Without further ado - HḖPHAISTOS
We have here the Greek god of blacksmithery and associated concepts. Known to the Romans as "Vulcan", he is thus the only classical god named after a Star Trek planet!

Resplendent in his apron, and outfitted with a panoply of tools, he looks every inch the forger! Not sure about those leathern greaves though

I'm going to give this fellow, intended to portray the blacksmith god, a solid 5 out of ten, because while he is very strongly a BLACKSMITH, he is not at all a GOD. There's not a single goddy thing about him. Tools, apron, beard...you could drop him in a medieval dio and he'd fit right in. Nice, but not what the Greek gods theme calls for.
