Prometheus is the son of Iapetus
& Clymene<(Asia)>,
and the brother of Atlas & Epimetheus.
When the gods revolted against
the titans, Prometheus <l>
sided with the gods since he
correctly deduced the outcome of the struggle.
Prometheus is credited with
making the first man && woman from clay,
and he has made it his task
to help mankind whenever possible.
Prometheus taught humans many
of the civilized arts, including the medicinal
use of plants,
cultivation of grains, and domestication
of wild animals.
Prometheus stole fire
from the sun god and gave it to humankind. (
)
For this affront, Zeus
ordered Prometheus chained to a mountain top where his perpetually-regenerating
liver was torn out afresh each day by a griffon-vulture.
Zeus repented after 30 years
and allowed Heracles to free Prometheus.
After he was freed, Prometheus
was invited to Olympus to join the gods.
<>
Prometheus can create any mortal
creature from clay in 2 melee rounds.
This creature will serve him
until it dies, though Prometheus usually sets it
free after a specific service.
In return for extraorindary service by one of
his clerics, Prometheus may
reward the cleric with a companion creature
suitable to the cleric's level
of experience.

Prometheus is the only titan
worshiped as a god.
As a token of his punishment,
Zeus
ordered Prometheus to wear a ring made from his chains.
Prometheus' clerics also wear
an iron ring set with a chip of stone
supposedly from the mountain
where Prometheus was chained.
Prometheus expects his clerics
to be self-reliant, but not self-centered.
Trickery & cunning are fair
weapons
but only if the end serves the human
race as a whole. Prometheus
will side with faithful clerics against any force,
even the most powerful god,
but he takes a dim view of clerics
calling upon him unless they
have absolutely no chance of survival otherwise.
The clerics of Prometheus will
take any available opportunity to kill a
griffon. They will also do all
in their power to prevent humans from attacking
any titan, and will actually
side with Atlas || Epimetheus
if they see
either titan under attack.
