Heimdall is described as being so alert that he requires no sleep at all. He can hear the grass grow and see to the end of the world; he can hear a leaf fall.

Heimdall’s nickname Hallinskíði ("Bent Stick")

Heimdall’s nickname Gullintanni ("Golden-Toothed")

A third name for Heimdall is Vindhlér ("Wind Shelter").

yes.. bored.. got on a tangent that ran accross heimdall on marvel so i looked it up on wiki

I saw this thread and was afraid of what it might have. 
All of these are true....marvel at my might. Well not that bent stick part....

Once I read that Heimdall has a bent stick, I knew this thread was true

Some other things you may wish to know about Heimdall.

He has no fear of death - demonstrated numerous times throughout his career.  And some were quite fun to watch.

He like to demonstrate his spelling ability, which is pretty good for a barb.  He impresses all the hairy barb women by spelling thier name in blood on his chest.  Quite a dashing display around the old bonfire.

All in all, a pretty impressive character

Laugh.  The bent stick refers the the ram’s horn on my helmet.  One of the reasons I fight for the headbutt skill so hard.

Fear of death is for the timid.

and my favorite real quote that applies:
“Rest is for the weak not the weary!”
