Originally thought to be trapped in a limited virtual world construct to which he was connected via a direct neural interface, Heath is currently assisting people across multiple universes dealing with the failures and losses of the outer rim universes, and preparing for [[The Crushing Fist]]. Through use of the neural interface, he was able to perceive the [[Soul Reader (Book)]] directly without suffering immediate and catastrophic brain damage. Heath's exact physical status is unknown. While he believes himself to be human, connected to the system via a neural interface, he actually exists as a disembodied brain in a medical vat, maintained as part of a complex and adaptive network node. He also has at his disposal two switches, one to release him from his situation through death, the other to wipe or reset his personal memories and leave his skills intact, to allow him to continue to function and help people with his abilities. It would appear that the support systems Heath is connected to are able to adapt to his awareness of his situation, developing plausible simulations to assist him in coping with his condition.

Heath's exact physical status is unknown. While he believes himself has repeatedly had to be human, connected come to the system via a neural interface, he actually exists as a disembodied brain terms in a medical vatsome form with his condition, maintained as part of particularly when required to perform feats that would otherwise be impossible for a complex and adaptive network nodenormal person. He also has at During his disposal two switchescommunication with [[Noah Fulmer]] (and his duplicate), one to release him from he was made aware of his situation through deathcondition, the other however Noah subsequently told Heath that he was only joking and had lied. The [[Shadow Entity]] subsequently commented to wipe or reset [[Noah Fulmer]] that his personal memories and leave his skills intact, to allow him to continue to function and help people with deception towards Heath regarding his abilitiescondition was rather sadistic.

Heath has repeatedly had to come to terms in some form with his condition, particularly when required to perform feats that would otherwise be impossible for a normal person. During the destruction of [[The First World]], Heath successfully used his connectivity to the communication networks across the multiverse to access information on and simultaneously contact every inhabitant remaining alive, and address them individually by name to tell them not to look at a large [[Ruby Cube]] that had escaped from [[Teskoy Prison]]. He became more stable however when [[Conn Thompson]] talked to him, requesting further help and information.
