There's nothing interesting about this character!
It seems like a mish-mash of old cliches.
However, you did use the word "enigmatic" right.

What is his motivation? Why does he do this? And what kind of things does he warn of... does he work to protect the world, protect the time stream, protect the Land of Oz, etc, etc.
What are this guys credentials? Why should anyone listen to him? Justy because you have lived a long time does not mean I should trust you. Any good Illusionist or Dream Mage could perpetrate his appearance and effect, ruining his reputation.
Yes he is a legendary. But even legends have origins (told and retold badly over the ages). Where did Athena come from? Or The Hood (aka Robin Hood)? Or Toth? These are legendaries who still have origins (though the details might be different than the reality).
