Seppo Ilmarinen, the Eternal Hammerer, is an archetypal artificer from Finnish mythology. Immortal, he is capable of creating practically anything right down to animated creatures of metal, but is notoriously unlucky in love. He's described as working the known metals of the time, including brass, copper, iron, gold and silver. The great works of Ilmarinen include the Sampo and the dome of the sky; less great ones include crafting a golden robot wife to satisfy his sexual and other domestic needs since his nerdy traits failed to attract wives of the carnal kind. It didn't work out.
