Before they could unlock the tomb, a mysterious time-traveler appeared and broke into the tomb... but Apocalypse survived.

Apocalypse introduced him to Viper, who saw in him the potential as a mutant hunter. Hoping to earn the love of his mutant-hating father, who happened to be Viper's ally, Caliban agreed.

Dr. Trask rallied the remaining members behind him and organized the Pure Blood Movement, a way of gathering human soldiers in his war against mutants.

Powers: The full extent of Proteus's powers are unknown, but he is capable of draining and creating energy, and to some extent, manipulation of reality itself
Known Relatives: Unnamed mother, Apocalypse (adoptive father)
History: Apocalypse knew that Takla Sharwa, alias Proteus, would destroy him in the future, and decided to send back Shifter to alter time, and his younger self would take Proteus as his son, rather than an enemy. Apocalypse ordered his Horsemen to destroy the human village in Tibet where the child was born. Archangel, the Horseman of Death left the child behind, claiming that he was not found. The X-Men later found him and took him in, and Magneto asked his old friend Mystique to watch after the child, who she named Kevin. After several battles, Apocalypse finally took the child, and using an alternate version of Shifter, generated enough energy to awaken his dormant powers. As Apocalypse had known the original Proteus to be a worthy adversary, he honored him by naming the child Proteus. Using his ability to merge with others, he absorbed several other mutants, and through this merger, he knew everything they knew. He learned of Apocalypse's evil and cruelty and destroyed him, absorbing all of his life energy- enough to power his final form, one that exists in a real beyond human comprehension. Using the young Shifter (Paul McGregor)'s time-traveling abilities and his own reality-warping powers, Proteus now exists in two timelines at once, capable of observing both times, but refusing to react. The only one who knows about him is Shifter, who has gone into hiding.
Fate: Proteus's final fate remains unclear; it is believed that he was elevated into a different form of existence after draining the energy of Apocalypse. He was elevated to the point that he could only speak to Paul McGregor, but with his death, Proteus's role remains unclear. The full history of Proteus is covered in Age of Apocalypse: Alternate Reality.
Name: Private Paul McGregor (young Shifter)
Affiliation: Pure Blood Movement, later an ally of the X-Men
Powers: Capable of moving through time and space; essentially teleportation and time-travel.

Known Relatives: "old" Shifter (time-displaced alternate self), the original Shifter (alternate, older self)
History: Private McGregor was originally a member of Trask's army, and even had the important job of delivering the long-missing XT Sentinel plans to Trask. A routine blood test revealed that McGregor was a mutant, though his powers had yet to truly manifest and he was completely unaware. Ironically, he became to first test subject for the XT Sentinel, but his powers were activated before he could be killed, and Trask mistook his disappearance for death. He was trapped in an interdimensional void until an alternate version of him, called Shifter, found him and explained his powers and history to him... it turned out that in the original timeline, McGregor was the original Shifter, a servant of Apocalypse who went back in time to kill Professor Xavier. McGregor trusted Shifter, who was himself a servant of Apocalypse, but he was ultimately betrayed.
Fate: McGregor attempted to finish Apocalypse, but he was killed. The full history of Shifter is covered in Age of Apocalypse: Alternate Reality.
