Who is Kirby Hero?

Origin Kirby hails from a large family that seems to all be members of the Greco/Roman pantheon. It is unclear whether they are avatars, like himself, or whether they are the actual gods. It would be unusual within the world of Mage for people to be avatars of gods: all the other avatars are reincarnations of human heroes or at the most half-human/half-gods like Kirby. Kirby's Labors He explains that while at a party he struck his mother (Hera?) and as punishment, his father (Zeus?) assigned him twelve labors to complete, after which he would be forgiven. He is visited periodically by his sister Athena, whom he calls "Theenie," and who delivers a brief idea of what his next task is. All of the tasks that he actually names follow fairly closely to the twelve labors of Hercules' myth. He also has a brother, Apollo. Kirby meets Kevin Matchstick and Joe Phat as they are about to invade a nest of harpies.
