Prometheus - Titan of Fire
Prometheus is the Titan of Fire and Forethought. He is said to have been a wise and cunning Giant, able to anticipate things before they happened.
Prometheus was also associated with the fire of creation, in contrast to Hyperion's all consuming fire. He is said to have been able craft marvellous things out of fire and clay, because of this he is often confused for Hephaestus.
Prometheus was the first creation of his mother Gaia as part of her plot to usurp the Gods. He was created to one day usurp control over the Elemental Plane of Fire from its current ruler Hyperion. But that never came to be as Prometheus and his two brothers, Atlas and Epimetheus, were defeated by the Gods during Gigantonomy, and imprisoned away.
One ancient oral legend tells that Prometheus was responsible for giving humans fire, and helped nurture the development of humanity. The story concludes with Prometheus being punished by the Gods for their actions. The origin of this legend is unknown, and is largely believed to be factitious as it conflicts with the recorded histories of the Theogony.
