V1 The Mediator

The Mediator is an enigmatic warrior who stalks the wastelands of the surface, seeking to bring peace among the warring peoples. Their head is encapsulated in a strange sort of gas mask, with the piercing light of two green eyes(?) emanating from behind the lenses. Their collar bears an impossibly immaculate fluff, as of yet untouched by human hands (material unknown). The layered coat supports the large frame of the Mediator while also having a large number of pockets, which is strange due to the lack of bullets for firearms. The chosen weapon is a chainsaw, light to swing but still dangerous in its grinding blades. The Mediator has also been observed to use melee combat on rare occasions. The Mediator has been heard speaking several languages and writing agreements, but they cannot communicate in Spanish. Their voice itself is at times hard to discern, observers have called it echoing, mumbling or even altered in some way. One linguist noted that their speech patterns reminded them of an intern of the former IT Department (unconfirmed).

Death of the Computer
(This is the primary canon of the Mediator, there are no records of the Mediator prior to the Computer’s death.)

The first identifiable sighting of the Mediator was during the later stages of the first post-Bunker migration, staring at the Accounting Head from a distant snow bank. The sightings would only become more frequent and soon more violent. The first notable example of their mediation was between two groups of mercenaries, one from the City of the Egg and the other from Scrapwire. The groups sought to fight over an area of high transit in the woodland trails, but when the Mediator threatened both sides with retribution, brandishing their chainsaw. They attempted to attack but suffered too many casualties for it to be profitable, forcing them to negotiate. The treaty was signed by all parties involved, but two men of the Egg violated it soon after. The dawn struck once more and cast light on the severed heads of the two men on pikes, one at their home on the other at Scrapwire. Their bodies had been dismembered and layed out in a “display” in the area of the woodland trail, assembled in a circular, vaguely humanoid figure with large eyes(?). This occurrence as well as others would transpond for a while, until the Mediator abruptly vanished one day, not being seen for months.

The next sighting of the Mediator would be from an onlooker from the Neo-Compterist base operations after they had rejected a member of the former IT Department from the Bio-Computer. The next day saw the walls of the complex assailed by the Mediator along with several gunmen and mercenaries. This caused internal dysfunction for the faction and put the A.D.A.M. project on hold for a concerning amount of time. From then on, the Mediator would return to the business of “peacemaking” and now seeming to follow the location of the one that the Neo-Computerists had rejected.
