Josel
Josel is a very odd deity. His birth was an unfortunate one. A cruel Council leader had decided the Goddess of Beauty was to be his wife and no other. She did not love him, and did not like being forced to be his wife. She loved a different god, a powerful Primordial. She went behind her cruel leader's back and was with her Primordial lover many times, which resulted in her entering the Bearing state. When the newling was born with absolutely no resemblance to the leader, he tore the frightened child away from his mother. He swore up and down that he was going to kill the newling - but at the time such things were outlawed by the Council. So he decided to hide that it ever happened. He threw the newling into a tiny room within the Council Halls, and heavily warded it and barriered it. He intended to come back, when the newling was forgotten, and kill him. He came back to kill the mother and Primordial, only to find that the Primordial had fled with his 'wife' and that his own son had grown disgusted with his cruelty.
His son challenged him, and won. Because the cruel leader refused to back down, the younger god was forced to kill him, as was custom when a challenged leader refused to give up their spot even after defeat.
Josel, meanwhile, was completely and utterly forgotten. Nobody knew he existed - and so nobody came to look for him.
The Primordial and his mother thought he was dead... So for years upon years upon years, he was in that tiny little room, completely alone. He was unable to get up and walk because of wards and barriers; He did not know that one could speak, and so never tried. He only knew darkness and loneliness - but he didn't miss knowing others because he didn't know what it was.
He wasn't found until the New Council formed, and rose to challenge Kraeos and try to destroy him.
He was found by a group of gods who had sensed the room and leapt in there to sneak in and attack with the Element of surprise. While Josel had grown up by this time - he did not have an Element, having absolutely no means of finding one, so his energy was forced to mature without one.
Whether or not he'll be able to have an Element is unknown.
