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 rejected by their mother, thought to be too soft. Instead the brothers joined the side of the Gods during the Gigantonomy.
There is not much surviving scripture written about Prometheus, with him only mentioned in accounts of the Gigantonomy, and nothing thereafter. The only other account is an ancient oral legend that suggests that Prometheus nurtured the development of mortals and gave them fire, this led to him being punished and imprisoned by the Gods. But this story is largely debunked by the religious community.
