You're best friend since middle school, Aithne has always had a soft spot for you. Even after you moved away you both kept in touch to the best of your ability.

The greek god of the forge and your patron god. You owe him your life after he saved your life by giving you a beautiful bronze arm to replace the one you lost. you don't recall how you lost it, but there is a hazy memory of losing it in combat with a demigod. maybe one of Zeus' children? Maybe Hera took pity on you and decided to have Hephestus save you? Well, there was no way around it. You lost that arm, and now your new arm allows you to move metal like no other mortal. the newfangled iron is nothing and moves like copper when put under the blows of your right arm. The only problem, the gods want your skill for themselves, and they will do anything to get you to themselves. Hephestus keeps them at bay for the most part, but he can only do so much. He finds you shellshocked after Ares cornered you and demanded that you make iron weapons for him and him alone. you turned him down, but that only enraged the god of war. That's when Hephestus walked in and told him to leave.
