Rainfrei (Odin)

## Rainfrei Bardas Woden

"Never stray from what has been written: 'I should be loyal to the nightmare of my choice.'"

## Initial Steps to Legacy

Rainfrei's origins are shrouded in mystery, however, the most known story is that his family has laid claim over the Aspect of Odin for several generations and it is through his willpower that the Moirai Empire is such a military powerhouse currently.

'Generational' Returning--the act of an Aspect being made manifest time and time again--is almost never heard of outside of House Woden. There are few other examples of such in history books. And none can explain *why* the family can so effortlessly lay dominance over the powers of Odin.

In Rainfrei's case, he was chosen the next Aspect quite some time ago. In fact, he is older than the Moirai Empire by a considerable gap of time.

## Founder of the Moirai Empire

Rainfrei, who prefers to be called Odin, is the direct founding father of the Moirai Empire. It was by his hand and determination that the young empire sprung to life and flourished.

A nightmare for some and the harbinger of a golden age for others, Odin was tactful in his conquest as well as his alignment with the Empyrean. He was also quite deliberate in his usage of the Moirai Order and nurtured their powers to make the name of Moirai widespread and revered.

## The Herald of Uriel

What the majority of the known scholarly community, or even the Celestial Church, do not know is that the Aspect of Odin did not originate from the Celestial Moirai like the rest of the Order. This truth hidden and obscured for hundreds upon hundreds of years by House Woden themselves. And they have gone to great lengths to rewrite history as well as maintain this new 'truth' that Odin is part of the Moirai Order--stooping even to killing for this secret.

Odin is the creation of the Celestial Uriel, the Throne of Judgment, in a vie of vengeance against the Celestial Moirai for her supposed 'betrayal' of Uriel. This fiery ambition a core piece of all House Woden members through each generation, one by one building upon the foundations in order to ultimately bring ruin to the Moirai Knights.

Now, Rainfrei is next in line. He has utilized this mission to hold command over the Moirai, to build an entire empire, and eventually through it: reign supreme over Gaia, and, make the Knights merely pawns in his repertoire of might. Fulfilling the final wishes of his true creator.

## Personality & Traits

At his core, Odin is cold, calculating, and typically sees others as pieces on a chessboard for him to use. Outwardly he can be quite charismatic and easily garners respect amongst peers. An air of royalty easily found in his cadence and mannerisms.

He has a very specific purpose and clear goal in mind for his ultimate legacy on Gaia. In some ways, this is a blind spot for him that could be taken advantage of if one were to discover this.

## Misc. Information

* Odin is not part of the Moirai Order directly, nor was the Aspect initially created by the Celestial known as Moirai. This is a secret almost none know, and if they do happen across this knowledge, Odin is quick to silence them. He has carefully erased that piece of history from archives and Empyrean tomes through the ages.
* There are few who were personally chosen to go through the Debt of Fate by Odin, through his direct intervention. Those few include Ananke, Lachesis, Camulus, and Atropos.
