The Hekatonkheires (also known as the Hundred-Handed Ones) are the brothers of the Elder Cyclops and Elder Titans, and have one hundred hands and fifty faces (depicting different emotions). They are classically the children of Gaea and Ouranos. They were the primeval gods of violent storms, Briares particularly of sea storms. Their brothers the Elder Cyclopes were also gods of storms, particularly of lightning. By the Second Olympian War, Briares is the only Hekatonkheire left after his two brothers faded with time. Tyson, the cyclops, saved Briares from his imprisonment in Alcatraz.
