Acantha

“We contemplated our existence. We beheld the stars and the earth in all its mystery and beauty, until mankind came along. Reduced to cartakers, stewards of mankind and their meaningless and benign squalor."
God of the Snake. Protector of the ground beneath the earth. Represents Renewal, Cleverness, Cunning, and regeneration. Acantha is prone to being vengeful, bitter, selfish, resentful, and easily threatened. Skilled at deception. 
Why does Acantha hate humans?
Acantha develops a deep resentment of man that festers into hatred as the ages pass. Acantha prefers life before humans during the age where the gods had expelled the dragon and enjoyed the peace of the beautiful world. Acantha had the most lush, beautiful and fertile place on earth as his domain, his garden. When the first humans wandered into this place, Acantha had a mind to expel them but was stopped by Rai. As the ages past and mankind began to multiply, they built their first city in its center as they were dependent on its natural bounties. As a result of this, Acantha built a new home underground known as Abaddon . Acantha noted the human tendency to multiply endlessly, they propagated without ceasing and in a sense conquered much of the world. He saw their appetite for advancement as admirable in some sense but thought the vast majority of them unworthy to continue. Acantha found some humans he was fond of and thought it best to pick out those worthy. 
Some details present in The Council of the Gods on the affairs of man 
Acantha during Eoragidd
Acantha was at the peak of his power during Eoragidd. He sought to elevate himself through the godhood, overthrow the elder gods and control the physical realm. At that time, the age of the animal gods was waning. Their time had passed and they were ready to leave the earth to man, but Acantha refused. He saw himself as needed, as deserved. He refused to accept his fate and become like the elder gods, quiet and subtle. He envisioned the world being inherited by the far superior Ephilim, with him ruling over them all. Unlike the animal gods, man had no domain, he wandered and consumed what he would.
