Ouroboros

The Pilgrim is a rank held by lower level Menders of Ouroboros. The role is to guide potentials in the ways of time travel and the Ouroboros.

Twilight's Son is the last of his race. The Kheldians have been wiped out and used as a source of energy to power the ships of a deadly alien force in the far distant future. Twilight's Son looks upon our time like it is a thing of make believe. Though distant and somewhat removed from humanity, he is filled with an overwhelming hope that anything is possible. He looks out upon this world and can see no other outcome but success.

Mender Lazarus is a time traveler who lost his sense of continuity long ago. He's from the time 7740 AD and in an attempt to find the ideal temporal node to effect the greatest change, Lazarus has sacrificed some of himself. Of all the Ouroboros, he has time traveled the most, but does not doubt or regret his decision to do so. He is still a brilliant scientist and historian, even though his sense of cause and effect might be reversed.

He's often distracted by phantom visions of possibility, prone to ramble off facts that aren't yet true or events that never actually happened. Mender Lazarus is so close to the edge of his time tether, that he can practically SEE the abyss. To prevent complete insanity, Lazarus wears protective oculars of Mender Silos' design to help filter out the shadow possibilities.

Ouroboros' ability to time travel is entirely the work of the brilliant futurist, Mender Silos. He was the one who founded the group, brought its members back in time and is attempting to save everything. He is a stoic leader who seems to have the ability to look right through people as if they weren't there. The other members of Ouroboros say that this is because when Mender Silos looks a you he sees every 'when' you ever were and will be.

Silos speaks little of his own time, only to say it is a cold, dark place where all that is living is too quickly burning out.
