Notes: 

-- A minor forest God. 

-- Father of Leanne and pain in Leverett’s ass. 

-- None of the Gods really like Ogden, though he can be very popular with mortals so long as he keeps his mouth shut. 

-- Despite being considered a minor God, he and Kiel are some of the only forest Gods left due to the others meeting very... violent and untimely ends. 

-- Has a nasty habit of trapping mortals in his woods to watch them struggle for survival and eventually die for amusement. 

-- Also uses it as a chance to sleep with beautiful women, as was the case with Leverett, and generally ignore the consequences. 

-- He is responsible for the ascension of Leverett and Leanne, because he wanted Leanne to become a Goddess and stay with him, but the child refused to become anything without her mother. 

-- His favor of Leanne faded as a result, and despite tensions with them, he is still very possessive of Leanne and her mother.
