He also had many famous and powerful weapons that never missed their marks, and his legendary horse that was born from Loki, named Svadilfari. He also had 2 wolves and 2 ravens that served him greatly. He died at Ragnarok, knowing it was his destiny, and was regonized as a true warrior.
Freya- The Goddess of fertility and war, was once part of the Vanir. Had a husband by the name of Od, but he died and she was said to have cried golden tears for him. She owns very precious items, just like Odin, and it is also said to be that Od was actually Odin.
Frey- Freya's twin brother, he is the God of fertility and the weather. He also ruled over the land of the Light Elves, Alfheim. The ship Skidbladnir belonged to him, which could sail in the land, air, or sea, and was big enough to handle every god's presence on it, but could be folded up and be put into a pocket.

Hel- Hel was the daughter of Loki, and ruled the realm Niflheim (the underworld).
Thor- The god of thunder and the member of the Aesir. Was a widely worshipped god, for he was the image of the comman man. He was also the biggest enemy to the Giants.
Tyr- The one handed god of war. His right hand was bitten off from Fenris. The day of the week "Tuesday" is named after him, so even though he was looked at as being "evil", he must have been very important, also.
