Occupation Norse god
Episode(s) 5.19 Hammer Of The Gods

Odin is one of the Gods who meets to try to work out a way to stop the Apocalypse. He is of a laid back disposition towards the whole thing, believing it to be a "slap fight between a couple of angels". He believes the real Apocalypse to be when the Midgard Serpent Jörmungandr rises up, and Odin himself will be consumed by a big wolf.

He was evidently incorrect about his own demise, as Lucifer killed him in the hotel hallway.


Odin in Lore

Odin is considered the chief god in Norse mythology and the ruler of Asgard. His name is related to ōðr, meaning "fury, excitation," besides "mind," or "poetry." His role, like many of the Norse gods, is complex. He is considered a principal member of the Æsir (Norse Pantheon) and is associated with wisdom, war, battle, and death, and also magic, poetry, prophecy, victory, and the hunt.
