Due to being on opposing sides, Temple would secretly meet with Biff late at night on several occasions to catch up and remain friends. During one meet up. Biff would reveal that he plans on faking a medical discharge in order to return home to see his girlfriend, Georgina, who is pregnant. While uncomfortable with the idea, Temple agreed to help him, planning to use the next battle; a game of capture the flag to send Biff home. However the battle also include two freelancers: Carolina and Texas, whose rivalry resulted in Biff getting impaled with Blue Team's flag. Temple then grieved as he and the other sim-troopers watch Biff die, while the former develops a fear of blood.

Angered by the Freelancer's ignorance toward Biff's death, Temple soon became suspicious of the program's sudden neglection by 2554. Seeking answers, he along with Blue Team and Red Team travelled to the Freelancer Offsite Storage Facility. After witnessing the fight between the Reds and Blues, Team RWBY, and Team JNPR against Epsilon-Tex, they made contact with FILSS and discovered the true nature of the simulation outposts. Feeling betrayed by the very government he lived under, Temple put all his anger regarding Freelancer onto the UNSC, seeing it as the reason why Biff was killed. Returning to Desert Gulch, he and peers formed the Blues and Reds, a terrorist organization with the goal of bringing the UNSC to its knees. For the next few months, Temple convinced to the remaining simulation outposts and their troops to join his cause, eventually all remaining simulation troopers joining him, save for the Reds and Blues.

By mid 2555, the Blues and Reds began their war against the UNSC, with the Reds and Blues being drawn into the conflict. Temple and his team were defeated, resulting in the deaths of Loco and Surge respectively, and Temple and the rest of the Blues and Reds being imprisoned by the UNSC. Sometime later, Temple and his peers were transferred to Chorus, where the former often clashed with Samuel Ortez. During his time in prison, Temple also learned that he was now being targeted by Atlus Arcadium Rex and the Cosmic Powers for nearly disrupting the timeline due to his actions. Months later, he would be visited by the Reds and Blues twice, first to retrieve Locus and second when visiting with RWBY and JNPR of Universe AC-2.

Later, while he and Blues and Reds were being transferred via ship, Arthur Watts and Tyrian Callows would break the crew out of prison. Taking them to Remnant AC-2, Temple struck and deal with Salem and her Inner Circle, bringing what remained of his organization and even Charon Industries former pirates in his service. After witnessing the resurrection of the Meta and Isaac Gates into Grimm hybrids, Temple became interested in Salem's witchcraft, and began plotting to overthrow her. This mission would put him at odds with his peers, resulting in them turning their back on him. Temple would be successful taking down Salem, transferring her powers to himself, taking control of the Grimm, lead an invasion of Universe AC-1, while also reviving Surge, Loco, and Biff. But Temple was ultimately stopped, stripped of his power, and fatally shot by the latter during an altercation with the Reds and Blues. His body fell into his portal.

Due to Temple's action in causing chaos in the Multiverse, he would unknowingly catch the attention of Abeloth, a Force-entity trapped within the Void. Capturing him, Abeloth turned Temple into an indoctrinate Force phantom; an extension of her herself, to serve as her servant following the death of Raymond Warren. As Abeloth's new slave, Temple was tasked in hunting Jedi Knight Ezra Bridger and Mandalorian Sabine Wren of Universe AC-4, who were trapped in the Void after preventing Abeloth from entering their universe. He would chase them for about a month, until the two were saved by Spider-Man and Iron Man. Returning to his master emptyhanded, Abeloth then sent Temple to Universe AC-8 to hunt down Ladybug.
