'''Jonathan Phaedrus''', usually referred to as '''Prof''', is the leader of the [[Reckoners]], a group which hunts down and kills [[Epic]]s.{{book ref|Steelheart|7}} Somewhat ironically, he himself is an Epic of considerable power, {{book ref|Steelheart|41}} known by the alias '''Limelight'''.{{book ref|Calamity|14}}
=== Weaknesses ===
Prof's weakness is failure, and the risk of it. This can be seen as he refused to enter a contest pre-Calamity and his reluctance to use his abilities in Steelheart, instead
== History ==
In the third book of the series, Prof served as the main antagonist of the book. While consumed by his powers, Prof went to Ildithia and continued Regalia's plan of taking [[Larcener]]'s assumer abilities and replacing Calamity, unaware of the fact the Larcener himself was Calamity. He faced off against David's team twice, but soon David redeemed him by making him confront his weakness. In the end, he aids David in taking down Calamity and freeing the Epics from the corruption of their powers; however, he grieves from his actions and his murders of Tia, Exel, and Val while he was under the corruption of his powers.
=== [[Lux (book)|Lux]] ===
After Jax’s brother was killed by the Epic [[Lovestruck]] and his family killed by [[Obliteration]], Prof found Jax, took care of him, and fed him as they traveled across the country. He took Jax to the [[Coop]], leaving him to be trained by [[Zeff]] as a Reckoner.{{book ref|lux|3}}
Later on, Prof visited the Coop to check up on Jax’s progress and give the Texas Reckoners new assignments.{{book ref|lux|9}}
