          Hello my fellow gods! It is I Odin, also known as the All-Father, am immortal. To the people of Midgard, whom my son Thor love so much, I look to be in my late 70's. I am broad shouldered and muscular, as is for anyone who spends their time protecting Asgard from ice giants and my (adopted) son Loki would be. I have a long distinguishing white beard and ice giant blue eyes. I often dress magnificently in gold and numerous colors. You will rarely see me without my spear, Gungnir or my gold ring Draupnir.
          My immediate family consists of my wife Frigga and my sons Thor and Balder, (whom Loki killed) to name a few. Frigga is the goddess of marriage and although Thor was not her birthed son, she helped me raise him well. Loki, although never my son, considered himself a brother to Thor. Although the mortals told stories of my son Thor and me, they were inaccurate. I never actually adopted Loki as my son. My father was Bor and my mother was Bestla, the daughter of an ice giant.
          As the god of war but also poetry, I am wise and tactical. I am extremely persistent and I persevere to accomplish any goal I can. I gave up my right eye in order to drink at Mimir’s spring and gain almost infinite wisdom. I am strong and extremely wise.
          My greatest weaknesses originate from my quest to obtain knowledge and to be the greatest god of them all. After all, I have pierced myself with my own spear, hung myself, starved myself, and I gave up my eye for a drink of water from a spring.

  1. I'm sorry, but you seem to be quite mistaken. Which I can totally understand in your senile years, but.... Odin. I never considered myself THOR's brother. If my memory serves me (as it usually does) you and I made a blood pact and called ourselves brothers. Any of this ringing a tiny Asgardian bell?

  3. You think that you drink some alcoholic liquid and you gain infinite wisdom? Don't make me laugh, brother.
