Gerald Rowan

Gerald Rowan (1957-1999), also known as Javier, Mac, Tyler and George, was a human being.

Gerald Rowan
Gerald was a largely uninteresting man who for some reason attracted the attention of the Ancients. In particular, the Chronicler. Before the Chronicler was lost, he gave the name Gerald Rowan to the Guardian. The Guardian went back to Gerald, and gave him the Temporal Matrix. For his part, the Guardian believed that Gerald was capable of completing the prophecy and allowing the gates to the halfway universe to be opened again. Gerald completed recording histories the Chronicler hadn't the time to, until his discovery of some secret which led to his assassination by the Unspoken Ones.

Death
Gerald Rowan may not have been a follower of Norman, but something he found drove him to a frenzy. He alerted the Guardian and caught a flight to Asia from across the Pacific Ocean after an attack on his place of work by two Unspoken Ones. The hit failed thanks to his possessing secret defenses, but unbeknownst to him the plane he boarded was sabotaged. He never reached his destination. The plane crashed on Katroiris and Gerald died. As he bled out, a Tempest Warlock soul plunged into his body. It tapped the time radiation in his system and saved his life by turning the body into a fresh baby. The child was raised by the native FomRishi until it's rescue. The Guardian lost his trail there and continued searching for him until his death.

Disrupted Timeline
Gerald was born thousands of years after Lucien defeated Wrane and Ayahk. Guided by the Blaubist, Gerald came to the tomb of the dragonlords. Gerald's encyclopedic knowledge of the original universe came in from his exposure to the Temporal Matrix. He discovers the dragonlord's tomb was built atop the mound where the Ravager and Zach Dawson used the S'cha-ckl'ueu Arc. He touches the central pillar, which connects him to the Arc, and he sees that beyond Thogros, the dragonlords live still. Pulled through the portal during the Ghost Crisis, they persist outside the universe. The Sean Clements communicates to Gerald and the Blaubist, informing them there is a way to undo this all, and it involves the Impossible Machines. A hole in the fabric of reality forms, and Gerald reaches through to clasp Sean Clements's hand so as to pull him through. They come closer, closer, then grab each other.
