I don't think it matters.
Even his Move through Time 17 is probably OK : just adapt the Duration Chart on p.232 of HW:RiG.
In fact he will likely find it very useful during his heroquests, as useful as Lunar T&Jers find their own Chronoportation ability.
Remember that to move _backwards_ through time he'll be up against a basic 10m10 Resistance, plus modifiers ... except in the hero plane !
I'm not sure that I'd allow Psychic Powers 17, though. It's simply too broad & meaningless for comfort.
I like the fact that he owns a disintegrator *ray*, not *raygun*. Where does he keep it ?
Apart from the fairly ungloranthan style of the write-up, the only major problem is that there's no Culture keyword, no Occupation keyword, and no Magic keyword ('Psychic Powers' doesn't count. Neither does 'Stormbull' I think).
I'd probably allow the character, after a little negociation ... :-)
