Number Five is one of the forty-three children who were all born on the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989. Five possessed the power to time travel and ended up trapped in the future as an old boy, where he found that the world was in ruins. He returned to The Umbrella Academy years later with a message that the world was due to end in eight days. He is crotchety, arrogant, and hyper-intelligent. Despite his 14-year-old looks, Five has the world-weary consciousness of an old man.
