Lore of Eden of the Garden
Archmage Eden of the Garden was born with one crippling disability, and one incredible gift. The disability is that he was born blind. The gift is that he can travel through time as easily as an average person walks or talks or breathes. His parents were really big on a certain religion that preached of one omnipotent divine, heaven, hell, the devil, original sin, all that good stuff, hence his unusual name. He was also brought up to be devout and god-fearing, but it's hard to believe in preordained fate when you can skip back in time to undo the consequences of any action and begin anew. As he came of age, Eden shed his religious upbringing and embraced the notion that he is master of his own destiny, that there's nothing that can be done that can't also be undone.
A wise and currently dead uncle once said that with great power comes great responsibility, and Eden discovered power before he learned of responsibility. Perhaps understandably for one endowed with the gift of time, he spent a considerable portion of his early life abusing it for personal gain, hitting the reset button whenever the outcome of a particular decision wasn't to his liking. Predictably, with this ability that even the most powerful wizards envied, he gained almost everything a common man would want in this life: wealth, power, prestige. But time wasn't meant to be unraveled repeatedly like a loose thread. One day, Eden hit reset one too many times and tore a hole in the fabric of the universe. He still doesn't speak of what happened on that day, only that it was horrific, traumatic, and beyond his ability to set right. It was others who fixed his mistake, guardians of time who revealed themselves to him on that day and helped him restore order to the world. One of them still travels with him now, in the guise of an onyx wolf, as a handler of sorts: the wolf made it clear that should Eden abuse his power once more, the wolf will immediately end his life.
Having learned of responsibility, Eden is much more reserved and restrained these days. He still retains his precious mastery of time, but he only wields it when absolutely necessary, having discovered the dangers of reckless time magic. Abandoning the hedonistic lifestyle of his youth, he's learned to find fulfillment in a simple life working with his hands, currently employed as an apprentice to a renowned watch-and-clockmaker. He's shed the "Archmage" title, now going only by Eden of the Garden. One day the Forgotten Runes may call upon Eden to bring his incredible gift to bear once more, but for now, he is happy to fix your timepiece for you at a rate no competitor can match (and if they do, he will provide the service for free!).
