Talk:Zhuge Liang (Lord El-Melloi II)/@comment-66.215.67.68-20160512032601/@comment-27247829-20160512050537

Actually, it was explained in his Interlude that the reason he aged backwards was because the system judged that the period in which his legend shines the most was the period where he was Iskandar's Master in the fourth Holy Grail War. Since Chaldea's ascension method's modus operandi was returning the Servant it summoned into their finest form, the system acted on that logic and rewinded El-Melloi II into his Waver days.

The Waver at the end of Accel Zero Order was the actual Waver of that timeline, who has received Zhuge Liang's essence from El-Melloi from Chaldea, which came from a separate timeline.
