Sueños rotos, esperanzas, las decisiones que podrían haber cambiado una vida; todo conduce a él. Camina entre los mortales a plena vista esperando ser encontrado, pero realmente verlo no es tan sencillo detras de los nombres y los cientos de años. Si sabes a dónde mirar y qué buscar él te recompensará con un camino que seguir. Al dios de los caminos le gusta intervenir solo cuando ya estás cerca de su encrucijada.

Otto's older brothers; Ludwig plays the Hobbyhorse and Peter plays the Fool in this concept art for Moth volume 5. The May Day festival used to be very important in England and Germany, many of the traditions such as the dance of the Fool and the Hobbyhorse were carried on by young men in towns and villages for thousands of years only for the traditions to end during WWi, due to the amount of young men that were killed. In some German and English towns the dance survived or has been renewed. Similar characters to the Fool and Hobbyhorse appear in French, Polish and Scandinavian cultures, but this illustration is mostly based on the Anglo-Saxon tradition. The Odinkirks are canonically of Saxon decent and are implied to have reintroduced the dance to their village, which is situated in Pomerania. May Day was celebrated all across Europe but in Germany and England in some places the horse dance had either faded or evolved; even before WWi the Christian church suppressed the dance as it originated from an ancient horse-cult; as a result it survives in the more Saxon regions today and many English and German people haven't heard of the dance of the Fool and the Horse.
