Time Agent: Divinity

***Time Agent*** is a British science-fiction web series created by Jaime Carroll and Billy Treacy. It was initially produced as a loosely connected fan-film for *Doctor Who* but moved towards an original storyline. They are a Manchester-based production.

The series underwent a hiatus in 2012 and returned in 2019 with a fourth series, ***Time Agent: Divinity***, using archived footage from 2011-2013. Carroll explained over Instagram, "Production initially ran between 2011-13 but was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. We decided in early 2018 to bring Time Agent back". Fovvs (credited as Andy Fowler) played the deuteragonist, Gabriel Messinger, who is part of the newly assembled Time Agency led by their team leader, Agent Mortis (Carroll).

The first three series and their spin-offs were produced by Well Billt Productions, and the fourth series by the new production company, Vision X Productions. Initially the fourth season was planned to have six episodes, and now consist of three.

## Synopsis

Agent Mortis must rebuild a team to combat the latest alien threats.

## Background

On 29 December 2019, the first episode of the fourth series was released to YouTube, entitled "A Traveller from an Antique Land". It marks as Fowler's first appearance, and takes place eighteen months after Series 3, which has left time cracks in Dartchester City, allowing for anything to enter through. His character is somewhat enigmatic, intelligent, and engages in witty repartee. His official character biography states: "A sharp shooter, Gabriel covers the team from a distance. But there's more to him than meets the eye. Just what is he hiding? And does he even know himself?"

On 9 February 2020, the second episode was published, followed by a two-year delayal of the concluding episode due to COVID-19. The third and final episode was scheduled to be uploaded on 31 October, which had to be pushed back, attributed to technical difficulties. They explained in their official statement of "clearance for music; completely large-scale VFX; and additional dialogue". Along with this, the forthcoming episode would be the longest, with the duration of over fifty minutes. It was released at the end of the year on 31 December 2022, titled "A Shattered Visage", where Messinger turns out to have supernatural abilities, is nonhuman, and dies. The third episode also revealed information of each team member, where Messinger's role was "Cover and Support". It continued:

>
> Gabriel Messinger joined the Time Agent team by [REDACTED]. This led to Agent Mortis hiring him for his skills in long-range cover and support. His role is to provide back-up to the team on missions. Gabriel has never reported sick and boasts a 100% attendance rate. His family situation is unknown but Agent Mortis has formally granted him anonymity.

Fovvs acknowledged the series over one of his Twitch livestreams, along with the 2012 student film, *I*, which he starred in. In a 2020 interview with radio station WCBG, he mentioned that he wanted to become an actor or a singer, and chose to focus on the latter as his career.
