Ogun is a god from the Yoruba people in Nigeria. He was called the God of Iron, having been the first god to show people the use of iron. In Yoruba mythology, the gods descended on the earth from a spider's web from the heavens. When they arrived, they wound up in a forest where they created the first people on earth. However, the humans needed more space but the tools they had on hand were made from a soft metal that couldn't do much. That was when Ogun received the secrets of iron from the son of the supreme god, Olorun. Using the wisdom he acquired, Ogun made an iron axe and chopped up the trees to create space for the humans. He then divulged the wisdom he gained with all the humans and gods that were on the earth.
Personality wise, Ogun is described to be a very fierce god with an abundance of energy, due to his status as a warrior. Although people usually look up to his power, an enraged Ogun will turn his power on the people he watches over.
