He was known as a great drinker of Soma; sometimes he did this to draw strength, and when he did he grew to gigantic proportions to battle his enemies, but more often than not he drank to get drunk.

Hard but fair, he was. During times of drought he would give the people rain but if they failed to pay the appropriate tribute, he'd give them another drought.

That's Indra, the hardest and coolest god in godland.
