His lamp was so bright you could see it for miles around!

~ Skarloey on Proteus
Proteus is a posthumous character from the Thomas & Friends Television Series. He was an old engine with a magic lamp. While he is long gone by the time the series begins, he is held in high regard by the other Steam Engines such as Skarloey.
In the audio book; Thomas and the Three Cranes he was voiced by Keith Wickham.
He is only heroic according to the stories of Skarloey and the others. Since we never see him interact with the other characters it's unknown what he is really like as a character.
Biography[]
