Fictional Character Biography
He is the half-brother of Thor and foster brother of Loki. Vidar was a huntsman when he was younger, but became a farmer and warrior, living in a valley in the Asgardian Mountains.
Alongside Thor, Vidar sought vengeance for the murder of his wife Solveig by Storm giants. In this task he was assisted by Thor and Hoder. Armed with Thor's power, Vidar later fought as Asgard's champion against an alliance of the Storm Giants and Frost Giants.
During Ragnarök, Vidar was slain in battle with trolls, who had invaded his lands at Loki's command; when Thor found Vidar's body, he had Vidar's farms set ablaze to serve as his funeral pyre.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.”
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
“The best part of a writer’s biography is not the record of his adventures but the story of his style.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
