The answer to the question Who is Lord Shiva is Lord Shiva has a very unique and significant position in the cosmic manifestation. In fact, Lord Shiva is the most powerful second only to Lord Vishnu. Shiva is an expansion of Lord Krishna. Revealed scriptures explain that Krishna has 64 qualities. Lord Brahma posses 78% of these qualities and Lord Shiva possesses 84% of these qualities. Since living entities are also like Brahma so they also possess 78% of these qualities but in a lesser extent. None of them possesses all 100 %.
The living being can never possess attributes like Shiva Vishnu or Lord Krishna. A living being can become godly by developing 78% transcendental attributes in fullness, but he can never become a god-like Shiva, Vishnu or Krishna. He can become Brahma in due course:-Shrimad Bhagvatam (1.3.28)
Lord Shiva has a connection with the material nature but Lord Vishnu or Lord Krishna is transcendental to material nature. The position of Lord Shiva is very beautiful explained in Brahma Samhita (verse 45), "Just as milk is transformed into curd by the action of acids but yet the effect curd is neither same as, nor different from, its cause, viz..., milk, so I adore the primaeval Lord Govinda of whom the state of Shambhu is a transformation for the performance of the work of destruction.
