Heimdall, Watchman of Asgard (HAYM-dahl)

Description
Heimdall is a deity in the Norse Pantheon. He is best known as the Watchman of Asgard, who will blow his great horn Gjallahorn to alert the Gods to the beginning of Ragnarok. He is one of the twelve most important gods of Asgard. Heimdall's name is pronounced "HAYM-dahl", with "Heim" rhyming with "name".
Heimdall is a man, seven feet tall, with a great beard. He wears a horned helmet and gleaming white armor. Heimdall is admired by the other gods of Asgard for his charm and wit.
As a deity, Heimdall's powers are great and numerous. He is immune to many effects which harm mortal beings, including old age, disease, death effects, disintegration, paralysis, poison, stunning, transmutation, and planar banishment.
Heimdall has many powers related to his duty as a watchman. He cannot be snuck up on except by a more powerful deity such as Thor or Odin. He can see through illusions and disguises. He can see, hear or sense at a range of 15 miles from himself, any of his followers or holy sites or artifacts, and any location where his name or titles are spoken. He can uniquely extend his senses even further to see or hear up to 30 miles from himself, or to penetrate any magical or physical barrier, including up to 150ft or 1,500ft of smoke or fog. It is said that Heimdall could hear the wool growing upon a sheep.
He is exceptionally strong in battle, especially against Giants and in fighting with the longsword. His strikes are deadly and wound his opponents. He is particularly resistant to magic and physical injury, and can destroy by touch any weapon or item used against him in battle in the past day. He can inspire courage in his allies.
He can change shape to assume another form. He can cast numerous spells, including Aid, Blade Barrier, Calm Emotions, Hold Monster, Power Word Kill, Shield of Law, and Spiritual Weapon. He can create magic weapons, armor, and items which enhance perception, although he cannot create truly legendary items such as Mjolnir.
Heimdall and Loki are mortal enemies. Loki considers Heimdall overly self-righteous; while Heimdall has nothing but contempt for the trickster Loki. Heimdall is fated to slay Loki at Ragnarok. Heimdall will himself die of his wounds shortly afterward. Loki will attempt to stall this by stealing Heimdall's sword, but it will not change his fate.
Heimdall is best known for Gjallahorn, the horn which shall wake all of Asgard for the final battle at Ragnarok. It is so loud that it can be heard even in Midgard and distant Niflheim. Mortals within one mile of the horn when it is blown are stunned for several minutes, and possibly deafened. All Aesir and Vanir automatically hear the horn when it is blown, and only Heimdall is sufficiently skilled to reliably blow the horn correctly. When blown at Ragnarok, it will finally break. It is often kept at the Well of Mimir.
Heimdall wields a legendary sword, called Hofud, whose name means "head". Loki will steal this at Ragnarok. It is a vorpal sword with the ability to slay Frost Giants when wielded by Heimdall himself.
