Oghma looks like an aged, white-haired man. <find new image>
He is the best wrestler of all the gods and considered their champion when fights with giants occur.
He is also patron of things creative and beautiful in man and woman alike.
His love of song, story, and poetry causes him to often visit the earth in
human shape and travel from hold to hold seeking especially gifted people.
There is a 1% chance that he is listening to an original composition when it is sung, and there is a 5% chance that if a song or tale was spread by others he would hear it and reward the creator with great wealth in the form of gold "strangely" given by the lord of the particular hold that person was visiting and performing at.

His two main powers are the ability to answer any question after a short period of study (the more difficult the question, the longer it takes) and  the fact that he knows the secret name of any non-godlike creature.
In Celtic mythology, everything has a name it gives to the world, and another secret name that links it to its soul.
If any being knows the secret name, he or she can control the creature or being or simply make them die (save vs. death applicable).

In battle he wears +4 chainmail and demands that all his enemies wrestle (grapple) with him.
If they win, he leaves the battle.
If he wins, they are forced to leave the battle.
His strength is such that when facing any being, he will have equal to that being's strength plus his own.

Oghma is known as The Binder for his ability to successfully force demons && devils into a special prison of his making where they stay imprisoned until he wishes to bring them out.
