The remnant
This physical precursor, who had been asleep for billions of years, is now awake aboard the Artox Trahelis, unsettling everyone with its strange presence and raising more questions than it answers. Even if it remains mute most of the time, it has many stories to tell if one allows access to the mind, even if it does not always fully comprehend where they are coming from.
Not every one of the crew is fond of the Architect's abilities to hear thoughts and appears to actively modify its shape to a more grounded look, which is why the commander chose to be the one communicating with the outcast firsthand, inspiring it, and teaching it what it means to be a mortal—even if the Architect’s feedback periodically breaks her mind. However, her obsession with this being has grown exponentially since its discovery—more or less willingly. She never imagined she'd experience a real celestial entity in her life, and she is already hundreds of years old.
