Fictional character biography
Scientific industrialist Restin Dane has a penchant for dressing as an Old West gun-slinger as he travels through time. Restin Dane is the grandson of Adam Dane, the man who told his story about those adventures in the future to his friend H. G. Wells, who turned his account into the book The Time Machine, but at Dane's insistence withheld his name. Restin Dane's time machine is the Time Castle, a dark-energy powered vehicle that resembles a large rook chess piece; which is how Restin became known as The Rook. The Time Castle was created by Restin, with help from his grandfather's, Adam Dane's (the original Time Traveler*3) journals. Restin is no stranger to the space-time continuum either; having an undergraduate degree from Oxford in Engineering, Science and Physics and a PhD from Caltech in both Materials Science and Applied Physics-Quantum Mechanics. While at Oxford, he discovered artificial intelligence with his creation of two sanitation robots, Nuts & Bolts. Restin would later create a more complex robotic servant known as MAN-RS, an acronym for Man's Robotic Servant. The Rook's journeys through time reveal the illusion of human history and the separation between past, present and future. Restin Dane (The Rook) now travels not only through time, but through the "reality stream". Since The Rook's last documented appearance in the early 1980s, he has undergone significant changes: he now travels the reality stream in a different ship. It is much more eclipse than his old ship

Another mystery surrounds Restin Dane's romantic entanglements. In the initial stories, Restin appears to be involved with January Boone, while Bishop Dane is involved with Katie McCall. Restin tells Katie he loves her as he departs on another mission. In a later issue, January calls him "lover". And yet, in Terror of the Spaceways, Part II, Restin kisses another woman while in the future. Later on, it is established that Restin and Katie have a long-standing relationship. Oh well, it was the '70s, after all.
