At a young age, Fenrir was a vain creature. He liked to show off his size and strength, and he took several risks to show the gods how powerful he was. He was also clever. He realized that the gods saw him as an enemy, rather than a friend, and that they would destroy him if they had the chance. Eventually, the gods succeeded in binding Fenrir to a boulder. For eons, Fenrir brooded over the gods’ cruelty and dreamed of revenge. His dark thoughts and solitude drove him mad. He waits to be freed.
