Character

Hephaestus is a secret and passionate being, able to easily change the opinion of others, he can also be persuasive. Although he is both emotive and active, he can also be obstinate and serious, even to the point of being annoying. Hephaestus has great self-confidence, he should be careful not to be over-confident. He knows how to use himself, his inner world and others to achieve his objectives, but he is also able to sacrifice everything for a just cause. If this morality inhibits Hephaestus's freedom of action, then he is able to put it aside. He hates to be "bound" by prohibitions or principles and therefore he is suspicious about certain beliefs. A wink of the eye, a smirk: Hephaestus has his prey. This is because Hephaestus is a sleuth with strong intuition and a clear sensitivity.

Emotivity

Hephaestus's emotions are not always healthy; sometimes he is far more affected by pain, or another person's inferiority, than ultimately concerned for those around him. A formidable reactivity characterises Hephaestus, he is very intelligent and efficient, but his ulterior motives may disturb those around him and become troublesome.

Activity

Hephaestus hides a strong will under an apparent calm, but despite himself it is still visible from uncontrollable outbursts. This is the dominant aspect of his character, as Hephaestus only truly finds fulfilment in action, and his whole being is placed at its service. Hephaestus self-imposes a tremendous project; he seeks to study what others do not know. His health is good, despite uninhibited dietary habits, Hephaestus is able to move himself if necessary, and even get others moving. He has, in all cases, a need for sleep and fresh air but also some "aggressive" sports to release his energy. Hephaestus is not very sociable but is not troubled by such concerns. His morality and occasional questionable attitudes that lead him to abuse are not unrelated. He is able to implement plans of which the effects will be seen only over the long term, but Hephaestus still gets impressive results.

Intellect

With his rather superficial intelligence, we often tend to underestimate him because Hephaestus is far more a man of shadows than someone who likes to be exposed, even if he is a leader.

Affection

This is a point on which Hephaestus is quite disconcerting, as it is difficult to understand how and who he loves. He does however experience occasional bursts of passion.

Sensoriality

Hephaestus has a real need to possess everything that surrounds him, his conquest of the world, and therefore he works on people and things. His sexuality is problematic as Hephaestus doesn't know how to wait, and doesn't want to, his desires are far more instinct than love.
