Complications:
Age - Tim is almost 1000 years old, but looks like he is in his 70's. He has the physical amd social limitations that are normal at the latter age.
Disability - Due to his extreme age, parts of Tim's body don't work as well as they used to. His legs are locked up, making him hobble and walk like a man on his knees.
Enemies - The Followers of Germanicus are actively hunted by B.A.D.A.S.S.
Relationships - The Oldest Man is grandfather to Harvey and Lyle, as well as having hundreds of decendants throughout the millennia. In spite of their old age, Tim also has a thing for Big Mamma. He would sell all of them out in a heartbeat (and has done so in the past) if he thought it would get him further ahead.
Seller of Souls - The Followers of Germanicus have made pacts with a devil to gain power.

Background: During the reign of Edward the Confessor, one of the original 13 copies of the Germanicus Manuals was discovered by the royal priests. Not knowing what they had found, they set about translating it, only discovering what they had as they worked. Upon the discovery, they were about to destroy it until one of the acolytes stole it and took refuge in the wilderness. He was supported by the most unlikely of allies; the king's dwarven jester, who he was secretly teaching to read. Therefore, it came as a great surprise to the acolyte when the jester killed him in his sleep and stole the tomes.

Enacting the rituals found within the book and dutifully continuing to translate and distribute it to others, the jester made his deal with Der Nacht to continue his tasks through time, aging very, very slowly. He was present in Salem, Massechusets when good women began getting tried and condemned for witchcraft, hiding as one of the Reverends overseeing the proceeds. His presence continued in time, keeping to the background but relehing in the crimes humanity committed against their fellow man. And when parahumans came into existence, he used his pact to start amassing a new kind of power.

Today, he is known as Tim Tudball, and he is The Oldest Man.

Wagoneer was created and designed by Jim Caswell. He is an NPC.
