Here's a Vidar's backstory, I took some liberties but feel free to change anything you like Valdi 
Vidar and Valdi were raised by their Uncle Snorri, a Skald, who taught them about war, magic, and legendary heroes. They are half brothers, and have different mothers, who claim that their father was the pirate captain Vila Dobos. Vidar's mother was a tough Ulfen woman with green eyes and fiery red hair. The family legend tells of a brave woman who, long ago, wrested the heart of a great dragon. Their love burned the world around them and when the dragon turned to ash a child was born. He grew to be a courageous warrior, undefeated in battle and sired many sons. Such stories were told by his mother, Frega.
Vidar spent his young years at the side of his mother helping with household chores, farming, and tending animals. Even at a young age he enjoyed exploring the mountains and woods of his homeland. At the age of 8 he was given to his Uncle Snorri to be raised like an Ulfen man and met his older brother Vladi for the first time. They bickered, they fought, they wrestled, and they grew close. Vidar had the upper hand in raw strength, but Valdi was perceptive and wise beyond his years. Together they grew to be strong and capable warriors, their shield wall could not be broken. Vidar followed the path of his own instincts and Valdi the path of the gods, for he was gifted with the power of the seers. Vidar learned to hunt and trap, which he preferred over other skills that he considered too boring. In the wild he could test his strength and cunning.
One day, after a night of drinking, they decided to venture to Brevoy to find their father and to carve the runes of their names into legend.
