Odin, Guy in Robe, etc, a deeper meaning?

Has anyone found deeper meaning in a non-religious sense for the appearances?

I started tracking my position and his when he appeared. Put 2 markers of your preference with a M1 and O1. Sequence these up (M2, O2) M for me and O for Odin or rather his direction from you. When he appears make sure you are facing him. Open map and put M on your location and then put O along the direction your pointing.
After doing this for a bit, although its hard to tell for sure, I wonder if he appears in the direction of the next boss alter. There seemed to be some consistency in areas but since I don't know where the next boss alter and there are multiple boss alters still kinda hard to tell.

This. He checks in to see on your progress

If you have seen him, you either did something good, bad, or it was so weird that he had to check up on you.

I remember when I really was slow playing the game, I never saw him. Once I started making moves and defeating bosses, I saw him

Sometimes I just target practice on him. Aim for the good eye.

Check your config, Odin appears near the border of visual limit. If that option is not at max you could never see him

In my opinion the deeper meaning is: "watch out or you are dead soon"

I think the probability of Odins occurrence increases when certain things are triggered. eg: rested bonus runs out, food runs out, wet and close to a mountain (= drake oneshot) , far away from a base etc.

He's a micro-manager; he's checking up to make sure you're staying in lockstep with his plan and haven't gone off the reservation or native.

i think this tends to turn into another conspiracy theory
odin just checks what one is up to - nothing more

Tis odd, I find sometimes when I'm running around at night he continues to keep spawning in front me in basically the same direction

I doubt there is more to it than RNG, but once he starts appearing in my current world (where I need to find the Elder), I'll be in a position to analyse his appearances as I came across a Bonemass altar yesterday.

It's an interesting theory, for sure.
