Artepheus Also Known as Si he is an old man who is an alchemist and a main character in The Adventures of Puss in Boots. He is voiced by Paul Rugg. He is known for mostly nonsense and macrame owls, but has liking for magic and alchemy.

Appearance[]

Artephius is a lanky old man who wears a blue robe and a hat, brown slippers, and he has a white beard and hair, yet his eyebrows are grey. His robe is worn and has several visible holes repaired by cloth and fabric patches.

When he was younger dating Maldonna, he had long, wavy brunette locks and was clean shaven, exposing a cleft chin.

Personality[]

Artephius is old and senile, tending to repeat and also not having much common sense, and being crazily forgetful. He can actually also be smart and intelligent at times, being an alchemist. Despite having power, he chooses not to use it because of power corrupts. He is protective of the town and believes people will be good to give them a chance. Because he is generally senile and crazy, people tend not to believe him, such as in episode 11, where everyone believed he was crazy when he said the mouse was actually the evil wizard Fartholomew Fishflinger. This is despite his occasional moments of clarity. He commonly hides items in his blue robe. He is also very eccentric. When Artephius babysat the orphans, he did not discourage their singing, even after they added explosives, in fact, he further encouraged it!

He adores macramé, particularly owls. In his shop he hangs many of his creations decorating his lab.

Background[]

He used to date Duchess but left her (presumably because she was evil and crazy). However, he still loves her and tries to appeal to her better nature. While it has failed, he seems to still want to be with her. He even keeps the gold necklace of a heart that the two made and split in two. He also engaged in a battle with Fartholomew who tried to take over the world by turning him into a mouse. He also drunk from the Fountian of Youth too much and got old again. He has an obsession with macrame especially making macrame owls.
