Prometheus

Prometheus, Ancient of Red
Birth
Prometheus is the youngest of the Seven Ancients, born roughly in the year 8 when the color Red was created. 
History
The first event of note in Prometheus's life was the human discovery of alcohol. They offered it to the gods, and all of them tried it as a result. This caused Prometheus to have a time where he became copiously drunk, spending time with mortals and often not in the god realm. This behavior eventually stopped a decade or so later.
The next event of signifigant note is the War Of The Gods, in which the Oil Ancient, Exhiligo, sought to put an end to all colors save the main seven to solve a problem of human overpopulation. In this, he and the other Ancients fought against Exhiligo, who had sold a part of his soul to gain power from Void, becoming Voidhiligo. They ultimately failed, Prometheus's wings cut off by Voidhiligo and wounding him and Spectrume gravely. They only survived due to Prometheus's ability of the Gift, which kept them both alive long enough to be helped by Balthezzar and the other gods.
After this, his life became relatively peaceful, tending to the Flame and watching over the Mortals in Red. There are conflicting records of him either having a romance or rivalry with a human during this time, but most lean towards the first. This also was the time that Prometheus and Tajoa Caro took place.
The Flame
This all cultivated, of course, into the last significant event of his life, where Prometheus stole the Flame from the other gods and was punished for it, strung from a volcano until his death. There were also rumors of Void and possibly his human lover involved, but none are confirmed.
Personality and Appearance
Much like the Flame itself, Prometheus is written as having a warm personality, but easy to temper. He was kind to children and mortals alike, and is said to have looked up to his eldest brother, Exhiligo, before his break into insanity. He is said to also be rather serious, with strong abilities of leadership and war. Descriptions say his hair was curly and brown, with brown eyes, though some report his eyes were actually red. He has also been seen with red wings before they were cut off. Red's "Rose and the Beast" portrays him as wingless, swathed in a red cloak and with red brown eyes. His personality is less forgiving in this, condemning the human Beast for not following the teachings of the Flame and turning away a stranger in the storm.
