Cú Chulainn

Cú Chulainn was the child of the sun god of Irish mythology. He was a demigod, the offspring of a mortal woman, Deichtine, the younger sister of King Conchobar mac Nessa, and the deity, Lugh, the god who governed over the sun and a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the gods of Irish mythology. Deichtine, the daughter of a druid, Conchobar's father, and Maga, the widow of Ross the Red, disappeared in the Land of the Young without marrying anyone. There, she bore Sétanta, Cú Chulainn original name. Receiving great divinity from his father, who possessed every skill such as knowledge, techniques, and magic, he exhibited superior talent from birth and boasted supernatural ability that separated him from ordinary people from a young age. The land was split into five countries, and he was sent with his uncle, Fergus mac Róich, to King Conchobar's army under the Northern kingdom of Ulster. He was to have a life that would follow the destiny to "one day become a shield of Ulster." He took up the name Cú Chulainn after accidentally killing the guard dog protecting the house of master blacksmith Culann. When Cú was sixteen, he fell in love with a princess named Emer, but she didn't feel the same about him. Despite his superior abilities, Cú wasn't a famous warrior and would set out to seek fame. Cú would then seek out Scáthach, a powerful warrior queen who trained many warriors. Scáthach would then train Cú how to fight with a spear and how to use runes as a supportive method in a fight. During his training Scáthach sister would invade and would eventually defeat her. Cù took a liking to Scáthach sister and even asked her to have his child. Before leaving, Scáthach would gift Cù her spear Gáe Bolg. Years later, Cú would go to war against Queen Medb, although he fought his best, Cù would be mortality wounded. Rather than falling, Cú would chain himself to a bolder and die while standing and laughing at Medb army.
