Porta

Porta is a childhood friend of Patema. He is also The Elder's right hand man. Since The Elder is growing older and physically weaker, he has Porta carry out a lot of his strenuous work. After Patema goes missing, he sends Porta after her.

Porta is also a very hyperactive person. This lends itself to his sense of humor. Porta is a jokester by definition. Even in the most inappropriate times and places, Porta always cracks a joke. Whether people laugh or not is irrelevant, he does it because it's a part of who he is.

He also has romantic feelings towards Patema. He feels jealous when he sees how close Patema has gotten to Age. He doesn't know that there is nothing romantic between them. Much to his credit however, his jealousy never causes him to show hatred towards Age. He is kind to him and is willing to help him. His feelings motivate him to protect Patema, even under the most dangerous circumstances. He even openly admits to having a crush on her at the end of the film.
