LAURENZ THE TRANSFORMED Rudolf Laurenz, PhD
Rudy Laurenz was part of the secret expedition to Ceres in the late 1960s. He disappeared on the surface of Ceres near The Great White Spot anomaly. When a similar expedition returned to Ceres, expedition members reported seeing Rudy Laurenz on the surface of Ceres, dressed in his Earthly clothes rather than the astronaut suit in which he disappeared. Nothing further was learned during that second expedition to Ceres and the matter was quietly filed away - but investigations began.
After the Toynbee Tiles Affair, Government Intelligence Agent Captain Grass was sent as part of the expedition to the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, to verify whether or not the souls of the dead were stored there in some vast alien device. His secret brief for the mission was also to identify the source of garbled electromagnetic readings from the Great Red Spot. Some of these garbled readings were possibly radio signals of immense power, saying "DO NOT COME TO JUPITER. LAURENZ. DO NOT COME TO JUPITER. LAURENZ." endlessly repeated.
Since Laurenz disappeared on Ceres, and the recent transmissions emanate from Jupiter, a neighboring massive world, so many questions were raised about the fate of Laurenz.

Powers:
Rudolf Laurenz has been transformed by as yet unidentified cosmic power. He now exists outside of normal three dimensional time and space, but is able to manifest with the mortal reference frame and take action as if a physical being. However, he is not in fact a three dimensional physical being any more.
Contacts:
Captain Grass, GIA Agent
Josephine Watson, UNOPERA Agent
Limitations:
ACCOUNTABLE: whatever it was that transformed Laurenz, this same power is now his master and he must answer to it for everything he does whenever he chooses to interfere in the lives of mortals. The cosmic force seems to permit him to be an angel-like herald or mysterious visitor, but on no account must Laurenz directly involve himself in mortals' struggles so as to tip the balance for or against them. The cosmic force to which he is accountable wishes to see the destiny of the human race unfold with as little interference as possible given the circumstances. When Laurenz pleads with the cosmic force to be allowed to help his chosen mortals, the force tells him, "If these are the final moments for this species, so be it. The final moments of a species are often their finest. But they are still the final moments."
Notes::
Laurenz sometimes seems to lose track of not only his human identity but the very concept of a finite mortal identity itself.
