Old Timer, a guardian deity of the Land of Time, oversees the timeline to preserve historical integrity by countering disruptions. He created the Time Shifters as allies in maintaining temporal stability until the Dark Lord scattered them across history, prompting Old Timer to establish the 25th-century Time Police. Flint Hammerhead became his key agent, chosen for his bond with Getalong, the first recovered Time Shifter.

Bound to the Land of Time, Old Timer directs missions through intermediaries like Dr. Bernard Goodman and Jillian Gray, offering guidance and tools. His enigmatic floating pig companion—capable of launching dumplings from its snout—aids travel within his realm and interacts with Flint during critical junctures, including his awakening after defossilization. This creature’s nature remains unclear, though similarities to corrupted Time Shifters during the Dark Lord’s attack suggest a potential link.

In manga narratives, Old Timer’s influence extends through Z•Z, an elderly tracker of Time Shifters preceding Flint’s recruitment. He recognizes the Dark Lord as a fellow deity governing an opposing domain, their shared origins acknowledged but their dynamic undefined. Strategically, he steers events by indirectly shaping Petra Fina’s path toward villainy, ensuring Flint’s destined clash with the Dark Lord.

Balancing optimism with pragmatism, Old Timer trusts humanity’s dual potential for creation and ruin. He intervenes sparingly, empowering agents like Flint while observing outcomes. Post-Dark Lord’s defeat, he resumes vigilant timeline oversight, neutralizing lingering threats like Petra’s schemes. His legacy endures through the Time Police’s operations and the restored Time Shifters, solidifying his role as a detached yet indispensable architect of temporal order.
