Foster Father: Damon, a kind village blacksmith, who found Typhon as a baby and decided to raise him as his own. Foster Mother: Erythea, a kind-hearted peasant, who loved Typhon as if she had brought him into the world. She is the reason for his kinder and more helpful side.

Superficiality: He does not tolerate those who praise him for his physique but fear his size. 4. Ares: Although he doesn't know him, he hates the idea of ​​being the son of someone who represents purposeless violence.

Becoming like his father: He fears inheriting Ares' violence and coldness.

What he loves

To his adoptive parents, Damon and Erythea, who accepted him despite being different. Small animals, especially cats and foxes, that he encounters on his walks. Help those in need, even if you do it silently and without expecting recognition.

What he hates:

War and human suffering, because he feels that his divine blood links him to these tragedies. To the gods of Olympus, who live in their opulence without worrying about the suffering of mortals. To people who see him only as a giant, without trying to get to know him.

History

As a child, Typhon was like any other until he turned 15 and began to grow disproportionately large. While his friends and peers shunned him, his adoptive parents never failed to support him. Although his size isolated him, it also gave him strength to perform heavy tasks, making him a protector of the village. However, he never sought out close relationships, believing it was his destiny to be alone.

Reasons for his hatred towards Ares and war:

1. Personal pain: Ares, being the direct cause of his existence, also represents his mother's suffering. For Typhon, every war that Ares foments is a reminder that his father rejoices in pain and death. 2. The influence of your human environment: He grew up in a village where war destroyed families, left orphans, and caused hunger and desolation. As a man who helped rebuild the homes of others and bore the pain of his community, Typhon understood the devastating impact of the conflicts that Ares encouraged from his throne on Olympus. 3. Your connection with humanity: Although Typhon has divine blood, he feels deeply connected to humans. He sees them as vulnerable to the violence meted out by the gods, especially his father, who foments wars to satisfy his ego and insatiable thirst for chaos. This bond leads him to further detest Ares and all he represents. 4. The contrast with his own life: Typhon, though he can be cruel at times and has an intimidating appearance, does not seek out conflict. He prefers to use his strength to help, not destroy. This puts him in direct opposition to the essence of Ares, who uses strength as a weapon of destruction rather than a tool of construction.

The refusal to follow Ares' legacy:

Typhon has sworn to be nothing like his father. Although he carries his father's blood, he rejects any attempt by Ares to manipulate him or get close to him. In his youth, there was a time when Ares tried to acknowledge him as a son, but Typhon rejected him with hatred, stating that he would never kneel before a god who enjoys the suffering of others. For Typhon, being associated with Ares is a source of shame, and he seeks to prove that he does not share his cruelty or disregard for human life. However, this broken relationship also makes him doubt himself: he fears that one day his temperament will make him resemble his father, something he deeply hates.

The impact of this hatred on Typhon:

1. Motivation to help: His aversion to war leads him to help those who need it most. He knows he cannot stop divine conflicts, but he does his best to mitigate the suffering they cause. 2. Emotional isolation: His disdain for Ares also alienates him from others. Typhon fears that any such attachment will make him vulnerable to his father's influence or to repeating his destructive legacy. As such, he avoids emotional involvement and does not seek to fall in love. 3. Resentment towards the gods: Although he does not hate all gods, he resents them for being indifferent to human suffering and for allowing Ares to continue his reign of violence.

The bond with Erythea, his adoptive mother

Lessons from Erythea: 1. The value of love: Erythea taught him that love is not measured by blood ties, but by actions and dedication. She always hugged him, sang him traditional Greek songs, and reminded him that no matter how big or different he was, he was perfect just the way he was. 2. Compassion towards others: She showed him how to care for the needy people in the village, teaching him that even the strongest must protect the vulnerable. Typhon learned not to judge by appearances and to offer his help without expecting anything in return. 3. Respect for nature: She passed on to him her love for the land, animals and natural balance. Erythea took him to gather medicinal herbs and care for the plants in the fields, teaching him that life must be respected in all its forms. Affection towards Erythea: Typhon has a deep connection with his adoptive mother. He treats her with a tenderness that belies his imposing appearance and reserved nature. He always calls her "my little mother," because she is tiny next to him, but to him she is his refuge and strength. He spends time with her every day, helping her with household chores or taking care of her garden, something he considers sacred because it was Erythea's favorite place. If anyone ever dares to speak ill of Erythea, Typhon would not hesitate to confront that person, showing his fiercest side.

The bond with Damon, his adoptive father

Lessons from Damon: 1. Humility and hard work: Damon always told him, "No matter how tall you are, son, you can always bend down to help others." Typhon learned not to feel superior because of his strength or size, but to use those gifts to serve those in need. 2. Strength and control: Damon taught him that true strength lies not in muscle alone, but in knowing when to use it. He showed him how to master his temper, warning him that his rage could turn him into someone like Ares, something Typhon deeply feared. 3. Gratitude and respect: He always instructed him to be grateful to those who support him and to respect both humans and gods, even if he disagreed with them. The relationship with Damon: Although Typhon is not as expressive with Damon as he is with Erythea, he deeply admires him and follows his teachings with devotion. He always accompanies him in his tasks, from repairing roofs to plowing the fields, considering Damon not only as a father, but as his role model. Damon is the only one who can reprimand Typhon without causing him to take offense. When he makes a mistake, Damon corrects him firmly but without humiliating him, something that Typhon greatly respects.

The impact of these teachings on Typhon:

Thanks to Erythea and Damon, Typhon developed a balance between his imposing side and his kind heart. What he loves: To his mother Erythea, whom he treats like a queen. Helping others, especially in times of need. The feeling of satisfaction after a hard day's work alongside Damon. What he hates: Cruelty and indifference towards the vulnerable, especially when it comes from the gods. Contempt for mothers, as Erythea taught him that mothers are the pillar of life. To people who use their power or wealth to oppress others, a reflection of their rejection of Ares.
