Story[edit]
Before Kingdom Hearts Dark Road[edit]
Vidar trains as a Keyblade wielder in Scala ad Caelum under Master Odin alongside Vala, Vali, Heimdall, Helgi, Sigrun, and Hoder, whom he becomes good friends with. In preparation for his Mark of Mastery exam, Vidar and his classmates travel to other worlds to observe the world order in them. They encounter strife in each world due to the conflicting views of their residents.
In Enchanted Dominion, Vidar and his classmates learn that Aurora has been cursed by Maleficent, and debate whether they should interfere. While the group rests for the night, Hoder sneaks away, and the remaining classmates decide to split up to search for her. Vidar, Vala, and Vali decide to go together, with the other three leaving first. However, Vidar and his friends are too late, and learn that Hoder, Heimdall, Helgi, and Sigrun have been killed, and swear revenge.
After Vidar discovers that Hoder's younger brother Baldr has been taken by darkness and is the one responsible for killing her and Vidar's other classmates, Vidar speaks to Odin to learn how to destroy the threat. Odin tells Vidar about true darkness and explains that its vessel must be sacrificed in order to defeat it. Vidar refuses this option, as he cannot bring himself to harm Hoder's brother. Odin offers an alternative: summoning Kingdom Hearts by collecting seven true lights and purging the worlds, although he forbids Vidar from doing this.
Together, Vidar, Vala, and Vali decide to ignore Odin's order and summon Kingdom Hearts. The three of them visit other worlds to find the items essential to the worlds' orders, as upsetting this balance and causing the worlds to descend into chaos may bring out the seven lights.
Kingdom Hearts Dark Road[edit]
Vidar visits Dwarf Woodlands, where he finds the lower classmen Xehanort, Eraqus, and Vor talking to the Magic Mirror. Vidar is distrustful of Xehanort, but invites Vor to come with him and help him with his plan. Eraqus attempts to convince Vidar to return home, but he refuses. Vor agrees to accompany Vidar, and the two depart. The two later visit Agrabah where they encounter the other lower classmen. Vidar explains his plan to them and bids Eraqus to take up their quest, before departing his Vor once again.
Despite initially being willing to risk everything by summoning Kingdom Hearts, Vidar and the others eventually decide against it. Vidar and Vor return to Scala ad Caelum with Vala and Vali. While Vor leaves to talk to Odin, Vidar, Vala, and Vali encounter Xehanort and Eraqus. Vidar admits to being aware of Baldr's plans, which enrages Eraqus and causes him to attack Vidar. Vidar, Vala, and Vali fight Eraqus and Xehanort, until Xehanort convinces Eraqus to stop. Baldr arrives, surrounded by darkness, and taunts the group. Left with no other choice, Vidar prepares to fight him, but Baldr instead warps away to find Vor, summoning Heartless to stall the group.
After dispatching the Heartless, Vidar, Vala, and Vali rush after Baldr, and encounter him in the tower with Vor. They fight Baldr, but, just as Eraqus and Xehanort arrive, Baldr summons the Hringhorn which quickly kills Vala, Vali, and Vidar. With his final words, Vidar apologizes and passes on his mission to Xehanort.
Design[edit]
Vidar is a dark-skinned youth with hazel eyes and short, swept-back brown hair. Like his classmates, there is a traditional Japanese influence in his style of dress. He wears a dusty blue coat with gold trim which evokes the style of a samurai's kamishimo, with short sleeves that are curved out over the shoulders. Around his waist is a black obi, with a long yellow sash wrapped around it and tied off at the left side. Underneath, he wears a high-collared black shirt and baggy black pants stuffed into tall black boots with pointed tops and gold trim. A white Terra's Mark charm is attached to a silver chain hanging at his waist. He wears long, fingerless black gloves, with his right glove being shorter and having two bands above it on his arm, and his left glove having a buckle, criss-crossed gold chain, and darker cuffs, and overlaying white bandages.
Víðarr is a deity in Norse mythology, known for seeking vengeance for his father's death.
Abilities[edit]
Like his classmates, Vidar wields the Keyblade.
