The Gatekeeper

**Anum** is the ancient Gatekeeper of The Multiverse, and the Lucidness Realm's God of Time. He was the first person who came into contact with alternate universes and other versions of himself. When some of these versions attempted to conquer other realities, a Multiversal War ensued, which Anum ended by eradicating his multiversal counterparts. He dedicated his life to guarding the multiverse to preserve the Prime Universe and prevent the rise of his counterparts. Residing at the Multiverse Gateway under The Gatekeeper's Temple for eons, He eventually made a deal with Satou, the Commander of the Prime Universe, which meant that he would shift the multiverse to the Commander's will, in exchange for armour and to be released in case the Ancients imprison him.

## **Biography**

#### **Banishment**

The Ancient Council banished The Gatekeeper for his continued interactions with other entities. Anum came to hate the Ancient Council for abandoning the rest of life, and the Council despised Anum's theatrics. While the other ancients decided not to interact with any other entity, The Gatekeeper continued to do so.

### **Multiversal War**

While living in the Ancient Heliopolis, Anum discovered the existence of the Multiverse, consisting of alternate universes and alternate versions of himself. One of these versions, a Kurlon Commander in the 31st century, caused them to meet each other and share their knowledge and technology. However, some of his versions saw the alternate universes as places to rule over, thus starting the Multiversal War. After creating the Multiverse Gate, The Gatekeeper harnessed its power and ended the war. Isolating a collection of realities who followed the same baseline, collection later named the Prime Universe.

### **Sealed Away**

The Gatekeeper agreed to open a wormhole for the Kurlon to bomb Ashton. Doing this, The Gatekeeper knew that he would be punished by the Ancients and told The Commander to free him. As The Gatekeeper manipulated the Prime Universe to allow the Kurlon to enter, he slowly disintegrated as he was imprisoned by the Ancient's spell.
