GU
Fon Blacksmith God
God of Tools, Workshops and Smiths
The son of Mawu-Lisa, he started off as a humble trowel and was dispatched to Earth to do little odd jobs around the place — filling unsightly craters, fixing leaky oceans, that kind of thing.
The humans were very grateful and he was soon promoted to God of Smiths, Weapons and War. He has probably reached Black and Decker status by now.
