Valdar was a Nord warrior who resided within Valthume in ancient times. When the tyrannical Dragon Priest Hevnoraak died, Valdar swore to ensure that the lich never rose from his grave. That oath persisted for countless generations, beyond Valdar's own death.

In 4E 201, the Last Dragonborn entered Valthume and encountered the spirit of Valdar, whose strength was fading. The warrior would not be able to keep Hevnoraak at bay much longer, and asked the Dragonborn to bring him Hevnoraak's vessels so they could weaken the lich before he awoke. The Dragonborn collected the vessels and emptied them, preventing Hevnoraak from reawakening at full power as he'd hoped. The pair performed a ritual to awaken Hevnoraak in a weakened state, and the Hero defeated the Dragon Priest. With Hevnoraak vanquished, Valdar's duty was no longer necessary, and his spirit was finally able to rest.
