Cosimo's species
Cosimo's species was a species of non-humanoid lifeforms that existed in a temporal inversion fold located in the space-time matrix.

Because this species was unsure how or why the accident happened, nor how to return Harry to his proper timeline, they sent Cosimo to watch Harry and to make sure that things worked out right for him. When it was determined that his adjustment to the new timeline was not going well, Cosimo revealed himself, offering him how to find the time stream, and return to his proper timeline. ()
