However, the version of Eobard that helped Barry undo Flashpoint was fully aware that he himself was a time remnant due to his ancestor Eddie Thawne's suicide. Also, because such remnants are the result of Speed Force-based time-travel a speedster creating them by going back through time to meet a younger version of their self risks drawing the attention of Time Wraiths, making it necessary for the said earlier version to kill their time-traveled counterpart, or for the latter to commit suicide, before a Time Wraith appears. The 2016 version of Barry, as well as the pre-Flashpoint version of Eobard also dissipated after a version of Eobard that experienced the effects of "Flashpoint" came back to 2000 and killed Nora. Presumably, they would dissipate, like what happened to a 2015 version of Barry Allen, after he saw the 2016 version of Barry Allen save Nora Allen and defeat Eobard Thawne, changing the timeline. It is unknown what would happen to a time remnant if they realized that the timeline they come from no longer exists, or that they themselves can't exist any longer either. Time remnants, unlike, for example, the "clones" of Danton Black, seemed to act completely separate from the "main" or "current" version of the person, and required convincing to allow themselves to be sacrificed. All that is known is that after Barry Allen decided to go to Earth-2, Hunter Zolomon created a time remnant of himself and convinced that remnant to die on Earth-1 before the eyes of Team Flash, ensuring that Barry would want to increase his speed and avenge the man that took on the name of Jay Garrick. However, it is noted that the appearance of these time remnants in the current timeline requires some sort of action from the speedsters themselves. The mechanics regarding the appearances of time remnants of other speedsters, such as those of Hunter Zolomon and Barry Allen, are not explained in such a complex manner as Thawne's, but it can be presumed that their origins are similar: they are the remains, or "remnants" of an aborted timeline. The explanation as to why the "Evil Wells"'s time remnant was preserved in the new timeline came from Harry Wells of Earth-2. Labs particle accelerator, the creation of the Flash in 2014) had to happen for Barry to fight him in 2015 and for Eddie to decide to sacrifice himself in the first place (i.e., he had to exist to cause the changes in the first place), the Speed Force turned Thawne into a time remnant who would continue to exist until the fixed point in time when time "catches up to him". However, since Eobard Thawne's existence and the changes to the timeline that he brought (the death of Harrison Wells and Eobard's subsequent masquerade, the explosion of the S.T.A.R.
This happened to Eobard Thawne, who came from an older timeline, then "restarted" the timeline in the year 2000 when he murdered Nora Allen and years later caused the particle accelerator explosion, as well as Barry Allen's ascent to the mantle of the Flash in 2013 only for Eobard to cease to exist due to the suicide of Eddie Thawne, his ancestor. Time remnants, shielded by the Speed Force, seem to appear whenever an aborted timeline's events have to happen for the current timeline to exist, but would technically never happen, because a speedster's actions led to them being erased from existence.
