**Prometheus** is the trickster Titan God and one of the narrators for *Immortals: Fenyx Rising*. For stealing fire from the gods and gifting it to humanity, Prometheus was chained to a mountain and had his liver devoured by an eagle, only for it to grow back and be eaten again the next day.

## Biography

Prometheus is the son of Iapetus and Clymene, and the brother of Atlas. He sided with the Olympian Gods during the Titanomachy, assisting Zeus in the fight against Kronos.

When Zeus created humanity, Prometheus tricked Zeus by wrapping bone in animal fat and the meat in the guts. Zeus chose the tastier-looking fat, and was furious when Prometheus revealed the deception. He confiscated mankind's use of fire in retaliation.

Prometheus proceeded to secretly steal fire away from Olympos and return it to humanity. In response, Zeus had Prometheus chained to a mountain with an eagle to attack his liver each day while it grew back each night.

He is chained up on King's Peak and is less than happy to see Zeus again. Upon learning that his half-brother Typhon is free, Prometheus tells Zeus the story of Fenyx.

## Appearance

In Immortals Fenyx Rising, Prometheus appears as a Giant but extremely thin man with glowing blue eyes. In contrast to Zeus and the other gods, his skin glows blue.

## Role in Story

Once Typhon has been released and has gone on a rampage, Prometheus is abruptly visited by his jailer, Zeus. Although the King of the Gods greets him as his favorite cousin, Prometheus is bitter to be chained to frozen mountain summit and having his liver eaten by an eagle. After receiving a vision of what's transpired, Prometheus denies Zeus's plea to help him stop Typhon. Prometheus also turns down the idea that he could talk down Typhon since he once fought alongside the other Titans in the past, especially since his precognitive abilities are blocked.

After Zeus informs him that his powers are weakened, the other gods have disappeared, and humanity being turned to stone Prometheus then suggests a savior in one of the surviving humans that Zeus distrusts. From there, Prometheus strikes up a wager: if he's right and the mortal triumphs over Typhon, Zeus must pardon Prometheus and release him of his sin of stealing fire. But if Zeus wins, Prometheus must aid Zeus in defeating Typhon whatever it takes.

With the wager struck, Prometheus begins to narrate the tale of Fenyx as the start of his redemption, much to Zeus's dismay.

As he tells Fenyx's tale and how Fenyx took on Typhon, Prometheus informs Zeus that Typhon revealed with his dying breath to Fenyx that Hermes was Fenyx's father and thus a demigod. As Zeus begins to congratulate Prometheus for winning the bet, he still appears puzzled, questioning how this could be as Fenyx doesn't have hooves like Hermes other child, Pan, that Typhon never seemed to have a plan with the god-killing potion, and nothing was done to turn all the humans back to normal. Prometheus then reveals the truth: he never lost his precognitive abilities, Zeus himself turned everyone into stone and, as Zeus wouldn't listen to reason, Prometheus had his brother Atlas cause the ship wreck and free Typhon in the first place to set everything in motion. As Zeus is stunned by this revelation, Prometheus then reveals yet a bigger piece he was hiding: Hermes' isn't Fenyx's father, Zeus is, being the eldest child between the King of the Gods and the nymph Thetis, starting a prophecy that the couple's eldest child would end Zeus one day. When Zeus remarks that Fenyx was injured, Prometheus informs him this was also a lie and was never injured, explaining why Fenyx was able to wield the hammer out of extreme heat and handle Zeus's Lightning. Fenyx then appears with the god-killing potion just in time to confront Zeus and Prometheus is gleeful that the prophecy will soon be fulfilled. Instead, Fenyx forgives Zeus and makes them swear to do better but are then confronted by Typhon, who had given Fenyx the potion in the hopes they too would kill Zeus. Typhon then grabs Zeus and Fenyx, swallows the potion, and drops back to his vault, leaving Prometheus alone.

After Typhon is properly defeated, Zeus sends Fenyx's half-brother, Ligyron, to Prometheus with a key to unbind his chains. However, before he frees the god, Ligyron tells Prometheus he must first tell him the tale of Fenyx, much to Prometheus' annoyance.

## From Great Beginnings

Prometheus makes a minor appearance in the graphic novel set after the events of the game, having been relocated on Mount Olympos. Still imprisoned and subjected to the retelling of his own tale by Ligyron over many months, Prometheus agonizes over the the tale's pacing and many "tangents", remarking that "*Ares is **still** a chicken.*"
