Heimdall, portrayed by Idris Elba in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is a crucial Asgardian character. He is the all-seeing, all-hearing gatekeeper of the Bifrost, the rainbow bridge connecting Asgard to other realms. His primary duty is to guard Asgard from potential threats.

Possessing enhanced senses far beyond human comprehension, Heimdall could perceive events happening across vast distances. This ability made him an indispensable asset to Asgard's security, constantly vigilant against incursions and invasions.

He was fiercely loyal to Asgard and its royal family, particularly Odin and Thor. Heimdall often defied direct orders when he believed it was in the best interest of Asgard, demonstrating a strong moral compass and a willingness to act according to his own judgment.

Heimdall met his demise at the hands of Thanos at the beginning of *Avengers: Infinity War* after using his powers to send Hulk to Earth, effectively warning the Avengers about the impending danger.
