Odin's Son

Odin's son challenged Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot to a duel. Arthur had not quarrel with him and asked him to withdraw, Odin's son refused and was killed in the duel. Arthur suggested that he felt he had to prove himself. This encounter haunted Arthur, who could still see his face, Arthur said that he looked so scared.

Odin was fuelled by grief over the death of his only son and conspired to have Arthur Pendragon killed by the notorious assassin Myror. When Uther learned of the plot he desired to go to war with Odin. Arthur dissuaded his father from taking action however, on the grounds that he would have similar sentiments if he (Arthur) were killed. He also said they should try to make peace, saying there has been enough bloodshed. (The Once and Future Queen)

Years later, Odin sent an assassin, the Gleeman to assassinate Arthur, disguised as a entertainer in a circus group that had come to Camelot for Arthur's birthday. Although the assassin failed to kill Arthur, he succeeded in mortally wounding Uther who, despite the best efforts, died. (The Wicked Day)
