Before the Academy's first public appearance he ran away from home, or more appropriately ran away to the future. The future was bleak to say the least . It took him years to figure out the equation to allow him to travel backwards in time. one day it finally occurred to him in a hallucination and finally returned to his own time. Unfortunately he didn't go back far enough and arrived shortly before Dr. Hargreeves' funeral and his body had regressed to his twelve year old body. He finds out from Dr. Pogo that his body's cells aren't dying but no new ones are growing,essentially that his body is stuck in time. He and pogo go to coffee shop to talk and wind up encountering men in red costume with laser weapons. 00.05 quickly and messily evisarate his attackers and then departs with pogo but not before thanking his waitress. 00.05 returns to the mansion after Vanya attacked it and finds Hargreeves' monocle and a dead Dr. Pogo. 00.05 was present at the final battle and was responsible for stopping The White Violin by shooting her in the head.
