## History

Odin is the chieftain of the Aesir. Born out of an affair between King Borr and Laufey of Jotunheim. Odin would defend Asgard and the Nine Realms alongside his brothers for centuries upon centuries. During this time he sired many sons, with each having a great destiny to come.

Odin was known for his almost obsessive need for knowledge, this quest took him all over the Nine Realms and cost him countless parts of himself. After Borr died in battle against the invading forces of Muspelheim, Odin took the throne alongside his beloved wife Frigga and would rule for generations.

Odin has two ravens, Huginn and Muninn that fly around the Nine Realms gathering and bringing information back to him. He also two wolves, Geri and Freki that accompany him. His symbol is a Valknut.
