Infodump
Tired of being treated as an enemy for exploring alchemy, Infidel opened a portal to the 36th century where the Earth was in ruins and humanity dead. Recruiting slaves by grabbing people from major disasters (Pompeii, the Black Plague, the Titanic), he built an empire for himself.
When Samaritan changed the timestream in 1986, Infidel's future was changed. He has since repeatedly used his abilities to go back in time and try to restore the "paradise" he had made. Infidel and Samaritan have battled many, many times, Samaritan always restoring all changes to time and reality to their current state, while Infidel always manages to escape.
Eventually, they realized that neither could defeat the other and settled on a truce. Infidel now lives in a palace outside this time stream and he and Samaritan meet once a year, each attempting to persuade the other to his point of view.
Speculations, Observations and Theories
Will Infidel be tempted by his longing for intellectual stimulation to go after Gretchen Hastings and break the fragile truce once more?
While Samaritan is unlikely to ever succumb to Infidel's point of view, will Samaritan ever grow weary enough that his resistance to Infidel will finally fail?
