Hephaestus (LastationLover)

Hephaestus (ヘパエスツス Hepaesutusu) is a mysterious man that appears before Jason LaHote and the Guild Akatsuki. He is set to debut in Fairy Tail: Dawn.

Appearance
Hephaestus is by far the physically (and chronologically) oldest person shown in the series so far. He bears the appearance of a 'traditional' elderly man in fantasy settings, with brown eyes, a very long white beard, tied with purple bands, and long eyebrows. There are many scars on his torso and head, the two most prominent being a pair of long, perpendicular scars above his right eye, suggesting numerous battles in his past. Despite his age and appearance, Hephaestus is actually quite muscular, and this comes into play when he fights bare handed in battle. Hephaestus' attire is an outfit that consists of a shitagi, kosode, hakama, tabi and warajii. Over all of this, he wears a large haori draped over his shoulders.
