Othinus

Othinus (オティヌス) is a character introduced in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index. He is the current God of Magic and is a true member of GREMLIN, and its leader.

Etymology
His name, Othinus, is the Latin name for Odin, the Norse god of war, wisdom, magic and poetry, among other things, which is also the alternative reading of his name.

Appearance
He is referred to as One-Eyed Othinus, which would mean he is similar to the Othinus of legend, losing an eye in order for him to drink from the Well of Wisdom.

Background
The first implication of Othinus existence in the series is when Ollerus uses the queer magic, Hliðskjálf, upon Sogiita Gunha. This magic of course, is named after the high seat of Odin, which allows him to see into all realms. In the Gesta Danorum, Odin was exiled and Ollerus was chosen to take his place. This can be presumed why Ollerus currently has the Hliðskjálf.

Othinus would later attain the legendary title of Majin from Ollerus, which Ollerus proclaims to have been stolen from him, making him one of the most powerful beings in the Toaru Majutsu no Index storyline.
