Lord Proteus is the leader of the Shaper's Guild in Khera and the older teacher of that group. He is responsible for teaching the techniques and forms to the kherans with shapeshifting and morphing metal abilities. He inspired the greek myth of Proteus when a group of kherubim's kherans become stranded on the planet, thousands of years ago. This fact make Proteus proud.

Lord Proteus met Warblade when he and the WildCATs arrived to Khera after the events of Wildstorm Rising. Glad to meet the hybrid, Proteus teaches Reno several warrior configurations and showed the half human hybrid that his powers still had a wide range of applications beyond just using them as metallic claws.
