Odin- he is a general, but he is known throughout the lands for his wisdom. It is said that Mímisbrunnr- the sacred well of Mímir, located in the roots of Yggdrasil- contains immeasurable wisdom and knowledge of the world. Odin offered his eye to Mímir in exchange for drinking from this well.
[When he speaks, it's soft, hesitant, reciting from memory rather than from a story he knows by heart. Still, he does his best.]
