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.

This doesn't make any sense to me. My readings tell me that your Temporal Scaling isn't strong enough yet to support the mission I had planned for you. But you've already done the mission. I know. I was there.
Alright, then that means that I'm talking to a you that is not yet you, well 'my' you. Here's what you need to do. Take a look around and get to know this place. I don't know how you got here but remember it. Burn it into your mind, because at some point in your future, say when you're around level 30, I'm going to need you to come back here and help me. You have to remember that. Come back. Now good luck and watch out for that abyss behind you. There's no coming back from that.

From The Pilgrim: Join Ouroboros
Once free: Just like old times, eh?
If refound: I hate deja vu. Occupational hazard.
Etymology[]
Lazarus Long was a character in Robert Heinlein books. He was fond of kilts, and was part of the Circle of Oroboros, and traveld through time/space.
Lazarus is the name of a man who was raised from the dead by Jesus in the New Testament of the Bible, as recounted in the book of John 11:41-44.
The gospel of Luke also has a Lazarus, sometimes conflated with John's but generally regarded as a separate character.
