You won't need to wait too long hopefully. The next three Patron updates are all going to be on good timeline stuff because we're at the reveal part of the story (after I have some time to set up).
But good to hear about Thanatos! He's meant to be very... particular as far as a character goes. Very much antagonistic, and hopefully the explanation come next month, plus the months to come to explain his actions, are at least satisfying even if you come out the other side still disliking him.
