Odin is a nasty bit of work even by deity standards, and he over-accessorizes. Still, you can’t say he’s not pretty cool. He’d kill you. The title “Mover and Shaker” is a clever(-ish) reference to two of his bazillion names, bynames, aliases, pseudonyms, and off-shore bank accounts. Odin exchanged one of his eyes for wisdom, meaning mostly he’s acutely aware of the inevitable, unpreventable doom that will befall him and all he cares about. Possibly that is the reason he tends to be a bit on the cranky side.

The audio, I thought I could do a decent job of it myself, and I still think I can, but apparently not while being recorded… — Cornelius]
