Old Man

The “Old Man” is a mysterious old man, possibly from another dimension.
==Description==
Originally a humble cobbler, the course of this old man's life was changed when he fell through a Rift one day. He ended up in a hub-world shimmering with Rifts, portals to various other worlds. Too afraid of where he might end up with a second trip, he stayed in that hub-world ever since, finding an uninhabited, run-down house waiting for him. It contained books on dimensional theory with which to keep himself busy and study to understand his predicament — and he happened to have been holding a few young tomato plants when he was transported away from his home, giving him a source of food.
Over the years, the Old Man learned to create Dimensional Prisms which could contain Rifts or even stabilize an entire dimension, but was unable to use the latter by himself. It was only in 2019, with the help of Tracker-764 of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, who'd ended up in the same universe as him after falling through a different Rift, that he was able to complete this task. He then finally found the courage to step through another portal. Ironically, he ended up in the Cupid Homeworld, where he encountered Larrikin-1029 and Dandy-432, who offered to help him find his way back home in Pessimist's Fog Ship.
== Behind the scenes ==
The Old Man first appeared in 2019's The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane.
