Proteus was a respected marine deity from Egypt and the personification of the waves. His father was Poseidon, the Olympian god of the Oceans.

Proteus knew every single sea in detail and could transform to any animal or dragon he wanted. His favorite animals were the seals. Furthermore, Proteus had the gift of prophecy, but hardly ever revealed the truth about the future unless someone was able to capture him.
