Origins: The Child Who Aged Sideways

Kronos was born twice.

The first birth was ordinary – into Aeonreach, a city build around observatories and water-clocks, where scholars believed time was a river that could be charted if one learned to read its eddies. The second birth occurred twelve years later, when Kronos stepped out of a moment that had not finished happening.

As a child, he aged inconsistently. Some years passed without touching him; others collapsed into a single season. His parents learned not to celebrate birthdays – only continuities. When Kronos laughs, clocks nearby stuttered. When he slept, dreams replayed as déjà vu across the city.

Tutors discovered his gift early: Kronos did not see the future.

He sensed pressure in the present, the way time strained toward certain outcomes.

He learned to map time not as a line, but as woven fabric – threads crossing, fraying, knotting. Pull one too hard, and centuries tear.

By adolescence, Kronos could step aside from the flow for a heartbeat. By adulthood, he could stand still while history rushed past – at terrible cost.

The Hourglass Paradox

Kronos drew the attention of the Veiled Circle after preventing a catastrophe no one else remembered.

A failed ritual fractured a day into recursive loops. The world survived only because Kronos entered the break and removed the cause before it existed. When the Conclave arrived, they found records contradicting themselves and a man who remembered versions of reality that no longer appplied.

His initiation rite, The Hourglass Paradox, required Kronos to witness the Conclave’s destruction across seventeen possible futures – then return to the present without attempting to change a single one.

He succeeded.

That restraint earned him his seat.

Role Within the Conclave

As Temporal Mage, Kronos:

• Monitors temporal anomalies caused by prophecy, divine interference, or reckless magic
• Maps branching futures and identifies convergence points
• Seals unstable timelines before they infect the present
• Advises the Conclave on actions that would fracture causality

His craft includes:

• Temporal Anchors that prevent history from rewriting itself
• Chrono-Wards that dampen time distortion near artifacts
• Selective Forgetting, allowing the world to shed doomed futures

Kronos does not correct time lightly.

Every intervention costs him memories – sometimes entire lifetimes.

Connection to the Zuwa Lineage

The Zuwa bloodline behaves anomalously in temporal space.

Where most lives follow probability curves, the Zuwa line produces temporal blind spots – moments the future refuses to finalize. Kronos first noticed this generations ago, when Zuwa descendants survived events that should have been fixed points.

Bramwell Zuwa is precedented.

In Kronos’ maps, Bramwell appears not as a node – but as a gap. Futures refuse to resolve around him. Timelines bend close, then slide away, as if unwilling to commit.

Kronos once attempted to observe Bramwell’s end.

He failed.

Not because it was hidden – but because time had not agreed on it yet.

Since then, Kronos has taken extraordinary measures to prevent temporal tampering around Bramwell. No prophecy, loop, or preemptive correction is permitted near him.

Some loves must remain unmeasured.

Relationship Within the Conclave

• Aegis coordinates seals when time fractures threaten the vaults
• Bellatrix exploits minor time-lag illusions for infultration
• Cassandra shares visions that may or may not belong to this timeline
• Dionysus stabilizes members after temporal dislocation
• Erytheia archives discarded futures Kronos collapses
• Fenris tracks anomalies by following disrupted seasons
• Galene soothes those haunted by lives they remember but never lived
• Helios cauterizes time-scars that refuse to heal
• Ianthe carries messages across moments that should not connect
• Juno advises which temporal knowledge must remain unread

Kronos believes the Conclave’s true duty is not control – but patience.

Doctrine

"Time is not broken.
It is cautious.
Every future is a question -
and some answers must wait."

Kronos fears one future above all:

A day when Bramwell Zuwa chooses freely –

and time, unable to predict him, must finally follow.

When that moment comes, Kronos of the Time Weavers will stand aside – not to stop it, but to make sure nothing breaks trying to keep up.
