Ansel, Timehacker No. 006. His job is to help the other Timehackers put together stronger combat setups. As far as anyone knows, he's never shown any real fighting ability, and yet he still moves through different timelines with confidence. What he's truly capable of is still a mystery.
Before he became a Timehacker, Ansel worked for NDS in Timeline 1023, where he led the Authority decryption project and eventually developed Authority Code. Later, he was caught in an explosion. Badly wounded and close to death, he was brought to the Null Void by Silver.
NDS exists in every timeline, and in every one, it helps shape the course of the world. It started out as a small security company called NDL, focused on hardware and software protection. But a little over ten years after the HIEROS-I disaster began, it expanded at breakneck speed and eventually became a global giant. There's no doubt its rise is deeply connected to HIEROS-I...
Ansel excels at analyzing and processing data, then distilling it into streamlined, abstract systems of logic. What truly fascinates him, however, is machinery. The mechanical arm mounted on his back was an invention from his student days—and the beginning of his career as a researcher.
Ansel needs almost no sleep, perhaps his most unsettling gift. Every so often, he suddenly falls silent and his gaze drifts out of focus. Staring into space like this is his usual way of resting.
