Hephaestus is the god of technology, blacksmiths, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, metals, metallurgy, fire and volcanoes. In both the series canon and the actual mythology, Hera cast him out of Olympus and banished him to Earth. He would later return to Olympus in defiance of his exile, though he seems to still prefer spending time at his cave.

He comes off as being a bit goofy, and typically very cheerful and friendly. He is not one to be trifled with, though, as he has shown quite a few times how powerful and rather frightening he can be when he's angry.
