Temporal Aura

"The containment doors are locked. And only the person who designed it can open it with a live scan of his temporal aura."

―Ouroboros^[src]

Temporal Aura is matter inside an organic being similar to a soul. A temporal aura is identical among all Variants of the same person.

History[]

"We've grabbed enough temporal aura to know it's our Loki Variant."

―Hunter B-15 to the TVA Agents^[src]

As a term used by the Time Variance Authority, they had all Variants step through a machine to make sure they did in fact have a temporal aura and were a living being. Loki, in particular, was confused about this notion.^[1] The TVA was also able to use the aura to track down another Loki Variant.^[2] When Loki started Time Slipping inside the TVA, Ouroboros created a Temporal Aura Extractor that would not only help Loki, but temporarily fix the Temporal Loom.^[3] As the situation with the loom grew worse, Ouroboros concluded that they needed a temporal aura scan of He Who Remains, who was dead. Instead, Mobius M. Mobius and Loki got a Variant of He Who Remains, Victor Timely,^[4] who was able to use his aura to open the gates of the Temporal Core.^[5]
