Prometheus

Prometheus was a pagan deity of the Greek pantheon. He is a Titan, described as a "proto-god" or "the gods before the gods." For a time he was named Shane, as the lover of Hayley and father of her son Oliver. Prometheus was responsible for bringing fire down from Olympus and giving it to mankind to provide them with light and warmth and to protect them from monsters. For this action, Zeus chained Prometheus to a mountain in Europe and cursed him to die each day and have his entrails eaten by an eagle and then resurrect the next day to endure the process over again for all eternity.

Early life
Prometheus was responsible for stealing fire from Olympus and giving it to humans. According to Zeus, Prometheus's act was the reason the Greek deities (and possibly all others) are no longer worshiped and ruling the world. For such actions, Zeus cursed Prometheus to die everyday. The titan was imprisoned in a mountain in Europe, where after thousands of years, he was discovered by a mountain climber named Hayley after an avalanche freed him.

Season 8
Due to loss of memory, he forgot his past, and was given the name, Shane. He developed a relationship with Hayley, and even fathered a child named Oliver. His curse passed on to his son as well, forcing him and Sam and Dean Winchester to summon Zeus to lift the curse. In the confrontation, Zeus proved unyielding, until he managed to convince Hayley to release him from the trap. Zeus then attacked the hunters and Prometheus. Zeus promised to make up for lost time since Prometheus's escape from the mountain and started attacking Prometheus.



The titan was attacked by Zeus with a combination of electrocution and physical beatings to the point of nearly passing out. Meanwhile, Sam used the feelings Artemis was harboring for Prometheus to convince the goddess to put a stop to her father. Artemis threatened to kill her father with an arrow, but Zeus shielded himself from the attack by using the body of the titan. However, Prometheus pushed the arrow through himself, into Zeus. Killing both of them, and breaking the curse on Oliver. Hayley and Dean later cremate Prometheus' body, while Oliver requests that he be allowed to stay for the ceremony.

Physical Appearance
Prometheus appears as a young adult male with brown curly hair, blue eyes, and a beard. It's unknown if this was his real appearance or if he had an alternate, more monstrous form like some other deities.

Powers and Abilities
As a deity, Prometheus possesses several abilities that are common for his kind. He was also highly skilled at hand-to-hand combat, enough to defeat the Greek goddess of the hunt. It is possible he possessed other abilities, but due to his amnesia he had no knowledge of them.


 * Immortality - Prometheus was over 6,000 years old or older and retains the appearance and health of a young man. He has an infinite lifespan and is not subject to old age or any form of illness.
 * Super Stamina - He has been trapped in the mountain for many centuries without any form of sustenance, due to his nearly deathless immortality.
 * Self-Resurrection - He has the ability to come back to life after being killed, although this was due to a curse laid on him by Zeus and came with the caveat that he had to die every day (usually in a very violent way). Very few things are able to kill him permanently such as Artemis' Blade and Artemis' Bow and Arrows.
 * Regeneration - After each resurrection, he was instantaneously healed of all injuries, whether it be minor cuts, ballistic wounds or loss of organs & limbs(including his head).
 * Super strength - He was able to overpower Artemis and throw her against a wall with considerable force. Also able to push an arrow through himself and into Zeus behind him.

Weaknesses
As a "proto-god", Prometheus has a few weaknesses, and even fewer due to his curse reviving him from most mundane means of death.


 * Higher Beings - Higher beings such as God, The Darkness, Archangels and Death could kill Prometheus with little to no effort. It is assumed that Zeus could kill him as well, although Prometheus had access to almost none of the abilities he might have due to memory loss, and Zeus preferred to torture him rather than kill him.
 * Zeus 's Death - Should Zeus die, the curse requiring his death and resurrection each day would be lifted, though he will still retain his natural divine immortality.
 * Divine Weaponry - Sam mentioned that the blade of Artemis and Artemis' bow and arrows can kill deities, but it is unclear if it these weapons would have permanently killed Prometheus while he remained cursed.

In Lore
Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to mortals, carrying it away from Mount Olympus in a fennel stalk. He is credited for enabling the progress of civilization for the benefit of humanity. Because of his transgression the god Zeus punished Prometheus to an eternity of torment, where he would be bound to a rock and each day an eagle would come and eat his liver.
