## Biography

During the time of the Eternal Imperium, Odyn's name was Omozul, he was a General of the Eternal Imperium but escaped into the rift with several of his compatriots when Nekrataaz attacked. They wandered the many universes connected to the rift in many forms until eventually, they found their way to a world that existed akin to their ancient universe.

They found all the people of the universe enslaved by the Oors'Yor and the Uul'Yar, seeking to liberate all the species, Odyn ordered the Voidstriders to attack the enslavers and the war lasted for millennia. The Voidstriders were however able to release the slaves who revolted against their overlords and fought along with Odyn's army. While the Voidstrider were eventually successful in dispersing the empire. They lost many voidstriders and after delivering the people back to their homes, retreated into the other universes connected to the Ithskjall.

Omozul re-emerged just before the Imperial Civil war in 17k319 IA and bore witness to the Sorcerer King's last great miracle, when he granted a new youth and an extended lifespan to all beings across Kaniros. As Kyrenaz transcended, Odyn put in place rules for beings such as him, such as never interfering with the affairs of mortal beings.

Odyn walked with Kyrenaz for several weeks before returning home. Some time after the Imperial Civil War and the Witch Blight Crisis, Odyn met Kyrenaz again, and he learned of the continued existence of Egregius Ultimus through one of his many clones. Recalling him from the Eternal Imperium, Odyn called all the remaining voidstriders back to his home and sealed the way between The universe of Kaniros and that of the Voidstriders. The Voidstriders has not been seen since.

## Personality and Traits

Odyn is a very arrogant individual and quite contemplative, he has a mind for Poetry and Battle as he led the remaining Voidstriders in battle against the Uul'Yar and Oors'Yor during the Age of Darkness,

## Powers and Abilities

Odyn like all voidstriders has essentially infinite knowledge, but is not omniscient. He can tap into all the knowledge in the universe and understand it. He can change his form into whatever he wishes, and affect objects with his mind. Like any ascended being he can remain completely invisible and still influence the minds of others, control natural forces, teleport infinite distances and even warp reality.

He can cause another species to evolve and warp the senses of another as well as speak into their minds, his ascended powers allows him to kill, heal or even resurrect a mortal being. His offensive abilities include shaping his form into destructive beams or orbs of energy, that destroy anything he comes in contact with, alternatively he can generate lightning, fire and wind.

Despite his great powers, neither him nor any of his kin are true gods.

## Equipment

Odyn wields a golden spear cloaked in a similar energy as that which makes up his body, it is believed to have been carved from the Ithskjall. It is engraved with various ancient and worn symbols. The real powers of the spear are unknown, but it is magical in nature.

## Trivia

As the voidstriders became too akin to gods, Their author decided it was best to just seal them off.
