The son of Apollo, Asclepius was the god of medicine in both Greek and Roman mythology. Some myths say that his mother, Coronis, was a nymph. Others say that she was a mortal woman. Regardless, when Apollo learned of her pregnancy, he sent a white raven to be her guardian. Returning with bad news, the raven told Apollo that Coronis had been unfaithful during her pregnancy. Upon hearing the news, Apollo's twin - Artemis - was filled with rage. Shooting the woman with an arrow, Artemis's rage was so strong that it is said to have turned the raven black.
As Coronis laid on the funeral pyre, Apollo took Asclepius and gave him to the wise centaur Chiron. Ledgend says that Chiron raised the young man and taught him medicine, as well as the healing arts. It is said that Asclepius was so good at healing that he could cheat death and bring people back from the Underworld. In another myth, it is said that Ascelpius learned how to prevent death with the various cures he had came up with by using plants.
Zeus thought of the boy as to strong. Asclepius caused the line between the mortals and gods to blur. As a result, Zeus struck him down with one of his lightning bolts. Out of general respect for the healer, Zeus placed him in the heavens.

Unlike most of the gods, Asclepius had a fairly smooth transition into being a mortal. Humans are easily breakable, causing a high demand for doctors. Through-out his history as a mortal, Asclepius has spent a ton of years as a doctor. Healing and helping people is his greatest ambition in life, and he never plans to change that.
Since moving to Seattle, Asclepius (Now better known as Jace) has taken up the job of being a college professor. Turns out nurturing the human mind is just as rewarding as healing the human body. Plus it leaves him extra time to flirt with that hottie Norse chick who lives on the apartment floor above him.
