A more serious answer: He didn't originate from any one single point. There's good reason to suggest that he's a mixture of Odin and St. Nicholas. Mostly Odin?

There is some admixture from Thor as well.

I fixed the thread title. I assume it is not about a clause in some legal contract, or part of a sentence.
