- "My uncle appears in the mythology of many races. He has many names, but the story is the same: Prometheus created the first humani out of mud using an ancient technology that was so advanced it seemed magical. Some of the other Elders created beasts, but Prometheus went one step further. A step too far, for many. That was the reason the Elders hated him and banished him, and why he was sentenced to a long drawn-out death in the Hades Shadowrealm."
- — Aoife on her Great-uncle Prometheus
Prometheus the Firelord is an Elder, the brother of the Witch of Endor, warrior comrade-in-arms to Huitzilopochtli and father-in-law to Abraham the Mage. A Master of Fire, he created the first humani; molding them from clay and accidentally animating them by the power of his aura. He also taught humani how to use fire for cooking and creation. Tsagaglalal and Gilgamesh were simultaneously the first of the First People to be animated by his aura and allowed them perpetual, renewable youth. His blood-red aura smells of sweet anise, but with the creation of the humani, it was permanently changed to be bitter and foul anise. He is friends with Niten, his future grandson-in-law.
Appearance[]

Prometheus
Prometheus is portrayed as a very brawny, tall, as stated by Josh to be at least six feet and seven inches tall, weighing at least 300 pounds, all of it pure muscle. He also has bright green eyes, a fiery red hair of tight curls and a beard streaked with gray and silver. He usually wears jeans and a deeply faded shirt and hiking boots. His face also possesses several tiny scars from his time of imprisonment. His auric armor is an ornate red metal shimmering crimson. It would pale, becoming crystalline and transparent as his aura overall decreased from his body by overdraft.
In Zephaniah's memories when the first humani were created, Prometheus wore rust-colored leather armor, his hairy arms bare, and wielded two double-headed axes hanging on his waist belt.
On Danu Talis, Prometheus was a tall redheaded warrior in shimmering crimson armor and metal-gloved hands. When Scathach first met him, he was a huge red-haired warrior in shimmering crimson armor. While piloting the Rukma vimana, the big Elder grinned from the controls, teeth white against his beard. For the civil uprising, Prometheus was dressed from head to foot in ornate red armor, and a massive red-bladed sword was strapped to his back, the hilt projecting over his left shoulder. On the top of the Pyramid of the Sun, Prometheus wore burnished red armor.
Until Tuesday 5 June, his appearance looked middle-aged. By Wednesday 6 June, his hair has become graying-white and he looked tired and ill with more wrinkles due to supporting the Sorceress's ritual for dying the Alchemyst and fishing the Lotan. On Thursday 7 June, his self-healing with aura caused him to age, his hair turning snow-white, lines etching into his forehead, deep groves forming alongside his nose and at the corners of his mouth. He also restored the two spear holes on his auric armor. Dead, but saved by his daughter, his armor was in ruins.
Personality[]
Prometheus appears to have a very kind yet cruel personality. He loathes Mars Ultor (up until The Warlock). He apparently is also very sensitive when it comes to betrayal, such as when he was, in his mind, betrayed by his sister, and when he was betrayed by his brother in arms Mars. He was also deeply depressed when Josh turned over to the Dark Elders. Despite also being very loving and caring, he appears to have a very strict and cruel side; he isn't afraid to kill in cold blood. He also apparently has a more sneaky and cunning side to his personality.
Francis, on many occasions, has been said to have stole the secret of Fire from Prometheus. This prompted the Firelord to no longer train others for along time until Josh. While Prometheus was training Josh in the magic of Fire, he said that he'd forgiven St. Germain for stealing the secret of Fire because he had stolen it himself beforehand.
Even if he created the humani, Prometheus only favored a few (Tsagaglalal and Gilgamesh) and set strict paternal responsibility upon himself: only acting for their future independence, survival and rise as the next dominant race of Earth, but being indifferent to many enslaved or experimented humani on Danu Talis. After the Fall of Danu Talis, Prometheus helped many humans, but most of them were betrayed after he taught them, the latest was Francis. These many betrayals caused the Firelord to despise most humani (except Niten).
His warrior discipline ensured that when he looked at Abraham, his face was impassive and his posture was straight. He has a daredevil penchant for aviation, lots of firepower and explosives, even when he lived on Danu Talis. By modern day ten thousand years later, he habitually accepts surprise hugs from his "nieces" Scathach and Aoife with great love every time. For Aoife, he used his only revival chance to resurrect Niten.
He speaks English with a strong Southern accent. He has always been fond of the color red, and partial to green. He hates noisy, filthy creatures like parrots.
Powers & Abilities[]
Prometheus is stated by many to be the greatest Master of Fire Magic to ever live. His power in this area was so great that beings such as Mars Ultor, who feared nothing, was terrified of him. He is able to perform feats such as creating massive fireballs, raining fire from the sky, surrounding his body with fire, heating the temperature in a room to burning levels, burning and setting things on fire by touching them, projecting blasts of fire from his hands, creating a massive Supernova explosion that encompasses everything, and an infinite list of more possibilities. He was stated by Aoife to be one of the most powerful Elders in existence.

The Magician[]
Prometheus was briefly mentioned by Nicholas Flamel as one of the Elders he could find to teach Sophie the art of Fire Magic. He is mentioned as the nemesis of "Francis" Comte de Saint-Germain for the latter being a thieving apprentice.
The Necromancer[]
Prometheus plays a much larger role in The Necromancer. At some point, he escaped from his Shadowrealm prison and fled to make his home in the Shadowrealm of Hades at Point Reyes, California. Nicholas Flamel, Perenelle, Sophie, Josh, Aoife and Niten all traveled to this Shadowrealm in hopes that Prometheus could train Josh in Fire Magic. At first Prometheus refused, but after Sophie used her Silver Aura to create a copy of Zephanniah's armor around herself and used her memories to become almost exactly like the Witch, calling him the father of the humani, and that as their father he had responsibility to them. This convinced him to train Josh.
They all then travelled to a cottage that Prometheus had in his Shadowrealm where he taught Josh the secrets of Fire Magic. After Josh left the cottage while under the control of Mars Ultor, Nicholas, Aoife, Niten, Sophie, and Perenelle Flamel used an Archon Skull to watch and follow Josh's every movement. When he arrived at Dee's, however, the connection was broken. Prometheus was appalled that Nicholas had even brought the skull and refused to touch it. He soon came around though, and used his Aura to fuel the skull. Soon after, Prometheus got a call from Niten saying that a fight had ensued and Josh had gone over to the Dark Elders.
The Warlock[]
Prometheus is first shown in The Warlock driving out of his collapsing Shadowrealm with Nicholas and Perenelle. They go to Tsagaglalal's house, where they stay with Sophie and Niten. When Hel, Odin, and Mars arrive, Mars tries to attack Prometheus. However, after Tsagaglalal gives them both messages from Abraham the Mage, they agree to become friends again. Prometheus, along with Mars, Hel, Odin, and Black Hawk, go to Alcatraz to stop Dee from unleashing monsters onto San Francisco.
He also appears on Danu Talis's northeast shores, first climbing Abraham's uncomfortable crystal spire near the city of Murias. He reports about Scathach's group strangely arriving on the hills south of Murias and is commanded by Abraham to rescue them from the imperial court's dungeons. He proclaims himself as the finest flier in Danu Talis.
The Enchantress[]
Prometheus fought alongside Niten against the Drakon, he was defeated and was revived by Tsagaglalal, but asked for Niten to be revived rather than him. His daughter gave up her renewable youth and accepted mortal aging to revive him.
On Danu Talis, Prometheus, Tsagaglalal, and Scathach's group fought on top of the pyramid against Osiris and Isis's minions to help the Twins of Legend. Prometheus used white fire magic to control the field. The entire defense group survived and left the pyramid with Sophie on the Earthlords' vimana, leaving Josh to complete the Prophecy, The Codex and become the singularity Marethyu.
Death[]
Prometheus and Niten are stabbed by Spartoi Warriors in the end of The Enchantress. Tsagaglalal comes, and can only save one; when she saves Prometheus, he tells her to take the aura back and save Niten. Before he dies, he says "Tell Niten to find Aoife and ask the question. Tell him... she will say yes."
