Odin

Odin is the All-Father, the most important and powerful of the Norse Gods. He is the father of all of the Lothbrok children: Alvis, Rollo, Ragnar, Floki, and Torstein. He is a chosen God by the Parent Gods. He helps Ragnar throughout much of the story, however, ceases his engagements with him after the death of Athelstan, which was really on the command of the Parent Gods. He appears a final time whilst Ragnar is being transported to King Aelle for his execution, and the last time when Ragnar is dying in the snake pit. 
== Appearance and Character ==
Odin has an old, but handsome face. His hair is now gray, but he always has long braided hair, similar to Ragnar's, and his beard is big, bushy, and braided with golden jewelry. He has been missing an eye ever since he traded it for knowledge with a sorcerer, or so the stories say. The eye-patch and made of Aesir metal and gold. He wields a large spear, Gungnir, made by the dwarf brothers, Sindri and Brok. It is made of Aesir wood and metal, with magic spells bounded onto it. Odin wears fancy furs and colors. He is 7 feet and 4 inches, making him the tallest character we have seen in the series yet, although Ragnar does recall that Zbiniew the Prince Killer may have been even larger.
