Odin originally had two eyes, but he traded one of them for a drink from the Well of Wisdom, which gave him the knowledge of everything that has happened and will happen. He arms himself with a spear, named Gungnir, that never misses its target when thrown. Odin has several children according to tradition, most notably Thor and Balder. His wife is named Frigg.
The Odin character is seen often in RPG games, particularly his role as the ruler of Asgard in Valkyrie Profile, or as one of the deadliest summon creatures in Final Fantasy titles, where he is usually the summon who has a certain percent chance of causing instant death on enemies.
In Valkyrie Profile, Odin is (much like his mythological position) the ruler of Asgard, something of a Norse Heaven. He believes Ragnarok, the end of days, is drawing near, and sends his Valkyrie, Lenneth, out to the world below (Midgard) to search and obtain souls to help fight off the Ragnarok.
In the Final Fantasy series, he is usually just a summoned creature, having no part in the main storyline. The exception is in Final Fantasy IX, when Queen Brahne summons Odin to destroy, nay, obliterate, Cleyra, wiping it clean off the map.
Odin is the chief god in Norse mythology. He is the god of war, wisdom, and magic. He is also the discoverer of the Norse runes.
