Vidar's notable mainly in that he's one of the few Norse powers destined to survive Ragnarok. 'Course, some folks'd say he's best known for his unusual (but potent) weapon: his mighty iron shoe. It sounds barmy, but it's true. Any being, no batter how forceful or godlike, is at Vidar's mercy when pinned under his shoe, completely helpless until Vidar chooses to free him.

Good thing, then, that Vidar uses his incredible strength to smite evil. But he doesn't revel in the companionship of combat as some of the other Norse gods do. He stays in his hall, Vidi, and keeps to himself as much as possible. Vidar speaks only when necessary, and even then uses as few words as he can. He doesn't ride on many crusades, but he fights for the Aesir when asked. Generally, the rest of the pantheon allows Vidar his freedom, which gives him time to pursue his favorite hobby - giant slaying.
