Biography

According to records retrieved from the Rainship Taliks-Syn and translated by Eido, RS was a friend of another individual, designated "HNW047622", who had embarked on a journey to terraform a world in a distant star system, only to have their work destroyed by an invading force. In a long-distance conversation between the two, RS discussed the Penitent's interventionist actions in the affairs of another species, which they believed to be justified because they would prevent future suffering. While HNW disagreed with RS, they went on to muse about the nature of suffering and the Final Shape, suggesting that the Final Shape might necessarily entail suffering in the name of perfection, and that the Final Shape itself might be universe where suffering and evil did not exist because they were not allowed to do so.

At some point after the two had last spoken, RS had a change of perspective after learning of their plan to unite the minds of the Precursors into a single being, renouncing the Consensus and setting off into deep space. Centuries later, HNW, having apparently been radicalized by their experiences and joined the Penitent, sent a message to RS informing them that the Consensus was now controlled by the Penitent, having destroyed the rival Nihilist and Solipsist factions, and that they would use the Veil to become one to pursue the Final Shape. Although RS had seemingly cut most communication with HNW by this time, HNW hoped that RS would see their message, and confessed that they reached out to RS not to convince them to return, but out of respect for their compassion, selfishly admitting that they didn't want to forget RS once they merged.
