Vidar is a figure in Norse mythology, described as the silent god and almost as mighty as Thor. He will survive Ragnarök, the unavoidable and dramatic end of the world according to the prophecy that chief-god Odin extracts from a seeress, yet not without avenging his father first, Odin himself, by slaying Fenrir, the wolf who swallows him.
