Can't quite figure out how to name two profiles

Ok, so, I'm making pages for the Thief series, and there's two protagonists, both named Garrett, one protagonist of the original trilogy (first game 1998) and one of the reboot (2014, same canon as the originals, just set centuries later, only called "Thief", no subtitle). Neither has a last name or some other easy nickname to call them by.

I'm not really sure what to call the profiles, whether some variation of (Original)/(Reboot) or (1998)/(2014), and I've gotten some opinions on either side which just makes me more unsure, so uh, if anyone has any opinions or other ideas, I'd appreciate them.
 
Actually, I'm not sure too. It seems that the page naming in VS Battles Wiki as there is no formal guideline.
 
I don't think a formal guideline is needed, I just wanna know which sounds better in this specific case, not a big deal
 
It depends. For some verse (e.g. Ben 10), it is likely that they only have the original version and reboot version, then (Original)/(Reboot) may be preferred. For verses which would have many versions (e.g. video games), (1998)/(2014) is somewhat preferred.

But there are more than the two choices mentioned above. For verses which have many, many versions (e.g. Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Water Margin), something like (2000 Television Series), (2001 Video Game) is needed.

It's only those two versions, no other Thief media exists, though there's been some talks of a new game now that Square sold the IP, nothing concrete
 
Anyway I'll just do Original and Reboot ig, doesn't matter too much and I don't wanna get stuck on this
 
You could try included the word "Character" and "Verse" respectively as well as a year in the two characters' case.
