Odium is a deity of some sorts, and probably is evil. His name is first spoken about in a vision Kaladin has. He later asks Syl if she had heard the name, and she hisses and flies off, the name obviously distressing her.

In a vision given to Dalinar Kholin, it is revealed that Odium had killed the Almighty, although his means for doing so are extremely unclear.
