Also by his own account, however, we learn that Zeus was not really a god, but an Incarnate empowered by the Well of Furies. We also learn that Prometheus has a very antagonistic attitude towards the Well. He also has a lot of knowledge about both the Well and the Coming Storm/Battalion. So just what is he? Given how butthurt he seems in his attitude towards the Well of Furies, and how he's rallying the troops against Cole, it seems very possible to me that he might have been the Well's chosen champion in ancient times, and was cast aside by that enigmatic font of power (perhaps in favor of Zeus?) Could he be a member of the Battalion's alien race? One who turned against them, and now seeks to stop their Coming Storm? Just how old is he, anyway? Does he precede even beings such as Tielekku, Hequat, and Ermeeth? Or- and here's another idea, playing off the speculation above- what if he is an embittered former Chosen of the Well, seeking revenge. He wants to destroy its current champion, Cole, and finally claim all of its power for himself. Perhaps the Coming Storm is actually coming to stop his multiversal plans of conquest, which is why he's concerned about their arrival? We still haven't ever quite figured out what that whole destroyed Ouroboros imagery from Mender Ramiel's first mission was about, after all. |
He also went back in time and helped to plant Croatoa when it was just a barren dessert.

And I'm not trying to be snarky here, that's quite literally all Prometheus is. Because iTrials form from the LFG Queue, they are designed without a contact and thus with no vessel to give context and specific story behind the Trials. By forming a Trial from the queue, you simply "show up" at the Trial grounds and begin doing with no concept of where you are or why you're there. That was one problem with the Hamidon way back when: In the Hive, there is a giant jelly cake. It doesn't matter what it is or why it's there, it can be attacked and it grants rewards. You could piece together who and what the Hamidon is if you REALLY wanted to (and didn't accidentally skip over that one arc or that one mission where it's explained), but that was never the point.
To avoid this problem, we have Prometheus. One day, out of nowhere, Giant Smurph shows up in Ouroboros (of all places) to give us exposition. At the very least he does mention why he's there in the first place (Longbow apparently raided his house for whatever undisclosed reason) and... I'm not sure how the story follows. I think he just decided to get off his blue *** and help out.
Technically, he's supposed to be a god, but "a god" was a nebulous proposition even before the Well of the Furies. Even before that, we were still making a clear distinction between magic and "the power of the divine." Before Tielekku apparently invented (or learned) magic, gods still had their own esoteric powers, thus they weren't technically magical, but now they're even less magical and sometimes alien, so I honestly don't know. If our religion is to be this messed up, then one would think it would be more prudent to simply not involve existing religious deities that just happen to have passed their expiration date in real life theology.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
I'm disappointed he's not taller. And that his skin is just a shade of blue instead of the nebulous reflection effect it had in the comic.
He reminded me of Eternity from Marvel, but with clouds instead of the cosmos.
