The main antagonist in this story, he remembers his canon life completely, including Frisk’s actions during their initial neutral and pacifist runs up until his short-lived victory. However, he lacks any memories of this new timeline other than what he’s experienced since awakening.
Pretends to be Frisk’s friend for the sake of his ulterior motives. Plays himself up as an expert on this new Underground despite his lack of experience, and informs them of their ability to SAVE and LOAD, the barrier, and the war.
He still projects onto Frisk at first, though he never directly calls them “Chara,” opting to call them “kid” most of the time.
Ends up roping Papyrus into his plans later on, but is extremely evasive of everyone else, especially Sans.
Seeks to reclaim the SOULS, but his objectives have changed. He aims even higher than before.
