Cronus is the Greek titan of harvest. He is the son of Gaea and Uranus, and the father of many of the gods in the Greek pantheon, notably Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. He is best known for being such an awful father that he got himself locked in Tartarus for the rest of eternity. The myth states that Cronus once received a prophesy saying his kids would overthrow him, so he did the only rational thing any father would do and fucking ate them. Shockingly, his kids resented him a bit for that, and decided to overthrow him and lock him in hell forever as punishment (a Greek myth about a prophecy being self-fulfilled? Say it ain't so!).
Cronus is usually depicted as lawful evil, and his followers should be as well, though they can be any evil alignment. They often organize harvest festivals, which they use to recruit more members.
