Brief Description:

"Mover of the earth and barren sea, god of the deep who is also lord of Helicon and wide Aegae. A tamer of horses and a savior of ships." - The Theogony, Chpater 8, verse 2. By Hesiod, scholar, 278-343 of the Iron Age.

Enki, called Pontus, is the element of water, ruler of the seas and of the deeps, birthed of the Creator's will for life; For without water, there can be no life.

Enki's form is that of a young, bearded Wizard, wearing a white robe and carrying a longsword on his back. He is usually friendly and helpful, quick to forgive and forget, and is very direct with mortals. He's not quick to anger, and his wrath is not as powerful as one would expect, especially for a god. Yet at the same time, as all divines and mortals, he is capable of horrendous acts of hate, spite and retribution.

Pontus's aim is to grow, live, and love. He has (or plans to have, or simply will have) a large family, and an even larger following, although he does not usually inspire fanaticism, or even love or admiration. His followers include maritime cities and empires, with people who respect and/or fear him for his powers spread across the world and planes. His children, whether by another divinity or mortal, include giants, cyclops, nymphs, sorcerer-kings and queens, heroes and river gods, along with all sorts of monstrosities of legend.
