The Norse god Odin, also referred to as Oden, Wotan, Woden, Odhinn and many other names, is the all father of Norse mythology. He is the leader of all of the Norse gods, and the father of Thor. Odin can see into the future thanks to two crows that sit on his shoulders. The crows are named "thought" and "memory", and with their help he knows that the gods are doomed to die at the end of the world, also known as 'Ragnarok'. Even though he knows the gods are destined to lose, Odin initiates the creation of Val Hala, where all the viking warriors go when they die to prepare for the final battle at Ragnarok. There are many more stories about Odin, try looking him up on a site called encyclopediamythica.
