Description
"Odin is considered the chief god in Norse paganism and the ruler of Asgard. Homologous with the Anglo-Saxon Wōden and the Old High German Wotan."
"Odin (Wotan) has a number of magical artifacts associated with him: ... a magical gold ring (Draupnir), from which every ninth night eight new rings appear"
"His role, like many of the Norse gods, is complex. He is considered a principal member of the Aesir (Norse Pantheon) and is associated with wisdom, war, battle, and death, and also magic, poetry, prophecy, victory, and the hunt."
"On the mountaintop, Wotan and Loge force Alberich to exchange his wealth for his freedom. They untie his right hand, and he uses the ring to summon his Nibelung slaves, who bring the hoard of gold. After the gold has been delivered, he asks for the return of the Tarnhelm, but Loge says that it is part of his ransom. Finally, Wotan demands the ring. Alberich refuses, but Wotan seizes it from his finger and puts it on his own. Alberich is crushed by his loss, and before he leaves he lays a curse on the ring: until it returns to him, whoever does not possess it will desire it, and whoever possesses it will live in anxiety and will eventually be killed and robbed of it by its next owner."

A bit of a more untraditional rendering (He used to wield a spear in the original stories - Tyr was the master swordsman among the Aesir), I see you chose to focuss on the war god aspect here (which is not all un-appropiate for the whole ring ransom story), allthought it feels like the greek influence is strong with this one.
Although I suppose you were going for a wagnerian interpretation in the first place. Retelling and reinterpretation is simply part og hoe myth works, after all.
