Eobard is usually from the 25th century in most story lines. The way I've understood it is that hes like a huge flash fan and replicates Barry's accident and travels back to when the flash was alive and has some sort of traumatic experience or revelation and hates the Flash. Like in the comics he goes back in time and finds out hes the one responsible for the Flash dying and he loses his mind. By the way that Eobard said nothing is forgiven to Barry when he was unconscious, I am gonna assume we will find out why Eobard hates Barry. If you notices Eobard referred to Tess Morgan as being dead for centuries too. I'm guessing next couple episodes will fill in the blanks. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is him wanting to kill Barry since if he has powers because he copied the Flash, if he kills Barry he may never exist to begin with.
