Hypothesis: Keres is a soul shaman and, for his bad luck, steps into Thanatos. Thanatos can't reincarnate to cause chaos, but can take over Keres body. Keres/Thanatos finds a suitable weapon in the glacier and tricks Temlin (god of time). Keres/Thanatos absorbs the mystic energy of dying Temlin and uses it to awake the Burrowers and bring chaos and death to the world for several centuries. The vital energy sent to the Burrowers to wake them up is channeled to the Dimensional Vortex that swallows the immortals (and that keeps the Old Ones away), as the Burrowers have some connection with it (and the Old Ones). Thanatos wouldn't sacrify his own vital energy to awake the Burrowers, but wanted to use somebody else's energy. Thanatos is happy, goes back to his planes and leaves behind the useless body of Keres as an old toy. Keres body still have a sparkle of Temlin mystic energy, but that's not enough to be a god again. Temlin mystic energy in Keres body is enough to get reincarnated (or time-transported?) in the mortal Khoronus (much later in time) and to send an inspiration to immortal Khoronus (much much later in time) to send a time machine random back in time (that time machine will end up to the mortal Khoronus, making effectively possible that the immortal form of Khoronus sponsored the mortal form of Khoronus).
This is all part of a secret quest of the secretive god of time (Temlin-Khoronus-third reincarnation tbc) to become immortal three times and send his vital energy through the Dimensional Vortex every time (returning to the status of mere mortal) in order to achieve an higher level of power. First and second part of his quest are completed.

Just an hypothesis... :wink:
