Okay, dig this:
The Comte (First and Last Man) is the Avatar of Karmic
Reincarnation, immortal, and remembers all the universes that
came before. Some iterations of the Comte can invent or remember
rituals from these past cosmoses (cosmii?).
What if it's not a series of Bangs and Busts, but parallel and
simultaneous Bangs and Busts? In other words, the Comte is
living in all the multiple versions of the cosmos separated by
the Veil, and they're all happening at the same time. His
"ritual making" ability has to do with setting up echoes, not
with a dead universe, but a living universe next door. He
experiences all his lives simultaneously.
The Comte, therefore, beats the borders of the real, the ranger
on the edge of the Veil, keeping the universes separate, or
mixing them together as necessary. This doesn't make him
particularly happy or noble, it's just what he *does*.
The dead live in the spaces between universes, the Veil, where
they skitter like rats in the walls. The identity of the Cruel
Ones they fear so becomes clear...
The Cruel One(s) are the Comte(s).
The House of Renunciation is the universal hub, the omphalos,
the spindle upon which the multiverse rotates... and the point
in which things can pass back and forth between universes.
Thoughts?

this is madness; to seek treasure where there is only
trash! And maddest of all -- to pursue life as it is and
not as it should be!" -- Cervantes
