The God War, both in the aspect of the single, bloody minded warrior, and the distant planning general, Ogun is one of the generals of the Orisha, for Shango couldn't possibly allow anyone to surpass himself in rank at any time. Save for Eshu, as always. He taught humanity how to work metal, and receives blood sacrifices from them to ensure he continues to allow his harsh, but ultimately fair, justice touch their land.

Ogun has tried many times to live a calm life and have a family, though each time something goes wrong. He once attempted to marry the Goddess Yemanja, though they both broke their oaths to each other, for Ogun to never touch her breasts, for she only had one and it embarrassed her, and for Yemanja to never speak of his bloody eyes. The Goddess created to be his wife, Olure, had no interest in him and attempted to leave, though she was stopped by a great tree in her path. She asked Ogun to chop it down, which he did, though a splinter entered her vagina and caused her great pain and she asked Ogun to remove it, which he did with his machete after she agreed to be his wife, though it left great scars. When he attempted to have a child with her, the sperm did not leave his penis quickly enough to impregnate her, so he cut off the end of his genitals, and in this misadventure, invented circumcision for both genders.
