**Proteus Wuji** (プロティアス ウジ *Purotiasu Wuji*) is one of the  the higher ups of White Brigade, a terrorist organization that seeks to destroy the system of royals and nobles in all the kingdoms. He is a skillful user of Painting Magic and is positioned at Spade Kingdom.

## Appearance

Proteus is a lean and fairly muscular young man of average height. He has red, ringed eyes and black medium length hair with a long, segmented ponytail that stretches down to his ankles. He wears purple makeup on his eyes, which fades toward the inner portions of his eyelids. He sports an Indian chunnari around his shoulders and a small, short-sleeved, black, midriff-baring choli. He also sports an Indian leg dress, which stops at his ankles but does not wear shoes. He has gold bangle bracelets that extend from his elbows to his wrists and a gold bangle necklace with a ruby in the center.

## Personality

Proteus is the most playful of the higher ups, teasing them at a moment's notice while he is also childish, hating meetings and the like and preferring to sleep or eat instead of dealing with them. This childlike mindset makes him uncaring for what is considered good or evil, with him being in the organization so he can be totally free and unrestrained when it comes to this concept. Also, his childlike behavior makes him impatient and whimscical, with him killing subordinates when they fail him or when he feels like it. However, while he shows being uncaring for results, he is secretly competitive towards the other higher ups, wishing for their failures so he can overshadow them with his own achievements and mock them. He respects the leader and is also extremely afraid of him, with his order or slightest anger making him behave properly or fight seriously, with Proteus normally not taking his fights seriously and toys with his opponents, with things not going his way or taking a lot of damage being other things that make him fight seriously. Proteus treats every fight as a painting ready to be created by him, with his opponents dying gruesomely or ending up consumed by the despair of defeat being considered a masterpiece of his.
