Personal history

Name given by Purphoros: Tamahagane (meaning: precious steel)
Name used in most other situations: Hagan “Gan” Ferroe.
Origin story:
Purphoros, the god of fire, forges, and the restless earth, is known for his many legendary creations. From weaponry and armor to gigantic structures and mountains, everything he touches becomes mythical. In his early days Purphoros created many creatures, most of them beings of fire and bronze. All of them strong and beautiful in many different ways, but affected by rain and heat. The forge god had always wondered what would happen if he created the perfect humanlike creature from his perspective.
Years went by and Purphoros had researched the many nyxborn created by fellow brethren and sistren. “They were all lacking something… they were all flawed…” said the incarnation of the forge. And thus Purphoros enclosed himself in his private forge for 7 days and 7 nights until he would finish the perfect creature.
The final hit of hammer on anvil echoed through the smithy when ember and brimstone came to life and a small creature rose from the ashes of the hearth.
“Finally..Perfection..” Muttered Purphoros while picking up the small being, admiring his latest creation. However, much to Purphoros dismay the creature opened its eyes and started to cry much like the mortals in the realm below.
For the first time since the dawn of creation Purphoros did not know what to do. Was there a flaw in his design? Did he wrong the decrees of Klothys? “D-Did I fail to create what I set out to make..” Purphoros asked himself while thinking back on his original designs.
“I-I must fix it..” Purphoros told himself, while walking towards the anvil.
“I must remak-'' The small creature grabbed Purphoros’ beard and started to smile.
Purphoros was shocked, not a singular creature, besides other gods, had ever been able to touch him without blistering into cinders. The stubborn god was shocked and did not know what to do. Out of pure confusion Purphoros put the small creature down near the fire and looked at it as it wriggled around.“It is just like a mortal” he laughed awkwardly, as he walked towards a nearby shelf.“It lives so it must live,but.. I can't keep this not when petros might find it.” The god thought to himself.He took a small pot from the shelf and opened it. A warm glow entered the room as small embers flew around the fingers of the god. “M-My apologies young one,I cannot keep you here as my brethren would find the imperfections of my craft.” Purphoros muttered to the creature as he bestowed him with the ember-like powder.
“However, as you live and breathe I will not leave you to die alone.” The god whispered in an ethereal like voice. The room began to vibrate as the small embers entered the small creature's body. It's eyes, arms, and legs began glowing a deep and dark orange. The creature whimpered as the unknown magic tore through it's skin, leaving behind a mark on its chest.
“My mark will keep you safe” Said the god in an unusually soft tone. “I hope it might serve you well, young one..” “..You need a name don’t you.. Very well I will grant you one.. Lets see.. Hmm.. ah! Yes, you will be ʥoβ ˈaɪɥʉʘ (Tamahagane) but mortals will call you Hagan Ferroe” Purphoros proclaimed while deep in thought. “I hope you survive young tamahagane, Farewell.”
 
People still speak of a small child found near the forges of Mt. Velus(or Vesios) with skin as dark as the ashes of the hearth. If you’re lucky you might find him near the forges of Akros as that is where he currently resides.
