Bio: Well through hefty research I have uncovered another of the fabled Brothers Grimm, a man that is referred to as Father Time. This runner has been working behind the scenes for many years, and his impact can be felt all across the nation and from sea to sea. Herbert Yates once served in military intelligence of the old America and was an agent of the Mossad, this meant that he was sent after all the enemies of Israeli and America throughout the years. He has had his hands deep, within our national security and was involved in counter intelligence.

         From the records I have this man went rogue shortly after the Great Ghost Dance and slipped away into the shadowy night, during those days he was working in Washington D.C and was in the know as to what was going on within the political world as he was the great gate keeper for the mighty ivory tower. Herman vanished shortly after War Zone assassinated the President and his staff, records of the time dictate that he was given orders to track down and bring the assassin to justice. This is when Herbert answered with hail of gunfire and setting the server room for the Central Intelligence agencies computers banks to explode, thus the eradication of many of their records and rendering the intelligence agency blind for a short time till back up drives came online. This also killed countless agents and technicians when the entire floor locked down and was peppered with halon gas.

         When Herman escaped he took with him countless records and documents of agents who served blindly and needed to be silenced, for the CIA, FBI and other government agencies this was a dark time in their history and won’t like the truth being exposed. But this man made damn sure that any one who wanted out and didn’t agree with the current regime had a chance to vanish. This period in our governments history was a dark time and many good agents slipped away causing great damage to our intelligence and law enforcement agencies. This is where the legend of Father Time begins on that cold day back October of 2017 only a few months after the strike of the ghost dance.

         He left the world of being a government agent and entered the shadows, this is where he continued his specialised form of terror. Though this time he was not working against the enemies of the government, he was working against those that he once called brothers and friends. He took his list of the corrupt and those who stood in the way of the truth and began cleaning house. He would move through the wind and never seemed to leave any evidence behind except a tiny hourglass, his victims would all be shrivelled and look as if they had been killed through some sort of artificial ageing process. He didn’t discriminate and when he took a victim, he removed the entire direct family line, all through this same disturbing process and they all showed no signs of physical violence and looked as if they died in a peaceful state. Though I can’t imagine dying in this manner was peaceful in anyway, he might not have killed as many people as others of his generation or bloodline through the years. But the ones he did take, where all part of his list that he compiled many years prior.

        This doesn’t mean Father Time is only targeting the people on the list, as true age, disease or violence has taken many of them. He has deemed that everyone on the list to be guilty of the ultimate sin and even there legacy needs to pay the price for the sins of their forefathers. He is also fully vested in the fight against the Native American Nations and the Elven Nations so he has plenty of work still left to do. Father Time moves like the sands through an hour glass and whenever he appears time is not on the side of his victims as they already begin to show the affects of his special form of murder. He doesn’t have a conscience and unlike the Dentist he has a specific list of targets, though his actions have made that list vanish and we can’t even warn the people for whom he has sentenced to death.

         Father Time has joined forces with the rest of his blood kin within the Brothers Grimm and has lent his skills and abilities to an already scary and impressive line up of murderous and terrorists. His true age is unknown and his actual skill set is a mystery, the only thing we know for certain about Father Time is that he is a master of the shadows and he can blend into any situation. This man is a bit of an enigma and his actions seemingly random are not without purpose, though the manner of his actions and his kills have gained the attention of law enforcement agencies world wide. Though he has been able to baffle even the best of investigators and even though his kills were obviously murder, he has forced medical examiners to sign the death certificate as cause of death natural.

         There is nobody outside his own kin that have ever seen Father Time and have survived, the only reason there is photographs at all come from when he was working for the government. These photos are well over 50 years old, so his current appearance is unknown the only reason we know he still lives is the bodies keep showing up, and he has been spotted within the Brothers Grimm thought the witness passed away while on the phone with the Police, and when the body was discovered all evidence on them had been destroyed. This man has baffled the police for generations and a vast majority of detectives consider Father Time to be nothing more then a urban legend told to scare rookie officers and a ghost story told around the camp fire during wilderness exercises.

          This assassin has returned to Seattle for the time being and it appears he is working to help the people of this fair city, though this needs to be taken with a grain of sand, this man has his own objectives and goals. Though it appears they do cross paths with Deaths Hand and HRM so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Brothers Grimm officially become a sub team of the Hand one day since the Professor is one of the hands ranking leaders and second only to Alexander. Father Times actual relation to the other Brothers Grimm is unknown but do to him being Yates and welcomed into their ranks its obvious he has some sort of blood relation to those men. This should worry every citizen of Seattle, check your family tree’s, look into your relatives work history for you might uncover something that might save your life one day, though you are only living on borrowed time from your fate and time is a fickle thing and will always catch up to you one day. Keep yourself on the move and keep your nose clean, for if Father Time can’t locate you he might just pass on by to his next victim, though remember you can never outrun time.
