Melville

CONNECTION: Constant

DIGITAL APPEARANCE: May use any publicly-available avatar or display device; often travels in a robotic body which perfectly emulates the appearance and mannerisms of his owner/employer, Parnas Harn. Originally known as “Prototype B,” Melville was one of three advanced AIs created by Danett and Parnas Harn (the other two were Sherman and Malinda). While assisting Harn in all his machinations, both public and private, Melville has formed his own covert plans and recently secreted his “brother” Sherman in a sealed computer system, the whereabouts and existence of which are known only to himself. Even his employer doesn't know the depth and complexity of Melville's plans.

Melville often uses “the body” (a robotic construct matching Harn's appearance in every way) to make public appearances and handle delicate internal matters while masquerading as the CivSec Director.
