Lin Carter did an interesting variation in his Ganelon Silvermane series. Ganelon is a construct of the Time Vault, a creation of the ancients which animates individuals sort of like living Seldon Crisis resolvers from time to time. Unfortunately, SOMETHING HAPPENED and Ganelon was released early with no training, and no idea what he would have been supposed to have done at the (presumably) far future time he would have been animated. I'm not sure the series was ever resolved, though I see in isfdb that there was a book released outside of the DAW run which I may have to check out. -- columbiaclosings.com What's not in Columbia anymore..
