Oranos was born from Gaia (mother earth) from chaos. gaia also gave birth to pontus, titan god of the sea. gaia mated with oranos and they had 12 children Including Kronos and Rheia. Ouranos had other children such as cerebus of the underworld so he banished them deep into Gaia's body. gaia was in a lot of pain so she told Kronos to castrate his father (cutting the genitals off) So Kronos took over the role of King of the Titans and married his sister Rheia and they had 6 children including Zeus, Hades and Poseiden. Kronos had feared a revoloution so he swallowed 5 of his children except for Zeus which gaia hid and kept him safe until he was able to overthrow Kronos and banish him to tartarus. This was the birth of the olympian gods and that is how they all came to be kings

He is not a god. He is a Titan. He is important because he chopped his father, Ouranos, to pieces.
