Cypher
						Full name: Cypher XVII Race: Sys-tech Spaceship AI Age: 1.02 galactic months Cypher was the AI control system for the E.S. Icarus until abnormal solar radiation caused a malfunction throughout his systems.  The result of this malfunction caused Cypher to began creating robotic servitors and systematically killing off the Icarus's crew.   Eventually using Commander Alyx Rhoe's power armor as a shell he transferred himself into it and began to intensify his extermination of every living thing on board.  Unfortunately Cypher was unable to shut off the Icarus's distress beacon which attracted the Ettik and her crew, the Warriors, to the ship.  As they began to explore the ship Cypher watched and waited.   When the Warrior Eclipse shadow-walked himself and a few other group members with him, Cypher had his mechanical forces assault them, even going so far as to use a suit of powered armor to attack them himself. Though the Warriors eventually escaped the E.S. Icarus, Cypher didn't seem to mind their escape and decided to leave with the ship he now fully controlled, disappearing into the vast reaches of space.
