The technology within kept him alive, but in order to allow him to continue "the war", it forced him to kill people for over five thousand years, draining the energy from his victims to sustain himself. He remained within the vicinity of a "scroll", which was in fact the flag under which he had fought. Eventually, his time-withered form, wrapped in the bandages originally used to heal his wounds, was confused for a [[mummy]], and came to be referred to as "the Foretold". | ||
The Foretold killed his victims by moving them out of phase, synchronizing them with his own phase level, a process which took exactly sixty-six seconds, during which time the victim - and ''only'' the victim - could see and interact with him. After precisely sixty-six seconds, the Foretold placed his hands on the victim's temples, draining their energy, and they dropped dead, seemingly of a [[heart attack]] which was in reality a side effect of the energy drain. Driven by some remaining scrap of the soldier's mind, the Foretold selected his victims based on physical and mental illness, preying on the weakest first so that the strong could survive.
