Information
Mender of the Ourboros
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.

Etymology
Lazarus is the name of the old man who was raised from the dead by Jesus in the New Testament of the Bible, and is recounted in the book of John 11:41-44.
However, Mender Lazarus is more likely a reference to Lazarus Long, a character in several of Robert A. Heinlein's novels including Methuselah's Children and Time Enough For Love. In Heinlein's novels, Lazarus Long is the oldest human in existence, a time traveler, and rather fond of wearing kilts, a trait Mender Lazarus shares.
