Prior to the arrival of [[Calamity (Epic)|Calamity]] he was a fifth-grade science teacher. At some later time his school was destroyed by an Epic while still in session. It is unknown whether or not the Epic in question is, in reality, himself.{{book ref|Steelheart|34}} He has an unexplained hatred of Steelheart, more so than of any other epic. Sometime prior to the events of Steelheart, was part of a team of "hero" epics consisting of himself, [[Lincoln]], Abigail Reed, and [[Amala]]. However, in an unexplained scene, Lincoln became the Epic Murkwood and Prof had to kill Amala. Sometime later, Phaedrus founded the Reckoners.
Following the events of Steelheart, Phaedrus travelled with David to [[Babylon Restored]] to take out his old friend [[Abigail Reed]], now known as the Epic Regalia. Due to Regalia's plotting, Phaedrus is forced to use his powers more and more. This culminates when Regalia detonates a bomb made using Obliteration's powers to destroy Babylon Restored. Phaedrus is able to stop the detonation but the extensive use of his powers drives him over the edge and makes him a full Epic. He subsequently kills two members of the Reckoners team and tries to kill David Charleston, but is stopped by [[Megan Tarash|Firefight]]. (For more about this era in [[Prof's]] life, please look up [[Prof (Limelight).
While consumed by his powers, Prof went to Ildithia and continued Regalia's plan. He faced off against David's team twice, but soon David reedeemed him by making him confront his weakness.
