Thenorius Ingvald

Thenorius Ingvald is the esteemed leader of the Vortex Corps, a specialized organization designed to manage anomalies triggered by time vortexes. This 80-year-old Norwegian visionary has been at the helm of the organization through some of its most defining moments and is currently its oldest active member.

## Early Life and Introduction to the Corps

Thenorius Ingvald was born in a small town in Norway, showing an early interest in the mysteries of time and space. As a young scholar, he became one of the first students to major in chronophysics, a field that was in its infancy during his university years. His groundbreaking research in the field soon caught the attention of the newly formed Vortex Corps, and he was invited to join their ranks as a Bookkeeper - an essential role dedicated to the theoretical understanding and documentation of time anomalies.

## Early Years in the Corps and Relationships

As a Bookkeeper, Thenorius formed close relationships with several other members of the Corps. He often worked with Lucille Dubois, a Frontliner from France whose courage in the face of unknown temporal anomalies was only matched by Thenorius's intellectual rigor. He also shared a close bond with Arturo Gomez, a fellow Bookkeeper from Mexico, and together, they pioneered several new techniques in vortex containment.

Perhaps one of the most significant relationships formed during his years in the Corps was with a young orphan, Mikhail Vasichenko. Thenorius met Mikhail in Moscow in 1998, where he had been recruited into the Corps at the age of 13 due to his remarkable innate understanding of time anomalies. Seeing potential in the boy, Thenorius took him under his wing, and the two formed a deep bond that transcended their professional roles.

## Middle Life and Marriage

In 1972, Thenorius married Clara Steinsfield, a brilliant mathematician who shared his passion for unraveling the complexities of time. Their union proved to be not just a personal bond but a powerful intellectual partnership that yielded several critical insights into the behavior of vortexes.

## Pivotal Actions and Late Life

### Athens, 1963

The first major vortex Thenorius was involved with occurred in Athens in 1963. This vortex had created a temporal loop, trapping parts of the city in an endless cycle of the same hour. Using his understanding of temporal mechanics, Thenorius devised a plan to synchronize the loop with real-time, effectively diluting the vortex's influence and freeing the city.

### Belfast, 1985

The Belfast vortex of 1985 was unique in that it didn't just displace time, but also space, causing buildings and landmarks to shift positions randomly. To counter this, Thenorius and his team had to develop a new form of spatial anchoring, holding the city's structures in place while they worked on closing the vortex.

### Nairobi, 2001

In Nairobi, 2001, a vortex emerged that interacted oddly with local wildlife, causing accelerated growth in flora and fauna. Thenorius utilized a time-dilating device, carefully calibrated to gradually slow down and reverse the acceleration effect before finally closing the vortex.

## Late Life and Current Role

Now, as the oldest member and leader of the Vortex Corps, Thenorius continues to lend his expertise to the investigation and closure of time vortexes. His marriage with Clara remains strong, and together they continue to advance the field of chronophysics.

His current challenge lies in the unprecedented vortex that has opened at the Notre Dame School in Passo Fundo, Brazil. If history serves as an indicator, Thenorius Ingvald's sagacity will undoubtedly prove invaluable in facing this new anomaly.
