Altheus is a former god who's punished to become a human mortal. The reason why is because he was planning to eradicate humanity as he sees them impure and evil creatures. He hates humans more than anything. His punishment is temporary however, if he learns the true beauty of humanity, then he will regain his godhood. But Altheus doesn't know about this so he thinks he's forever cursed to be something he despises, a human. He is very cynical and hates how he has human limitations on body
