Odin's name is related to óðr, meaning "excitation," "fury" or "poetry," and his role, like many of the Norse pantheon, is complex: he is god of wisdom, war, battle and death. He is also attested as being a god of magic, poetry, prophecy, victory, and the hunt.
The Norse did not view their gods as "good" or "evil", but rather as teachers and testers.

Odin is the King of the Gods to the Norse. The poor Druids probably didn't know who he was.

Odin is a Norse God. Most likely those in Britian only ever heard of him in battle.
Most pagan gods are not good OR evil. In Paganism, there is a balance.

Odin was still acknowledged as a God there. Odin is considered a war God, he is a grey character niether good nor evil. He is the God of WInter.

Odin is Norse... but if they did he is one of the many gods of the Norse religion. unlike most of the gods/goddesses he chooses his followers. he is good.

Wasn't he the father of Thor, the thunder god, in the Nordic legends of the Vikings?? They all lived in Valhalla I think...
