Heimdall
The god of light, the son of nine mothers. He was born at the end of the world and raised by the force of the earth, seawater and the blood of a boar. Because of his shining, golden teeth he is also called Gullintani ("gold tooth"). His hall is Himinbjorg, The Cliffs of Heaven, and his horse is Gulltop. Heimdall's symbol is the horn he carries, Gjall.

He is the watchman of the gods and guards Bifrost. It is Heimdall's duty to prevent the giants from forcing their way into Asgard. He requires less sleep than a bird and can see a hundred miles around him. His hearing is so accurate that no sound escapes him: he can even hear the grass, or the wool on a sheep's back, grow.
