Hmmm.... I was under the impression the Odin was always a part of the Aesir,

Champion of Mankind, Lord of Metalworking and all handicrafts, of common sense,
of defense for the homeland, of earthquakes and seastorms.... pretty much a
catch-all god for everything the other gods didn't have.... he was also notably
the most popular of Norse deities...
