'Proteus' was a primordial god of the sea who was a shapeshifter, able to turn into a snake, a lion, water, fire, or anything else he pleased. Heroes of mythology were able to obtain valuable information from him, if only they could hold onto him long enough. The balance of chaos and order in the image was difficult to strike, as it is in life.
