Odin, often called the Allfather, is the chief of the Norse gods and a complex figure of wisdom, war, magic, and death. As a relentless seeker of knowledge, Odin sacrificed one of his eyes to drink from Mimir's Well, gaining unparalleled insight, and hung himself from Yggdrasil, the World Tree, for nine days to uncover the runes' secrets.
He is the god of poets, sorcerers, warriors, and rulers, embodying both the intellectual and the ferocious. Odin leads the einherjar, chosen warriors who prepare in Valhalla for Ragnarok, the prophesied end of the world.
Odin is often accompanied by his ravens, Huginn (Thought) and Muninn (Memory), who fly across the realms to gather information for him. With his spear Gungnir and his eight-legged horse Sleipnir, Odin traverses the cosmos, balancing his thirst for wisdom with the violent necessity of war.
Worshippers of Odin revere him for his cunning, sacrifice, and unmatched mastery over both life and death.
