Anankhe

"Time is kinda like a river. An infinitely long river. It meanders, splits, and converges. You can't break the river, you can't control the river, and you definitely can't stop it. The only difference between you and me is that I have a boat" - Anankhe the Lucid
Anankhe, the Infinite, the Multitudinous, Strider of Time, is an Eternity Construct, who for many millennia was bound to the Shrouded Continent. It is known as a guardian of time and fate.
Anankhe has the ability to split into many smaller versions of itself, and also is one of the only creatures in the world with the ability to travel through time, and cross timelines. Over the millennia Anankhe has split innumerable times, and spread across uncountable timelines, leading to many different versions of itself being spread across time and space.
Despite these legendary abilities, each version of Anankhe only bears a fragment of its power and mind. Many of the smaller versions are nothing but mindless beasts. However, even divided so many times, a fraction of Anankhe's power is still very formidable. Some versions of Anankhe have gone mad from things they have witnessed at the fringes of time.
Anankhe is constructed from a strange smooth material that no craftsman could identify. It has a vaguely insectoid appearance, seemingly constructed from layers of complex carapace. It has multiple glowing blue eyes, the number of which is usually indicative of how much this version has split. These eyes are said to contain the power and memories of Anankhe. The original Anankhe was said to have something like twenty eyes. Many versions of Anankhe cross time and space searching for other versions of themselves, attempting to regain their memories. However, often they gain the memories from other timelines.
The result is that most versions of Anankhe are either confused time travelers, or maddened beasts with terrifying magical capabilities.
=== Background ===
The following is an account from Anankhe the Historian, one of the few versions of Anankhe to recall its own creation. As an Eternity Construct, Anankhe was created at the dawn of life by the Astral Dragon, in an area of the world that would come to be called the Shrouded Continent. Anankhe was then tasked by the Astral Dragon to be a guardian of time and fate; responsible for preventing mortals or the Unspeakable Ones from meddling with time, and if such events were to occur, it was responsible for fixing timelines. It was also originally tasked with preventing disasters and things that would ruin the Astral Dragon's plan, however as it split and lost its memories, its capacity to prevent these disasters dwindled.
