Also known as: Zach, original looper, the Controller
The original looper and official Controller of the time loop, who struggles with precise magic but excels at raw power.
He remains surprisingly calm when learning Red Robe has left the time loop, but loses his temper quickly when stonewalled by the Guardian or unfairly sabotaged by Xvim.
Learns he possesses his original soul, visits Zorian's home in Cirin, drops his mental shields to build trust, and is subjected to Xvim's marble test.
“Maybe I’m a little biased, since my family all died and I wish I actually had a family… but I honestly can’t figure out your animosity for them.”
“Why was such a rule put into place? I mean, there is only one Controller to begin with, so why put that sort of limitation in place?”
“If one of the copies wanted to leave this place, you could switch their soul with that of the original?”
“Scattered across vast distances. And if the Maker is a god like you suspect he is, well… the gods have been silent for centuries. That only leaves his agents. Who would that be?”
