the group's vehicles and is the god of fire, smithing, and craftsmanship. His workshop is filled with various mechanical devices and explosives for the heroes' usage. He is also lame with his right leg being somewhat shorter than the left, although he has special boots that solve the problem. Odie studies with him as well as with Hermes, though Hephaestus and Odie clash over the superiority of modern technology versus ancient magical innovation. Hera (voiced by Patricia Drake) – Jay's mentor and the queen of the gods. She is a stern, regal and elderly woman with a commanding presence, and acts as principal of Olympus High.
