Time Patrol is a series of works, mostly short stories, by Poul Anderson. They take place in a universe where the resolution to the Grandfather Paradox is that you now exist without ever having had a father, and the Time Police relentlessly work to keep time nevertheless on the same path — while ruthlessly expurgating futures, filled with living beings, that do not conform to it. Doing this often requires the sacrifice of time travelers or those they love.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Most of the stories feature Manse Everard, a 20th-century American and Unattached agent, as the main character, or as a secondary one. Many crucial incidents feature The Greatest History Never Told, such as the Punic Wars. | |

The Atoner | |
| Time Patrol / int_4ef92d0b | comment |
The Atoner: Harpagus in "Brave To Be A King". Dying, he confesses that he had forced a time traveler to become Cyrus because he had been sent to kill the true Cyrus, and he had done all of it to atone. When Manse figures out how to keep the true Cyrus alive, one thing he uses to motivate himself is that Harpagus will no longer suffer from the terrible guilt, even though Manse will remember it. | |

Always Save the Girl: In "Delenda Est", Van Sarawak drags Deirdre along when Everard rescues him, without regard for what it does to the rescue. | |

Above Good and Evil | |
| Time Patrol / int_86968c96 | comment |
Above Good and Evil: In the very first story, the instructor, describing how the Danellians (our far future descendants) insisted on the founding of the Patrol, said they were neither benevolent nor malevolent, they were so far beyond us. | |

Ancient Astronauts | |
| Time Patrol / int_aa4fa3d5 | comment |
Ancient Astronauts: Used, with time travelers rather than aliens, in "The Sorrows of Odin the Goth". The time-traveling historian Carl knows that his travels among the Goths are liable to make the natives think he's a god, so he dresses in such a way that stories of his exploits would be folded into the preexisting mythology of Wodan (aka Odin). It doesn't work out quite how Carl intended it... | |
