Time Prophet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Time Prophet is a character on the science fiction series LEXX.

The Time Prophet is a pivotal character in the TV series Lexx. She was capable of seeing the future, although she claimed that, as time was cyclical, she was actually seeing the past (not very clearly, mind you). As she explained it, "Time begins, and then time ends, and then time begins once again. It is happening now, it has happened before, it will surely happen again."

The Time Prophet played a role in the sage of the Brunnen-G people. A very poetic people with colorful clothes and towering bouffant hairdos (even the men), the Brunnen-G lived behind a protective shield and became immortal, eventually falling into despair and decadence from the boredom of their endless existence. Finally they were attacked by the forces of His Divine Shadow, and a young revolutionary named Kai convinced them to fight, even though they knew the battle was a hopeless one. Kai had visited a being known as The Time Prophet, and she had told him that he would defeat His Divine Shadow. This was indeed true, although it would happen many years after Kai's people were dead and his re-animated corpse had served His Divine Shadow for many years as an assassin.

The Time Prophet was eventually killed by the Divine Executioner, Vlad.

In one story, the Time Prophet sent a message to the crew of the Lexx across centuries by delivering it in the prophecy she gave to a man who had come to her seeking financial advice, knowing that when the man died his memories would be recorded and eventually played for the Lexx gang.
