Who is Gaea?

Origin Gaea emerges from the Dark Void Billions of years ago, Gaea, together with her siblings Set , Chthon and Oshtur were created from the Demiurge the manifestation of life potential of the planet Earth. She and her brother Chthon were among the Gods who inhabited the land masses of the planet while Set dwelt in the seas and Oshtur roamed the skies. When her ravenous brother Set started a frenzy of horrific murders that were soon imitated by the other Elder Gods, Gaea was the only one to remain peaceful and saved herself from degenerating into a demon. In order to protect the innocent life growing on Earth, Gaea called for the Demiurge and mated with it. Their union spawned Atum , the Sun God who would later become the Demogorge. The Demogorge had slain almost all the elder demons of the Earth except for Chthon and Set who managed to escape to other dimensions. Gaea was the only Elder Goddess left, and she infused her life essence with all living creatures that were to come from Earth. Gaea is the creator of the Ebon Rose, a powerful magical artifact not dissimilar to Set's Serpent Crown, Chthon's Darkhold, and Oshtur's Sword of the Bone.
