Also known as the All Father, Odin is one of the Æsir tribe of Gods that resides in Asgard. He is the son of Bor and the Jötun Bestla. He is married to the Goddess Frigga and his sons are: Baldr, Thor, Hödr, Vídarr, and Váli. Also Hermódr might be his son.
With Frigga he sired the twins Baldr and Hödr. With the Jötunns Gríor and Rindr he had Vídarr and Váli. His eldest son, Thor was born from Jörd.
Odin is often accompanied by his ravens Huginn and Muninn as well as the wolves Freki and Geri. His most defining feature is of him is that he has no right eye. Due to him sacrificing it in order to gain more knowledge from the Well of Uror. In battle he rides on the eight legged horse Sleipnir and uses the spear Gungnir which was crafted for him by the Dwarves known as the Sons of Ivaldi and it never misses it's target.

Also known as the All Mother, Frigga or Frigg is the wife of Odin and mother or Baldr and Hödr. Due to there not being many surviving forms of literature regarding Frigga here's what I learned.
She's the Goddess or fate, fertility, childbirth, and guider of domestic arts and cottage works especially the spinning of wool. Also, she's the goddess or marriage that is sanctioned by society as unsanctioned forms of marriage are under the guidance of Freyr and Gerda. She's also a Seidr or Norse practitioner of magic. She often spends time in the misty and dense lands of Fensalir when Odin is away on another quest for knowledge. She's also the only one other than Odin that's allowed to sit on his throne Hlidskjálf to look at the Nine Realms.
Her attendants are: the Goddess of Healing Eir (the doctor or the Gods), Hlín the Goddess of Protection, Gná a messenger Goddess, and Fulla a fertility Goddess. It is unknown if they are aspects of Frigga or separate people.
