The crippled Smith is one of the most intelligent of the Theoi, Hephaestus is both the subject of many of the Theoi's cruel jokes, and their greatest creator, giving them many of their wondrous items, save for the three king's mighty Relics. The God is too often the source of many Relics gifted to the children of the Gods, forging the wondrous armor of both Achilles and Aeneas on the behest of their mothers. Though, the similarities in design of the two sets of armor may speak of some lack of interest in designing Aphrodite's Scion something truly wondrous and unique.

When he had grown, and arrived on Olympus after being hurled from the top by Hera, he trapped his mother in a great golden throne, wanting to take revenge on her for abandoning him, demanding that he be given a home on Olympus.
