisdom and hung himself from the world tree Yggdrasil for nine days and nights to learn the secrets of the runes. Oðinn also possesses two ravens, Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory), who fly around the world and report back to him, and two wolves, Geri and Freki.

In battle, Oðinn is a fearsome warrior, often leading his einherjar, the souls of fallen warriors, from Valhalla. He is also the god of poetry and inspiration, with the mead of poetry said to grant eloquence and wisdom to those who drink it. His magic is potent, and he is known for his shapeshifting abilities. Oðinn's eventual fate is to fight alongside the gods against the giants and other forces of chaos during Ragnarök, the twilight of the gods, where he is prophesied to be killed by the wolf Fenrir.
