Odin

Odin, Chief of the Norse Gods and Ruler of Asgard is a recurring character on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess. He is the Norse equivalent of Zeus. Odin shares his time between Valhalla, home of his Valkyrie and Asgard, home of his Norse (pantheon).

Odin first met Xena after she had returned from Chin and was travelling through the Norselands. She rescued him from eternal torture and in return he made her one of his favoured Valkyries. She was taught the ancient Runes and attempted to harness the great power they held. She was banished from the Valkyrie for abusing her position and forging The Ring, which turned fellow Valkyrie Grinhilda into a vile monster. Xena returned many years later and put things right, making it up to both Grinhilda and Odin.

Odin appeared again when he protected the Golden Apples from Xena. She needed them to restore Ares' and Aphrodite's place at Olympus.

Odin was played by Peter McCauley and Alexander Petersons.
