Prometheus?

Prometheus. An obscure, but simultaneously well-known figure who is responsible for the Greek race of humanity.

He has a special affection for them, going as far as to sneak to earth and gift them with fire against Zeus' wishes.

For this, he was punished and had his innards eaten by a bird every day for years.

A deity willing to show such care for the weak and feeble humanity wasn't always popular with the other gods, but they were always highly respected.

And Prometheus was still a titan. While he wasn't necessarily the strongest, he was definitely more powerful than most gods.

Perhaps his only real potential threat would be Zeus, and there were ways to keep the overgrown man-baby in check if worst came to worst.

Lailah was pleased with this choice indeed.

But what would the man who was actually nominated have to say?

Heads swiveled in one direction in droves.
