Baal

"You're parents are cowards, hiding behind mortal heroes, I at least have the guts to do my own dirty work."

- Baal Baal is the Canaanite god of fertility, weather, rain, wind, lightning, seasons, and war. He is the king of Zaphon (home of the Canaanite gods), the second son of El and Asherah, and is husband to Anat, Tanit, and Astarte.

Baal has been an enemy of Olympus since Alexander the Great, a son of Zeus, conquered Canaan. This grudge intensified during the Punic Wars. In particular he bears a grudge against Jupiter/Zeus.

To avenge Carthage, Baal supported Kronos during the Second Titan War and Gaea during the Second Giant War.

Origins
Baal was the second-born son of El and Asherah, the original king and queen of the Canaanite gods. El and Asherah had 69 other sons and 70 daughters.

Betrayal of Yahweh
The youngest of the Elohim, Yahweh, made a covenant with a human named Abram, promising Abram that he and his children would inherit Israel but in exchange he and his descendants would worship  Yahweh alone.

Baal was outraged by this and exiled Yahweh from Zapahon, but Yahweh would have the last laugh.

Personality
Baal is very proud and commanding; to the point of being sanctimonious, condescending, and narcissistic. He's also incredibly bitter and his ego seems as fragile as it is large.

Baal secretly feels like a failure and like nothing he's ever accomplished has meant anything. This frustration fuels his rage.

Powers and Abilities
As one of the big three sons of El, Baal has the ultimate power a Canaanite god can possess, and is rivaled only by his brothers Yam and Mavet (and later Yahweh). He possesses the physical and magical superiority inherent in all gods, though to a much greater degree due to his status as one of the oldest Elohim.
