Ragnarok

A page depicting Fenris who topples Odin from his horse.

Ragnarök is the name of the event which foretold the end of days in Norse mythology. It foretold the death of the old Norse deities including Odin, whose death was to occur at the hands of the wolf Fenrir.

Season 9

A cult known as The Maw of Fenris saw Ragnarök as a plan of action to wipe out humanity, leaving only werewolves to inherit the Earth. They worshipped Fenris as a god and wanted to rule the earth. The cult was eradicated by the efforts of Reverend Jim Myers. But unknown to him, his wife Joy restarted the cult after her brother was killed by a hunter. She believed, along with her father, that as long as man lived, he would only destroy. She wanted the werewolves to rule them and for that, planned to convert the reverend to her cause. She kidnapped Garth and Bess and was going to kill them and pin their murders on the brothers. This would finally turn the werewolf community against the humans. But she was killed by Dean who put a stop to their plans.
