Odglass (オドグラス) is the Sacred Beast, one of the Four Great Spirits. She is known as the mother of Gusteko and the Benevolent Mother of the Gustekan Church.
Appearance[]
Odglass is said to have the appearance of a large, white bear.[1]
Personality[]
Odglass is a spirit who, unlike most other spirits, interferes with the way of the world by watching over the human populace in the Holy Kingdom of Gusteko, where she resides, with affection and benevolence from her abode, the Sacred Mountain Paradochia.[2][3] She is a powerful great spirit who has scores of spirits and lesser spirits under her control, which she uses to help humans live in the permafrost-covered nation.[4]
History[]
When the Holy Kingdom of Gusteko was founded, Odglass exchanged a contract with a spiritual arts user who followed her, bestowed the title of Holy King onto them, and from then on, she was involved in choosing successive Holy Kings, who were selected out of the citizens regardless of their bloodline or origin.[5] This process created an established and long relationship with Odglass and Gusteko, as the tradition to select the Holy King is something she has held from the beginning of the country’s history. Because of this, she is heralded as the Gustekan Church’s Benevolent Mother.[6]

Great Power: As one of the Four Great Spirits, Odglass has tremendous power that puts her on a similar level to others of her kind.

- ↑ At the founding of the Holy Kingdom of Gusteko, Odglass bestowed the name Holy King and exchanged a contract with a spiritual arts user who followed her, and since then she has always been involved in choosing the Holy King, who is the head of the nation. The Holy King who leads the Holy Kingdom of Gusteko is determined, regardless of bloodline or origin, by being chosen by the Sacred Beast Odglass from one selected out of the citizens to lead the next generation.

- ↑ Due to this, Odglass and the Holy Kingdom of Gusteko had a long and profound friendship. The authority to decide the head of the Holy Kingdom and the Church, the Holy King, had been delegated to Odglass, and this tradition had been passed down from the beginning of the history of the Holy Kingdom of Gusteko. That format was unbreakable. Odglass had always been, and would always be, the Benevolent Mother of the Church. Red Snowfall on the Orcos Domain Part 1, Section 3.
