Chrono Chronos

The Chronologist

"Let me set the scene. Before we ask what happened, we must ask when — and how that "when" sits next to everything else that was happening at the same moment."

Chrono carries the great hourglass of Epoch. He's obsessed with parallel timelines: what was happening in China while Rome rose? What was the Moon doing when humans first walked? He aligns the world.
