Proteus is an Illyrian who lived in Windhaven Camp in the Night Court.

History

Proteus was a wealthy male who owned a clothing shop in Windhaven Camp. At some point in his life, he met an Illyrian female with whom he had a son, who died of unknown causes. Ten years after the passing of his only son, his wife gave birth to Emerie. Proteus was abusive and would beat his wife. One time he beat her so badly she couldn't recover and died. He made his daughter Emerie dig her grave and told people she'd miscarried a baby, dying from blood loss. People believed him as he was charming and smart, a seemingly good male in front of others.

After the death of his wife, he started to beat Emerie, he beat her so badly, he once broke her back. He kept her in bed while she healed, telling people she was ill. On other occasions he would slam her head into walls, crunch her fingers in a door, abusing her until she blacked out.

At some point before the war with Hybern, as he was a traditional male, he clipped Emerie's wings, making her unable to fly. He never gave her any money or allowed her to make her own, he would also control her eating, never letting her eat more than what he deemed appropriate.

When the War with Hybern broke out he was one of the Illyrian warriors who went to the battlefield to fight and never returned. After his death, Emerie took over the shop since he had no other living children.
