At the beginning of everything, there were but deities arranging everything for the coming mortals. Boss, the deity of time, found that the job of making sure time stayed linear within their own timelines a terribly overwhelming task. In order to help, Boss experimented with creating a helper species. Agents who could correct anything that needed fixing while Boss kept an eye on time itself.

The first creation, after many a test, was Hitchcock.

Hitchcock has been around since before almost any other being. They have seen societies rise and fall, the creation of new creatures and their extinction, and have gained the admiration and praise of every other arglwydd amser in existence - despite none knowing their true history.

Being the first creation of Boss, at the time still going by Ubris, made for Hitchcock to see the deity do some.... terrible things. Things that didn't need to be done in the name of a fate that wasn't necessary. Terrible things to Boss's own creations, even letting Hitchcock's fellow arglwydd amsers die - forever lost to time. It didn't help that Hitchcock saw that seeing into time as a burden to many of the others arglwydd amsers, and many wished they weren't created as this. 

Hitchcock couldn't take it and created a rebellion, gathering the few arglwydd amsers who were around at the time in his ranks. They planned to confront Ubris, and even end the deity if Ubris wouldn't listen to reason. 

They planned and trained and were cocky. They weren't ready. All of the arglwydd amsers were slaughtered by Ubris..... Except Hitchcock.

Ubris didn't want to kill the first creation Ubris ever made. Ubris promised to let Hitchcock live. So long as Hitchcock never tried anything like this again. And never told any future arglwydd amsers what happened. The event would become a mere myth. Hitchcock, fearful for their life and horrified at seeing this all.... Accepted.

Hitchcock grew bitter, watching Ubris, now called Boss, create overly loyal arglwydd amsers. Watched Boss try to give the new arglwydd amsers freedoms that the early ones didn't have. Hitchcock took that bitterness and created a cafe. A restaurant within the time stream (what arglwydd amsers use to travel throughout time) that could be a sanctuary for the arglwydd amsers. A place for them to relax, vent, and socialize. Hitchcock couldn't rebel anymore, but they could help their fellow arglwydd amsers the best they could.

It helped that, over time, being alive so long gave Hitchcock an ability no other arglwydd amser had. See, any arglwydd amser can foresee into timelines. But, this power is limited. They cannot see events they are involved in, and are more likely to see events that are more likely to happen. Hitchcock, however, can see it all. They create predictions that, even if they do not come true, still have the echos and impressions of what could have been around. Because of this, many come to Hitchcock's bar in order to gain insight into their own future. As, it's not something they can see themselves. Hitchcock is a bit tired of having to do this, but is oblivious to it.

In fact, Hitchcock is oblivious to a lot of things now a days. Being around so long has deteriorated his mind. And, Hitchcock isn't really.... all there anymore. He's chipper, upbeat, friendly. If he does remember what happened during the rebellion, which is rare and actually brings out the old Hitchcock, he forgets it very quickly and goes back to being kind old Hitchcock. Hitchcock can be serious and comforting to those who are down, offering a sympathetic ear. But, it doesn't hurt his heart as it did when the rebellion was reliably in his mind. 

A few tidbits:

Hitchcock's eyes glow when they are predicting something. 

Their hair used to be red. 

Like all Arglwydd Amsers, Hitchcock is intersex

Gwendolyn hangs out at Hitchcock's diner a lot. They consider each other great friends. Gwendolyn is one of the few who doesn't ask Hitchcock to predict for him

Hitchcock's predictions tend to be vague

Hitchcock has a thing about blood. It isn't a phobia necessarily. But, looking at it.... Reminds him of something. 

Only Boss and Gwendolyn know of Hitchcock's rebellious past. Gwendolyn found out on accident, and feels terrible that the Hitchcock that rebelled is lost to madness. And Boss.... Boss isn't allowed in the bar. Hitchcock gets very upset when he sees Boss. Though, he can never explain why, forgetting his anger very quickly.

Hitchcock is not exempt from the rule of not foreseeing events that involve himself. However, he doesn't really leave his bar very often, living in the upstairs part of the bar. If he were to meet someone fate wanted him to be with.... He wouldn't be able to see into that person's future. Which would fascinate him to no end, cause he's used to seeing the future. 

Hitchcock really likes milkshakes, It's common for him to offer guests a milkshake if they're down.
