I'd love to know if Odin's work at Chicken Pizza, where he created two different Ways, was a result of his own power or perhaps a special trait of Gungnir...maybe a twisty tie in with the bifrost either way?

I don't remember Odin working at a pizza place, was that in one of the sort stories? ;-)

I really want to know more about Odin in general... He's obviously a big player in a lot of places, and the mythology about him is so multifacted and damned interesting.
I have this pet theory that he has a secret identity of a mortal wizard on the council, possibly someone we've met before. But I have nothing to back that up but a hunch.

Presumably the Gatekeeper due to the eye thing?

Well, possibly. Though I feel like if Odin was secretly a part of the council, he wouldn't be on the senior council. The guy's so busy already, he wouldn't have time for all of that, honestly.
I have always found the Odiny parallels that Rashid and Harry have displayed rather interesting though. Harry also has a bad scar over one eye that almost resulted in him losing it... and in Summer Knight, Rashid finds Harry having hung himself from a tree accidentally. Something about that always seemed symbolically important to me, but I've never been able to really figure out how.

Chalk it up to competency. Rashid seems to be the most 'clued in' on the Council as to what is really out there right? Other than Dresden. And Odin hung himself on the tree for knowledge. So for Rashid to stumble upon Harry up in a tree, full of fresh knowledge on the whole plot in Summer Knight btw, does indeed seem to show that symbolism.

In addition to what u/-EG- said, Rashid and Odin are both in Harry's camp, so to speak. They're both wiser, more experienced individuals who are willing to share what they know with Harry without charging anything for it. They're kind of "secondary mentors" in a way.

Do you mean Odin is pretending to be mortal on the Council? I'm entirely of the opinion that actual gods don't have mantles. They can take on a mantle, but Odin is just Odin.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I mean, Odin is basically the Ur-wizard in mythology. Gandalf is based on him for goodness sake. I feel like if anybody would want to keep an eye on what the mortal wizards are up to, it would be him.

Why would she not know? She has been observing Humanity since ever. We spent a good chunk of time eating or making food. So... Besides, maybe she likes it.

"Can you tell us about how Harry and Michael first met and their first case together?"
I've given it so much thought and that's the question I would ask.
