The Zodiac Healer is confined by this ecliptic path.

The Zodiac Healer is a former serial killer and alleged time-traveler who has reversed both time and morality.

He is now repeatedly moving backward in time, serially healing the murdered. Moving backward in time feels like Sisyphus pushing the rock uphill.

The Zodiac Healer is a hostile colleague of Baron Zersetzung.

I remember Christine Lavin telling a joke about "What do you get when you run a slasher movie in reverse? Some maniac with a chainsaw heals the dead, some of them become virgins, and everybody goes camping." Years later, in my Gnomon storytelling days, I remembered that joke and fictionalized the slasher as the Zodiac Healer -- a reverse serial killer, reverse in time, so a healer, and reverse in morality, so repentant.
