The God of breath, and all wind, is an incredibly powerful God. Holding sway over the first breath a squalling infant takes as it is born, and the final breath of a wizened elder, Vayu holds the balance of life in his hands. Like the wind he lords over, Vayu is almost chaotic, taking actions that seem to have no reason, and even driving the other Yazata to anger against the wind God, but they know that he is a necessary force in the universe, and allow him to continue his ways.

Vayu was decided to be the most necessary of the Gods after a long contest by the Gods. They took a mortal, and each withheld their gift from him, the mortal growing blind, dumb, cravenly, and thirsty. But, when Vayu rose to take his gift away, the gift of breath, the human was unable to live, and for that he Gods decided that he must be the most necessary. In one of his strange moods, Vayu then whipped the winds around the Gods, and began to steal their own breath, showing them that he was not only necessary for humanity, but the Gods too.
