Spoilers ahead for Marvel's Loki episode 4, "The Nexus Event." Marvel's Loki revealed that the beings in charge of the Time Variance Authority, the Time-Keepers, are fakes. Revealed to be no more than mindless robots, the true identity of whoever's really in charge of the TVA is still at large.

Do timekeepers really exist?

And as it turns out, the Time Keepers weren't real. Not exactly. Ravonna Renslayer took Loki and the Variant Sylvie in front of the enigmatic Time Keepers. It's the first time we see them in person, though statues of the godlike beings stand around the TVA.

Are the Time Keepers fake?

What are the Time Keepers? Time Keepers were the fake leaders of the Time Variance Authority, who were believed to be the leaders and protectors of the Sacred Timeline. Later in the show, we learned that the three Time Keepers were fake statues that did not control anything.
