This is where Mobius M. Mobius makes an entry.

Played by Owen Wilson, Mobius M. Mobius is an agent from TVA, an organization set up by the Time-Keepers to keep branched realities and multiverse checks. He was investigating a “variant” in 1549 when he was summoned back to TVA, where he met Loki, taken into custody to break the timeline of Avengers (2012).

Mobius seeks Loki’s help and offers help in exchange while updating him with the latter’s memories from the original timeline. This makes the alternate Loki go rogue for some time as he was already in disbelief watching the proceedings at TVA.

After Loki’s approval, Mobius unveils the biggest revelation of the first episode, that the other variant in 1549 is none other than an alternate version of Loki, revealed as more evil and mischievous as the credits roll.
