Zeus is the King of the Gods and Ruler of Olympus

**Zeus** is the Thunder God, king of the Greek Gods, ruler of Olympus, and one of the narrating characters for *Immortals: Fenyx Rising*.

## Appearance

Zeus appears an older man with a long white beard and hair. Like most gods, his skin appears speckled with gold dust resembling stars. Zeus wears a white toga which goes over his right shoulder and is tied at the waist, along with gold bands around his forearms and wrists.

He is of strong build but has some padding around his stomach, having admitted he's not as fit as he used to be.

## Personality

He is narcissistic and prideful, as shown when talking with Prometheus, adding sarcastic remarks and often interrupting with his unflattering commentary.

Overtime however, watching Fenyx's journey and listening to his sons and daughters talk about him (Zeus) within the story, Zeus slowly but surely comes to realize what an awful father and person he is and swears to be better, especially after he learns that Fenyx is his child.

Although he proudly and happily welcomes Fenyx to Olympos, he still wants for Fenyx to prove their worthiness to join the pantheon. But when Fenyx makes it to Zeus' own trial, he pettily strikes Fenyx with lightning, arrogantly declares Fenyx has failed, which earns him the disapproval and outrage of his children who speak on Fenyx's behalf. He caves and lets Fenyx try again and after Fenyx is successful Zeus is more graceful in his challenge being overcome while proudly noting the unity he saw in his children when they stood up to him on Fenyx's behalf and so declares Unity will be what Fenyx will personify in the pantheon.

This shows that while Zeus is working towards being better than he was before, he still has a ways to go but he *is* working towards it.

## History

Zeus was the sixth-born child of Kronos and Rhea. To spare him from being eaten alongside his siblings, Rhea hid Zeus away and fed Kronos a stone swaddled in cloth.

As an adult, Zeus and Metis tricked Kronos into spewing up the other gods and eventually cast the Titans into Tartaros before taking the throne of Olympus.

Following the Titanomachy, Gaia and Tartaros produced the monstrous Typhon to overthrow Zeus. causing the gods to retreat to Egyot for a time. Typhon was later trapped under Mount Etna.
