Appearance ;;[/color]
Prometheus stands 6’4”, though not especially built or intimidating. In fact, if it weren’t for the obvious immortal power coming off him, he could pass as simply human. But human is by far what Prometheus is not. Where once he had much longer hair, coming straight out of his imprisonment as punishment by the gods, he has swapped it for a short, neat cut of dark, brown-blonde hair. His eyes are a very soft blue that can at first seem very friendly and good-willed, and usually only display his passive take on things (except certain eagle/vulture-related things). His face (and the rest of his body) is covered in scars from the claws of the birds of prey that tortured him for centuries.
Aside from the gruesome facial marks, Prometheus is very refined. He always dresses to the hilt, in a black tuxedo, complete with jacket and usually bow tie and fancy watch. After all, he does have standards when he’s not being pecked to death repeatedly.
Personality ;;[/color]
Prometheus is a man of opportunity. He puts up a kind face, and quite often earnestly means well. But he is not stupid. Prometheus is the type of person, or Titan, who takes his time and watches the situation from the sidelines, sizing up as many of the details of what’s going on, the people involved, and the like before jumping in, if he does so at all. As the Titan of forethought, he also has a knack for knowing which side in a fight, or even just a game of checkers, has the better chance. Sometimes he takes pity on those who are at such odds they can’t possibly win and offers some help to them as he did in the Battle of Manhattan. In his mind, this is more of a true charity than any form of trick or treachery. However, he does not shift his allegiance from the side he sees fit for victory.
Unfortunately, as shown in the Battle of Manhattan, he is not always completely right in his forethought. After all, he has forethought, not foresight, so the unexpected involvement of gods of the underworld or Cyclops armies can throw off his predictions. In cases such as this, he is quick to go to the real winning side and plead innocent.
Prometheus is usually one to anger very, very slowly. He takes everything in turn and allows things to roll off him with a fair amount of ease. The only topic that gets him going much at all is his punishment at the hands of the gods for stealing fire for mankind. After having his liver eaten while he writhed in pain every day for several centuries, he has developed a bit of bitterness toward that topic.
Powers ;;[/color]
As the Titan of Forethought, Prometheus has a great ability to see ahead of time what is going to happen or the outcome of certain events. While this is limited, it is usually fairly accurate. Oftentimes his predictions are not exactly on spot time-wise, but they usually do happen at some point. He also has a keen eye for people's potential, given that he considers himself (and was considered by many peoples of old) to be one of mankind's greatest contributors. There have been a few times where he has gotten things wrong, though, or overlooked a particular detail. The most prominent of these cases being the recent war with the Titans two years previous. He tries to keep these instances to himself though and keep them few and thankfully they are few and far between.

History ;;[/color]
Prometheus was born in a time before mankind walked the earth, to the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Clymene. During the Titan War, he sided with the gods, though he was a Titan himself and would normally be expected to take his own family’s side. This proved in his favor when he was not heavily punished by the Olympians. Until he challenged Zeus’ power. The trick he played on Jupiter outwitted the god and resulted in him taking fire away from mankind and hiding it from them. However, when asked, Prometheus generally leaves this little part out.
Taking pity on mankind, and understanding through his forethought their capabilities if they should possess the gift of fire, he stole the fire back from the gods and gave it to mankind once more. However, as rather expected, this only further enraged Jupiter and he punished all of mankind by sending the ‘gift’ of the first woman, Pandora, and a pithos containing all the evil spirits the world had yet to know. With the curiosity that the gods had planted in her, Pandora went against orders and opened the pithos, releasing all the spirits except for Elpis, the spirit of hope.
The gods were furious at his trick and punished him by having him chained to a rock in Caucasus and sent a vulture/eagle (versions vary) to devour his liver every day. Every night, it would grow back, only for the process to repeat the next day. From these encounters, Prometheus’ entire body is covered in scars from the talons, though by wearing a full tuxedo, he does manage to hide most of these.
For many centuries, Prometheus stayed there, chained to the rock and pecked near to death every day, unable to die, only to heal overnight and nearly die again. It wasn’t until the twentieth century and the rise to power of the Titan Lord, Kronos, that Prometheus was released from his bondage. He stayed by the sidelines of the growing battle for about half a year before it became clear to him that the Titans held a significant lead. So he joined Kronos’ side and was rewarded with an old keepsake: Pandora’s pithos, Elpis still trapped inside. For the majority of the war, he stayed to the sidelines on his own side, preferring to take on the role of mediator and counselor, until the opportunity appeared. During the middle of the day, he called for a peaceful meeting with Percy Jackson and some of his own chosen comrades, and handed over Pandora’s pithos with the promise that should Percy accept the war’s fate and let Hope out of the jar, Prometheus would see to it that he and the remaining demigods were spared.
However, the war took a dramatic turn with the arrival of Hades and an army of undead, as well as an army of Cyclops bringing victory on two fronts. Kronos was sent back to Tartarus and Prometheus immediately went into hiding and sent a list of excuses for his siding with Kronos to the Olympians from afar. It was expected he would stay in hiding for a century at least. But it was expected wrong.
Prometheus was not looking forward to staying int he shadows long. So he slipped under the radar just enough to gather those still with shaky loyalty to the Olympians. This time, without the aid of Kronos or any of his fellow Titans, he sought out a relic as old as time, yet unknown to time. And just the right people to handle it: the Romans.
