Complications:
Aging - Due to the nature of using stopped time for speed acceleration, the more Kirby used the C.A.I.D., the "faster" he appeared to age. The government forced him to overuse the system and he aged months and sometimes even years during extended periods of stopped time. He joined the group at the age of 31, but has aged over 40 years in between assorted seconds.
Unwilling Hero - Kirby had been forced into becoming a super hero by governmental demands.
Resentment - Kirby was often forced to waste precious time as the team's "speedster," being told to run places instead of using normal modes of transportation when it would have made more sense to do so, just to "save time." When peace talks between Quebec and Canada began and old age had set in, however, he was retired from service. As most of these orders came from either Colonel Drapeaux or Capitaine Québec, he holds them responsible.
Vow of Deception - Like any good time-manipulator, Kirby tends to obfuscate matters of time travel when talking to laymen.

Chronométreur, The Time Keeper, in his prime Known Background: Claude "Kirby" D'hiver had been given an opporunity of a lifetime; he was invited to London to study under Neville Cranleigh. Kirby's study in Transdimensional and Time Theory had impressed the good doctor and D'hiver had been made an intern. The work being done by Cranleigh and his associate was beyond groundbreaking, and Kirby had a front row seat until the Quebec government declared itself an independent country and he was forced to return home due to the legal disputes about his visa. When he got back, he was informed that his government wanted him to use what he had learned to create a time machine... or weapon... or something that could be used in the country's defense. What he created was the C.A.I.D., but refused to show anyone how it worked. Instead, he volunteered to serve in la Société Ultrahumaine du Québec as Chronométreur.

Chronométreur was created and designed by Jim Caswell. The character is retired in the present campaign timeframe.
