background

Odin is the god of wisdom, death, war, knowledge, and magic in Norse mythology. He is the husband of Frigg and king of Asgard as the father of the gods and the principal deity. He possessed objects such as his spear called Gungnir and his eight-legged horse Sleipnir, with which he went hunting, both gifts from the god Loki. He lives in Valhalla, a great palace located in Asgard where half the souls of those fallen in battle go, guided by the Valkyries; the other half went to Freyja's palace. After killing the giant Ymir with his brothers Vili and Vé, he created Midgard, the world of men (the home of humans). It is considered a giant tree called Yggdrasil, created from the remains of the giant's body, such as his bones, blood, sweat, teeth, etc. This realm connects to all others through Yggdrasil. Odin, in his quest for knowledge, goes to the roots of the Yggdrasil tree where the giant Ymir, the guardian of the sources of wisdom, resides. He makes a deal with Ymir: in exchange for his left eye, he can drink from the well of wisdom, thus obtaining infinite knowledge. In the same place, he visits the Norns to see the Runes. Here, he sacrifices himself by piercing himself with his spear and hanging himself, remaining thus for nine days and nine nights without food, learning their secrets. He was the one who gave the poets the mead so they could rhyme well. Deceiving his brother Suttung by infiltrating his farm and seducing his daughter to allow him, Odin obtains the mead, first drinking it all at once and then escaping with it in the form of an eagle, spilling it on the ground.

powers and abilities

Divine Physiology: The gods are extremely strong, fast, and resilient, far surpassing any mortal or beast, capable of feats beyond human logic. High knowledge: Odin is a very wise and intelligent god; he knows a great deal about the world and even the future. Equestrianism: Odin is good at riding horses; this is obvious since he always rides Sleipnir. Master of magic: Odin is an extremely powerful and skilled sorcerer, a master of many magical arts, which is highly likely given his status as the god of magic. Superhuman strength: As the strongest god, the king of Asgard, and the father of all, and as seen at the beginning of his DLH (presumably referring to a specific work), Odin possesses incredible strength. Furthermore, considering that he slew Ymir, the first and strongest ice giant, his power is undeniable. Master combatant: As king of the Aesir and the god of war, Odin is an extremely strong and skilled fighter with centuries of training and battle experience. Even in his younger years, he was able to slay Ymir along with his brothers Vili and Ve. Mastery of the spear: Odin was extremely skilled with his spear, this is obvious due to his years of battle. Transformation: Odin, like most gods, has the ability to transform into different things, such as a bird, as seen in his dlh. Levitation: At the end of their meditation, Odin is seen floating next to the Rabbit. Immortality: The gods are immortal to the passage of time and disease, although they can still be killed, as will happen to Odin in Ragnarok when he is devoured by Fenrir.
