- — Odin reassuring Alis
Odin (Japanese: タイロン), named Tyron in the Japanese version, is a playable character in Phantasy Star.

Characteristics[]
Odin in Generation 1
Appearance[]
Odin is a legendary warrior that wears traditional fighting equipment. He has a sheet of plate mail on his chest with gauntlets and arm guards over a brown body suit. Depending on the depiction, he either wears silver boots or shoes with the ends that appear to be sandals.
His blonde hair is either cut short in a military style, or slicked forward in a way that resembles a faux hawk.
Personality[]
Since the original classics did not have much dialogue from the main characters themselves, Odin's personality is not completely revealed. From the few lines he speaks, he is a very matter-of-fact individual with an honorable spirit that has earned him his legendary status with the people of Palma.
Unfortunately, Odin became overconfident at one point and placed himself in a bad situation that tore his party apart. Upon confronting the medusa, he was taken by surprise and turned to stone. This lead to his companion, Myau, to hesitantly abandon him in a cave in order to seek help for the both of them.
