Proteus

OLD MAN OF THE SEA of Greek mythology, to whom all of the past, present, and future was
known, but who would assume various forms to avoid revealing it.
Only when he was captured and constrained to a particular manifestation could the future
be determined with certainty...strangely reminiscent of the collapse of the quantum-mechanical
wave function.
