Marvel Phase 5's Loki Season 2 introduces a lot of exciting new characters to the MCU. One of those characters is Ouroboros, aka OB, as the chief (and only) engineer of the TVA. Since Season 1 ended with the death of "He Who Remains," the only iteration of Kang the Conqueror, there will be multiple versions of him spreading from different realities. If you saw the ending of Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania , you might also be expecting Victor Timely, another iteration of Kang. But that being said, the introduction of Ouroboros, played by Ke Huy Quan, is the most refreshing addition to the MCU.
LOKI: Why OB was ERASED from TVA memory explained
But is he evil? How is Ouroboros connected to Marvel Comics history? And does he have ties to Norse mythology? Here's how to find out who Loki season 2's Ouroboros is in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Ouroboros, also known as OB, is revealed to be the Chief Engineer of Repairs and Advancement at the Time Variance Authority (TVA). He is responsible for the repairs and maintenance of all time travel devices by TVA members. From the brief glimpses we have been given, it seems he has no place to go or a personal life. Like other members, his work seems to be his entire life.
This may seem like it because his memory was wiped by He Who Remains (HWR). But since he clearly remembers the conversations with Loki and Mobius, it seems that HWR missed this TVA member. And if we think about it, he also remembers working here for 400 years without any visitors. Because he lived so isolated in TVA and away from other members, he may not have been seen as a threat by HWR.
