Uranus, one of the children of Gaea, is also the father of some of her mightiest offspring: the Titans. But Uranus was a cruel lover, and only the Titans, the most favored of his children, received any sort of special treatment. The others - the monsters called Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheires - were locked away on Carceri because Uranus hated to look upon their visages.

Little did he know that his dislike for these children would lead directly to his overthrow at the hands of Cronus and the other Titans. During the battle, the blood of Uranus fell on Gaea and fertilized her yet again, giving birth to the Furies, the Gigantes, and, chant is, Aphrodite herself.

Critically wounded, Uranus fled to the farthest reaches of the multiverse. Some say he died there, unable to heal the injuries dealt by his oldest son, and thus became one of the first dead gods floating on the Astral. However, search as they might, no one has yet hound his body on the silver void. That's led to some fearful speculation among the Titans and Olympians both that one day Uranus'll return, bringing with him an array that none will be able to withstand.
