centuries, or possibly millennia, later, his frozen body is found by researchers who thaw him out and dub him 'iceman'. under the pretense of helping him, the scientists are investigating his ability to survive in the world outside of their enclosed environment (which has become uninhabitable by humans while he was hibernating). they are also interested in further increasing their longevity. they create numerous artificial beings based on his dna for further study, including subject #63 whom he names "mutsumi". a sympathetic researcher allows iceman to escape along with numerous subjects including subject #3510, whom iceman had previously named mikoto. they have a child together, but are both eventually recaptured. having reproduced, mikoto is of particular interest to the scientists, who dissect her. on learning of this, iceman goes berserk, and his abilities as uitsalnemetea awaken (he turns the scientists into near immortal amoeba-like entities, fulfilling their wish for longevity). realizing what he is doing, he asks mutsumi to destroy him; but she is unsuccessful. instead, she manages to seal him, but he is separated into two entities: hakuowlo, possessing his good side and his human form; and a formless evil side that must possess a host body to act physically. however, the seal cannot hold indefinitely and the two halves periodically break free. in the current timeline, hakuowlo awakens with no memories, and the darker side possesses the onkamiyamukai scholar, dii.
