Kessler (Alternate Earth-0808)

"I've always been there, Cole. Every step of your life. I was wrong... I though you were the future. But now I realize... I AM THE FUTURE."

- - Kessler to Cole MacGrath

Kessler, real name Cole MagGrath, is the future self of Cole MacGrath who traveled back in time to start the chain of events that led to Cole's transformation into a Conduit so he would save the world from the Beast. For this, he became the leader of the First Sons, a terrorist Conduit organization, and ultimately decided he was the one who would accomplish everything, not Cole.
