Fictional character biography

Mimir was a child of Buri and uncle of Odin. He was a former opponent of Odin whom Odin transformed into a fiery being. He now dwells in the Well of Wisdom in Asgard. Odin sacrificed his right eye to Mimir for the wisdom to forestall Ragarok.[1] Mimir is a virtually omniscient being with precognitive abilities.

Thor travels to Hildstalf, to seek out the wisdom of the Well of Mimir.[2]

Mimir was apparently slain in the destruction of Asgard at the hands of Thor.
