Hephaestus

Hephaestus is the god of metal-workers, fire, and smiths, and his symbol is the axe. When he was only a baby, Zeus threw Hephaestus out of Olympus (although he says it was really Hera). He is Aphrodite's husband (lucky guy) and is depicted as ugly and crippled because of his injuries. He could make anything out of metal!
