Odin
Chief of the Norse gods, associated with wisdom, war, poetry, and magic. Odin sacrificed his eye for wisdom and hung himself on Yggdrasil for nine days to gain knowledge of runes. His relentless pursuit of knowledge, even at great cost, represents the seeker willing to sacrifice for enlightenment. Odin's ravens Huginn and Muninn (Thought and Memory) gather information across the worlds. He embodies sovereignty, shamanic wisdom, and the price of knowledge.
