Vulcan
Mid, Support
“Smith of the Gods” — Vulcan is a Roman Mid / Support in Smite 2.
“Vulcan, master smith of the Roman gods, shapes divine weapons and chariots in the heat of his forge. Cast from Olympus by his own mother, Juno, Vulcan’s craft embodies the fire of resilience and the steel of revenge. His followers—blacksmiths, warriors, and those shaped by hardship—see in him the power to rise from ruin. Despite his skill, bitterness drives him, his forge’s flame fueled as much by resentment as by artistry. Now, as war beckons, Vulcan’s hammer falls, each blow a testament to strength born from scorn and tempered by the fires of his past.” Vulcan, master smith of the Roman gods, shapes divine weapons and chariots in the heat of his forge.

Lore
When the Gods of Rome ride chariots across the sky, it is Vulcan that made them. When they reach for weapons to wield in battle, it is Vulcan that forged them. When the very earth rumbles and mountains erupt in searing flame, it is Vulcan’s rage that burns. Smith of the Gods, Vulcan crafts with fire and forge as an artist would with paint and brush. As an infant, so hideous was Vulcan that his disgusted mother, Juno, cast him into the sea from the heights of Mount Olympus. So great was the fall, it smashed one of Vulcan’s legs, a wound from which he would never recover. Beneath the waves, a sea nymph, Thetis, rescued the child-god and raised him as her own. As Vulcan grew, he ventured to the surface and discovered fire and the art of smithing. His natural talents emerged and he forged wondrous jewels for his adopted mother. Summoned to a gala on Mount Olympus, Thetis wore Vulcan’s glittering gifts, but when Juno discovered Vulcan had made them, she jealously demanded he return to Mount Olympus. Angrily, Vulcan refused. In his stead, he sent a magnificent throne of gold and gems that imprisoned Juno when she sat upon it. For three days Juno was so entombed, and would have remained so had not Jupiter, Vulcan’s father, interjected. To Vulcan he offered an exchange, Juno’s freedom for the hand of Venus, the most beautiful Goddess of Love. Vulcan agreed. Though his vengeance was served cold, the fire of spite still burns in Vulcan’s chest. Unable to truly forgive, he loses himself at the forge. None of the wondrous chariots, jewelry or weapons he crafts can ever fill the hurt in his heart, but each one is worthy of a God.
