Edward Athor

Edward Reuel Athor, or just simply E.R. Athor, is the deuteragonist of No Time and the protagonist of Edward’s Sewer Adventure. He's a scientist, the colleague of PC and one of the inventors of the original time machine.

Initially, he and the protagonist worked together at Manhofer Testing Grounds to develop the time machine, but due to the raid of the Time Agents, they both had to abandon the facility and split up from each other, leaving the time machine vehicle to PC. It's not until the 2010's, PC and Edward reunite with each other. Before Edward recognizing his old friend, he had the protagonist do his errands for him. Eventually, their actions have caused Crimson, Edward's rival, to make a move and alter the timeline twice. Feeling guilty for inventing the time machine, Edward had decided, after undoing all timeline alterations, to destroy the time machine, before it falls to the bad hands again.

In 2034, he becomes the mayor of Pine City.

Alpha Timeline
On August 21st, 1971 at 10:23 AM, a 14 year old Edward can be seen walking into the sewers of Pine Lake. The events of Edward’s Sewer Adventure take place (though in No Time you cannot see him once he enters the sewers).

In 1984, Edward built the Time Machine and made PC test it.

On June 7th, 1989, Young Edward closes down his facility due to the time agents stealing his blueprints for the Dimension Box.

On May 11th, 2004, you can see Edward test out his weather machine if PC gave the brass clock back to his ancestor in 1795 during the Lost Clock quest.

In 2005, Edward opened up his Laboratory. Its holographic sign is put up later in 2011.

Around 2014, PC can reunite with Edward after escaping with the time machine in 1984. Edward sends PC on a series of quests, which if completed, eventually culminate in them being captured by time agents and being taken to 2019 in the beta timeline. Because of this, the following events in this section will not happen to this version of Edward: continue on to for this version of Edward.

As Mayor of Pine City
On August 15th, 2034 at 10:00 AM, Edward gets elected mayor over what is left of Pine Lake and holds a speech outside the courthouse in which he founds Pine City. On August 15th, 2038 he also runs for a second term, and is reelected as Pine City's mayor on October 15th, 2038 in a landslide victory with 97% of the votes.

In 2042, an 85 year old Edward gives over his title of mayor. He makes a last journey to France to spend his last years at the emperors palace. His friend Jason Conner gets elected mayor in his stead.

By March 28th, 2048, Edward has grown very sick. Mayor Connor and company travel to France to visit him and the king. Edward dies on April 11th, 2048. In 2 years of his death, a statue in his honor is built in the plaza level of Pine City's courthouse in order to remember who the greatest mayor of Pine City was.

Beta Timeline
It is unknown what happened to the Edward native to this timeline. Micheal and Jason don't seem to recognize Edward in 2019. However, Erathor has said that Edward and PC may have been publicly executed or escaped off-island.

The Edward from the alpha timeline is transported into the beta timeline's 2019 after being captured by time agents at the end of Act 1, along with PC. They manage to break out of the prison they are being held in and reach the undercity where they are welcomed. They then break into Tower 1 and retrieve the Time Machine.

Edward and PC travel to November 20th, 1945 to rescue prisoners being held at Fort Dun. While there, Edward steals a portable time machine. Edward uses it to transport the recused prisoners, Clint Westwood and Henry Philas, to 33 AD, where he organized a base of operations.

Before PC arrives on April 3rd, 33 AD, Edward had departed to another time period. Edward ends up stuck in different time period(s) for "about a year or more" before returning to 33 AD.

Gamma Timeline
Much of Athor's life is the same as his Alpha Timeline counterpart, up until 1980. In 1980 when Edward was 23, he opened his Laboratory instead of opening it in 2005. Gamma Edward works part time with Crimson till PC tell him he is evil and is manipulating him for his knowledge in the Aurora Quest.

Alpha-Pizza Timeline
Much of Athor's life is the same as his Alpha Timeline Counterpart up until 1989. In June 7th, 1989, When Edward was 32, His Super Microwave exploded in his face, causing him to lose all of his memories until the start of 2027 (that's what I found out in the public test branch before the update came out), turning into a pizza chef. In 2005, his laboratory is opened as a pizza shop. In 2014, Edward and Francesco begin some kind of pizza war because of PC (The war didn't start, because they didn't start attacking each other). In 2034, you'll see Edward become mayor and alternatively makes a PIZZA EMPIRE, he still founds Pine City though. In 2039, A Pizza shop was built but alternatively, Francesco was replaced with Edward's very own Pizza Master. In 2050, Edward's statue was made but alternatively, they built it with Edward wearing his pizza chef clothes and his chef hat.
