iblings

Originally, there were meant to be two immortal brothers in the Valiant Comics Universe - Gilad, the Eternal Warrior and Aram the other, better known as Armstrong. Each is older than recorded history although Gilad is the elder by two years. It was later revealed, in Archer and Armstrong/Eternal Warrior #8 (The Musketeers Special) that there was a third brother, Ivar, who was the eldest.

Fictional Character Biography

Like his brothers, Ivar is immortal, ages very slowly, is exceptionally strong and fast, and is able heal quickly. However, he also has the unique ability to sense "time arcs" that allow him to pass from one time period to another but he has no control over what time period the "time arcs" will take him to. He travels these arcs as often as he can, searching for the arc that will lead him back to ancient Egypt and the woman he loves.

Because he has no control over what time period the time arcs take him, Ivar could be in the future one day and the past the next.

Ivar has become involved in many historical periods, such as a 1950's era re-telling of the story of Moses.

Harbinger Wars

The events of the Harbinger Wars, first put into motion in the Harbinger series and later shown briefly in Rai #0, are fully documented in Timewalker. In Timewalker issues #6-8 Ivar finds himself in the middles of the Harbinger Wars. Having seen the future devastation he tries to recruit Faith Herbert aka Zeppelin to talk the renegades out of war but she only exacerbates things by calling for the renegades to take the battle to Toyo Harada.
