As a traveler, Porteek visited as far south as Yammoe. He has sections in volume II, dedicated to [[Gantolia]], but it is not clear whether he has ever been there. Due to his extensive travels, intimate acquaintance with various cultures and proficiency in several forms of [[bukk|asdoh]], it is not exactly clear where he was born, but it is generally assumed that he was from somewhere in Asdoh. The spelling of his last name, as well as his ability to travel, gives away his noble background: he was clearly a wealthy individual.

Based on his writing, he is speculated to have died very early in the 2nd [[CSR]], as his last chapters describe events in the end of the 1st [[CSR]], most notably the rule of [[Gened]], and never betray knowledge of anything beyond 105 [[SR]].

Porteek's writing is noted for careful analysis and his focus on considering several explanations, listing his sources and providing reasoning around their reliability. In this he is usually contrasted with [[Ludoh]], who was a more prolific author of the era, but whose sources are rarely listed and who tends to state hypotheses as fact. None of Porteek's sources have survived, but the list of sources is at the very least helpful to realize the extent of early Tarnarian literature that was lost, most probably due to the spread of [[Mōroh]].
