TVA Clerk[]
Meeting Loki[]
Casey is given the Tesseract
Centuries later,[2] Casey was filing evidence when Hunter B-15 arrived with Loki, who was in her custody, and handed over the Tesseract to him. Upon taking it, Casey asked what it was, to which Loki replied that it was important and to be careful with it. Casey placed the Tesseract in a drawer to be filed as evidence.Script error: No such module "References".
Threatened by Loki[]
Casey and Loki
Later, Casey was filing evidence when Loki came up to him and asked him for his name. When Loki got his answer, he threatened to gut Casey like a fish if he didn't give him the Tesseract. When Casey said did not understand what a fish is, Loki questioned how he didn't understand what a fish is. Casey revealed to him that he lived his entire life behind a desk, only for Loki to ask what difference it made. Casey explained that he wanted to know what he was being threatened with before he complies, which Loki immediately told him he is being threatened with death. Casey complied by opening the drawer in his evidence cart and gave the Tesseract to Loki. However, Loki noticed multiple Infinity Stones in the drawer and questioned how the Time Variance Authority possessed them. Casey replied that the TVA had a lot of Infinity Stones and that some of the employees used them as paperweights. The perplexed Loki then asked Casey if the TVA is the greatest power in the universe. Before Casey could give his answer to Loki, Hunter B-15 and Mobius M. Mobius came through an elevator with B-15 trying to hit Loki with her baton, but missed and accidentally hit the evidence cart, destroying it due to Loki using the Time Twister to escape the room. Casey was angered with the fact that B-15 almost hit him with the baton, referring to it as messed up. While B-15 and Mobius began to look for Loki, Casey would say that he didn't forgive her.
Later, Casey would be talking to two TVA judges about what happened to him when out of nowhere, B-15 teleported right in front of them due to Loki using the Time Twister against her. Casey began to talk about Loki but stop noticing that B-15 was angry. B-15 would later walk away to capture Loki.Script error: No such module "References".
Drink Stolen[]
Casey's drink is taken by Loki
Casey was eating his food in the TVA lunch room when Loki came up to him. Casey remembered Loki from their past interaction, but before he could talk to him, Loki took his drink and said he needed it for a second before returning to his table to resume his conversation with Mobius M. Mobius.Script error: No such module "References".
Release of the Timeline[]
Loki gets excited that Casey remembers him
- "Hey, uh, Mobius, Loki was just here looking for you."
"Loki's here?"
"He was, and then he disappeared." - ―Casey and Mobius M. Mobius[src]
The Sacred Timeline was opened, resulting in chaos in the Time Variance Authority. Loki suddenly appeared in front of Casey, who recognized him. Loki claimed that Casey did not home in immediately prior and embraced Casey. He started to tell Casey that he was being pulled, but saw a crack on the floor and asked about it. Casey said that it had been there as long as he could remember. Loki asked for Mobius M. Mobius and Hunter B-15, so Casey turned to guide Loki to their most likely location. However, as Casey turned around, Loki was gone.
Loki reappears in front of Casey
He approached Mobius and B-15 anyway, telling them that Loki was looking for him. Their conversation was interrupted when Hunter X-05 asked about the jet ski pictures on Mobius' desk. X-05 told Mobius and B-15 that the Judges' Council wanted them in the war room, so they left Casey. Loki suddenly reappeared in front of Casey, asking where Mobius was. Casey sent Loki to the War Room, so he ran after Mobius.Script error: No such module "References".
Tracking Ravonna Renslayer[]
Casey tries to find Ravonna Renslayer
Casey was tasked with tracking Ravonna Renslayer's TemPad. Hunter B-15 came to check on his progress, but Casey reported that he had not found anything due to analysts running traces manually without the help of Miss Minutes. However, he was able to find out that Miss Minutes was still in contact with Renslayer. B-15 brought Casey to Mobius M. Mobius and Loki to share his revelation, causing Loki to remember a conversation he had overheard while Time Slipping in which Renslayer and He Who Remains appeared to be partners.
Casey analyzes Hunter X-05's TemPad
Mobius asked where Renslayer and Miss Minutes were, so Casey said that he would keep searching. He saw Loki struggling with a TemPad, and B-15 asked how they were doing. Loki insisted that they would be alright, and Casey asked what they were working on. Mobius and Loki explained that Hunter X-05 claimed that the TemPad blocked Time Variance Authority tracking, but Casey recognized that that was not the purpose of the alterations. Casey agreed to analyze the modifications while Loki, Mobius, and B-15 confronted X-05 about his lie.Script error: No such module "References".
Work on the Temporal Loom[]
Meeting Ouroboros[]
Casey asks for Ouroboros' autograph
- "You wrote the TVA Guidebook."
"You've read it?"
"Read it? I practically memorized it." - ―Casey and Ouroboros[src]
Hunter B-15 brought Casey to the room where the Temporal Loom was managed, believing that Casey could help Ouroboros. Ouroboros greeted them and said they were all going to die since the blast doors would not open. Casey suggested a solve, but Ouroboros explained that he knew it would not work since he wrote the code. Casey suddenly realized that he was the author of the TVA Guidebook and asked for an autograph. B-15 interrupted to remind them of the emergency, so Ouroboros explained that the only way to open the doors was with He Who Remains or Miss Minutes.Script error: No such module "References".
Attack on the Branching Timelines[]
Casey finds Ravonna Renslayer
- "Can we disarm the charges?"
"It's possible if we could track them, but there's too many. I'm gonna call O.B." - ―Hunter B-15 and Casey[src]
Casey and Hunter B-15 watched as timelines started getting pruned, when Brad Wolfe was sent in through a Timedoor. B-15 asked Casey if it was possible to stop the Reset Charges being used, and he said that he could if he could track them and went to call Ouroboros. Casey and Ouroboros then worked together on the problem. Once the attack was over, Ouroboros and Casey stared at the screen and silently took in the sheer number of people who had been killed. Casey's computer suddenly got a notification that Ravonna Renslayer had been found, so he reported on the discovery.Script error: No such module "References".
Return to the Loom[]
Casey works to find a solution for the Temporal Loom
Although the attack granted the Temporal Loom temporary reprieve, the branches were allowed to grow back, overwhelming the Loom again. Casey and Ouroboros worked to solve the problem, and Loki asked how they could get in through the blast doors. Ouroboros explained that he did not know how to access the Loom, so Casey suggested Miss Minutes. They agreed it was their only option, so Casey explained that Miss Minutes had sent information to Ravonna Renslayer and then was not seen again. Hunter B-15 suggested they track Renslayer to find Miss Minutes, so Loki and Mobius M. Mobius left to find them.
Casey learns about Victor Timely
While Mobius searched, Casey detected a strange TemPad reading. B-15 contacted Mobius to tell him about it, and Mobius revealed that he and Loki had found a variant of He Who Remains. B-15 and Casey looked to each other, surprised, and B-15 told him about Casey's discovery. Mobius asked where the reading came from, so Casey told him it was ten feet away from him.Script error: No such module "References". As Casey and Ouroboros continued working, they created a model of the Temporal Loom and the space surrounding it, but were only able to include one coat of paint and could not make it to scale. They worked on building a Throughput Multiplier to scale the Loom's capacity to handle the branches.Script error: No such module "References".
Meeting Victor Timely[]
Casey realizes the Throughput Multiplier still will not work
Casey and Ouroboros worked on finding a solution for the Temporal Loom, but Casey reported that despite their many attempted solutions, the Loom would still fail. Loki, Sylvie Laufeydottir, and Mobius M. Mobius then arrived and introduced Victor Timely. Casey and Ouroboros explained their plan for someone to bring the Throughput Multiplier to the Loom and launch it. Loki asked about the connection between the Multiplier and the Loom, so Casey explained that it would enlarge the rings of the Loom. Casey noted that there was another problem, so Ouroboros explained that the plan was theoretical since they could not get the Multiplier to work. Timely correctly guessed the reason and offered his prototype which would fix the problem. Casey and Ouroboros noted that integrating the technologies would take time, but Timely assured them and they started working.Script error: No such module "References".
Temporal Meltdown[]
Casey realizes that Victor Timely is missing
Casey, Ouroboros, and Victor Timely successfully integrated Timely's invention into the Throughput Multiplier as Mobius M. Mobius came to check on them. However, as Mobius and Timely talked, Casey noticed the diagnostics go down on the Multiplier. His TemPad stopped working, so Ouroboros borrowed Mobius', which also did not work. They realized that Miss Minutes corrupted the files and rushed to get Timely, but found he had been taken.
Casey realizes Victor Timely died
While Loki and Sylvie Laufeydottir searched for Timely, Casey went to the Temporal Loom with Mobius, Ouroboros, and Hunter B-15 and rushed to start working as they ran out of time. He took the Multiplier to the airlock as Ouroboros and Mobius debated rebooting the system. Loki and Laufeydottir returned with Timely, so Casey explained that the Multiplier was waiting in the airlock, and they needed to scan Timely's Temporal Aura. Timely opened the blast doors and volunteered to be the one to bring the Multiplier to the Loom. However, as soon as Ouroboros opened the door for him, Timely disintegrated, horrifying Casey. Casey and B-15 tried to figure out what they had done wrong. Casey then watched in horror as the Loom exploded and the explosion approached the Time Variance Authority Office.Script error: No such module "References".
Looped[]
Casey and Loki drag Victor Timely
Through Time Slipping, Loki managed to return to before Victor Timely went out into the Temporal Radiation. Not retaining any memories from after this point, Casey watched as Loki quickly explained what to do to Timely, but this was no use as even though Loki was going fast, Timely kept dying, leading to the Temporal Loom's destruction. Loki then slipped to when Miss Minutes had control of the servers. Casey was then pulled away by Loki and helped him grab Timely from Miss Minutes to take to the core room. However, this did not work either.
Casey tries to help Loki explain
Casey was a part of many loops that proved unsuccessful. At one point, Loki slipped to when Casey and Ouroboros were working on a solution. Suddenly, Loki, Mobius M. Mobius and Sylvie Laufeydottir walked in with a man. Loki introduced the man as Timely before bringing out a model of the loom to explain what to do. As Loki quickly explained what the Throughput Multiplier was supposed to do, Casey budged in to say that it was supposed to expand the rings. However, Loki beat him to it, impressing Casey. When Loki was done explaining, they realized one problem, the multiplier was not finished.Timely then told Loki that it would take centuries if Loki wanted to learn everything himself.
Casey brings the Throughput Multiplier to Victor Timely
Loki returned after centuries and immediately brought everyone into the core room with a finished throughput multiplier. He talked to Casey about how everything was supposed to go before telling him to run the multiplier down to Timely, who was getting into the Temporal Core Suit. Once Casey did that, he joined the group at the window where they watched Timely walk out into the storm. Tension was high as Timely was instructed by Loki, allowing the multiplier to work and launch. Everyone cheered as Timely made his way back. However, Ouroboros and Casey realized that it actually was not working like they thought, leading to their demise.
Casey and the agents watch in the darkness
Loki returned once again and was somber as he gave his friends a look before making his way down to the gangway. Casey and the others rushed to the window and watched as Loki walked out onto the gangway and used his Magic to obliterate the loom, affectively killing all of the timelines. With the loom gone, the Time Variance Authority Office was filled with darkness. However, they watched as Loki grabbed the branches of the timeline and used more magic to bring them back to life. Now with branches in his hand, Loki brought them to the Citadel at the End of Time as Laufeydottir remarked that he was giving them a chance. Loki became the loom as he brought the branches with him, liberating the Multiverse.Script error: No such module "References".

"I'll do you one better, I'll save you a seat." - ―Hunter B-15 and Casey[src]
With Loki gone, the Time Variance Authority started anew, now looking over the Multiverse and especially He Who Remains Variants. Casey was ashamed of the mural depicting the Multiversal War and tried to fight to get it taken down. Casey and Ouroboros helped bring Miss Minutes back online, which worried Hunter B-15 who asked if they trusted her. Ouroboros was unsure. B-15 then asked if Casey was going to the War Room. He assured her he would save her a seat. In the War Room, the TVA agents met and worked together in unison as Casey saved a seat next to Judge Gamble.Script error: No such module "References".
