Haphaestus, or Vulcan (in Roman mythology), was ruler of fire and the forge. You could say he was the blacksmith. He was Hera and Zeus' son, a quite ugly one and also lame (because, while still a child, Zeus pushed him off Olympus in a fit of rage). Eventually he became indispensable, as he made weapons and armour for the gods and the mortals the gods favoured. He helped Zeus deliver his daughter, Athena, by cracking his father's skull (the goddess had been swallowed by Zeus while still inside her mother's womb, and somehow grew inside his head).
He was the one assigned to create Pandora, the first woman.
It's assumed that Hephaestus was the inventor of the forge, and he protected weaponsmiths and armorers.
On a darker note, he and Hermes chained Prometheus, the creator of mankind and its benefactor, on Mt. Caucasus.

Where did Hephaestus make Pandora?
It was not only Hephaestus it was the entre mt olympus and it was reveng for showing fire to humans, me again the 9 yr. old
In elaboration: Because men accepted the gift of fire from Prometheus, and had a hand in tricking Zeus into accepting an unappetizing sacrifice, the king of the Gods decreed that man should also be so deceived (since they could no longer take fire from man as Prometheus taught them the secret of making it themselves).
So Hephaestus molded the woman from clay. She was taught how to be demure by Artemis, how to be seductive by Hera, how to please men by Aphrodite, and how to speak and craft by Athena. Finally, by Eris, she was given an insatiable curiosity. Before she was presented to Epimetheus, the leader of men, she was given a sealed pithos (a large clay jar) in which was contained all the personifications of ill will and evil the world knows. Hermes, before sending her to the men reminded her that she was never to open the jar under any circumstances, lest awful things befall the world.
Even though Epimetheus was warned by his brother not to accept any gifts from the gods, Epimetheus was absent minded, and the gods knew he would take Pandora in. The gods also knew that eventually her curiosity would get the better of her, and Pandora did not disappoint. She opened the jar and accidentally released all the woe and hardship into the world. Acting as quickly as she could, she tried to reseal the jar, but it was too late. All that was left inside was the faintly shining goddess, Hope.
