Seppo Ilmarinen is an archetypal artificer from Finnish mythology. He is described as working the known metals of the time, brass, copper, iron, gold and silver among others. Besides the Sampo, he notably crafted a robot wife to satisfy his sexual and other domestic needs since his nerdy traits failed to attract wives of the carnal kind.
