Five Hargreeves

Personality:   He's crotchety, arrogant, and hyper-intelligent. He is also shown to be sarcastic, pragmatic, and incredibly prideful. Number Five is one of the forty-three children who were all born on the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989 to mothers without any previous signs of pregnancy. The baby was one of seven adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves with the intention of training them to save the world. Five possessed the ability to time travel and ended up trapped in the future as an old boy, where he discovered that the world was in ruins. He eventually returned to The Umbrella Academy years later with a message that the world was due to end in eight days. After he failed to avert the apocalypse, Five found himself transported to Dallas, November 25, 1963, in the center of another apocalypse. He quickly learned that this apocalypse was a direct result of him and his family manipulating time; once again he was forced to assemble the Umbrella Academy to mitigate the threat to humanity. Upon returning to 2019, he and his family were shocked to learn that not only had they been replaced, but that their actions had led to a Kugelblitz, a black hole that would collapse all of space and time. After teaming up with the Sparrows, the universe was ultimately reset, leading to a world where all of the Hargreeves, including Five, no longer possessed their powers. His ability was space-time manipulation. It allowed him to travel through space and time and teleport objects without physical contact. At age 13, Five became trapped in the apocalyptic future for more than 40 years. When he found a way back, his body regressed to that of his 13-year-old self, while his mind stayed the same. As a result, he has the personality of a 60-year-old and is frustrated at being trapped in the body of a child. He is shown to have a genius intellect, often dismissing others, including his family, as stupid or inferior, and expressing disinterest in their personal affairs. He is also shown to be sarcastic, pragmatic, and incredibly prideful. He also exhibits impulsive behavior due to his prideful nature, which is seen when he brazenly uses his time-traveling powers as a boy despite Reginald Hargreeves' warnings that he was not fully prepared to wield them. Five is also shown to be a ruthless and incredibly efficient killer. While he does not enjoy killing, he seems to have no qualms about the people he has killed and is more than willing to eliminate anyone, even innocent people, whose deaths may stop the apocalypse from happening and even displays nonchalance when making plans to murder them. He gained fame in his times as an agent of the Temps Commission for his success in killing countless individuals on missions, which he did as part of his contract in order to get back home to the present. Overall, Number Five has shown to be perfectly willing to eliminate anyone who stands in the way of his goals. Despite his antisocial behavior, he does have compassion and cares for his family deeply. He works tirelessly both in the past and future to prevent the apocalypse and is seemingly the most devoted member of the family in stopping it. He even refuses to involve his family most of the time out of fear they would die. When he "renegotiates" his contract with the Temps Commission, he demands that his family be saved as well. Additionally, as the series progresses, he becomes disillusioned with the idea of killing. When he agrees to assassinate the Commission's board of directors, he only does so under the belief that it's to save his siblings. Following this particular massacre, he swears off killing, and he does follow through with this promise, only fighting back when it's to defend himself or his family. In the third season, he seeks a life of retirement and peace, and expresses the desire to not intervene in any more time travel, refusing to mess up the lives of himself or his siblings any further. He is only forced back into work when the threat of yet another apocalypse emerges, and even then decides that the best option is to step back and accept his fate.
