Aengus the Young is a beautiful God, and cunning to the end. He is the illegitimate son of The Dagda and Boann, the wife of Nechtan, who was conceived and born in a single day due to The Dagda holding the sun in place for nine months to conceal the pregnancy and birth, preventing the day from ending, and thus meaning Nechtan was not yet home from his task which took a day. To further conceal this, when The Dagda divided his land between his children, Aengus received nothing, prompting him to travel to The Dagda's home at Brú na Bóinne, a place that is believed to be a neolithic site by humanity, and asked if he could have the home for a day and a night, which The Dagda agreed to. But, in Gaelic, there is no indefinite article (what allows one to differentiate between 'a day and a night' and 'day and night'), so Aengus threw his father out of his new home for The Dagda had agreed to give it to him for all time, for all days and all nights.

Aengus' youth would find him exempt from many of the wars the Tuatha have found themselves in over the years, but Aengus partakes anyways. At the Second Battle of Magh Tuireadh, he drove the routed fomori from Ireland along with The Morrigan. Additionally, despite his youth, Aengus fosters the children of others, such as one of the children of Donn, Diarmuid of the Love Spot. Due to these two facts, Aengus is a man in all but stature, for while he is always youthful, he both takes up arms and fosters the children of others.

Like many of the Tuatha, Aengus Og met his death, drowning off the coast of Alba, or Scotland as it is known now. A mystery to be sure. What was Aengus doing by Scotland? Did he drown, or was he drowned?
