So, he is another aspect of the Eternal Champion?
Yes, Glogauer is also an aspect of the Champion. And, given the sort of book that Breakfast in the Ruins is, his being there is quite understandable.... Working with Moorcock's Multiverse, you're dealing with infinite versions of any given reality, so if a character dies in one universe, this does not mean that person is dead in another, and so on. It allows Moorcock to continue to explore various themes using the most appropriate aspect of the Champion, without having to "start from scratch" or recreate the wheel, as it were....
