Mr. Wednesday
Posted in fictional, norse on April 16, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Mr. Wednesday is one of the main characters from American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. He is (spoiler alert) an American incarnation of the Norse god, Odin, who was brought to the new world a thousand years ago by Viking settlers. Due to the “poor growing ground for gods” that is this continent, he has evolved to survive solely as a drifter and a con man. He is described as dressing in a light gray suit with a tie pin of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, and he seems to eat a lot of rare steaks (a nod to his connection to wolves). Also, he wears a glass eye.

During the rectification of the Vuldronaii, the traveler came as a large and moving Torb. Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the meketrex supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Sloar. Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was the be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day, I can tell you.
