Thames Handlink



There is no known image of the actual prop, so we have used episode images here. It appears to be a clear acrylic inverted pyramid with colorful gems attached. Fiber-optic lights are used to illuminate it.





Lothos Biography
Lothos is the artificial intelligence designed to run the Evil Leaper Project. Like his Project Quantum Leap counterpart Ziggy, Lothos is able to predict the likely outcome of historical changes by the leapers, and observers from his present can communicate with him through a hand-held device.

However, unlike Ziggy, Lothos seems to be in control of the leaps, deciding where and when people leap to, and picking their missions. It is also implied that Lothos controls multiple Leapers at a time. However, it is also implied that the leaps are at least partially controlled by some other entity (presumably The Devil), much like Sam's leaps are presumed to be determined by God.

Additionally, Lothos is described by Alia as someone or something that is "supposed to know everything". This could indicate that Lothos is, in some ways, an object of reverence back at the project, though little concrete information on the computer and the workings of the Evil Leaper project are given.
