Odin, the Allfather, is the King of Norse Gods associated with war, battle, victory, and death, but also wisdom, poetry, and magic. Wielder of the spear Gungnir, which is said to be so well balanced that it could strike any target, no matter the skill or strength of the wielder. He is accompanied by his Birds of Wisdom, Huginn_and_Muninn, who flies across Midgard (Earth) to bring Odin information. I wanted to depict Odin with a more savage/warrior-like appearence, to emphasize on his title as the God of War in particular. Horns and black metal just seems more badass than feathered helms and chainmail.
