Manannán or Manann (arms outstretched, left side statue) also known as Manannán mac Lir ('son of the Sea'), is a sea god, warrior, and king of the otherworld in Gaelic Mythology. His dominion is sometimes referred to by such names as Main Ablach (‘Isle of Apple Trees'), Mag Mell ('Plain of Delights'), or Tir Tairngire ('Land of Promise'). He is described as over-king of the surviving Tuatha Dé after the advent of humans, and uses the mist of invisibility to cloak the whereabouts of his home as well as the sidhe dwellings of the others.

Gwyn (bull horned, right side statue) is a mythological Welsh king of the faery folk, whose significance wanes over time with the rise of Christianity. In early literature, he is a ruler of Annwfn (the Otherworld), embodying the ferocity of demons. He is depicted as a dark lover during the winter months, a leader of the Wild Hunt, and a guardian of the dead.
