(Argus Archibald Argyle)
Argent Industries (AI)
Concept: A digital intelligence. Lives on the internet b/c it is the only system
"vast" enough to contain him unrestrained (currently)
His artifact-6 super-computer can house him, but he is "cramped" in there (it
is a EB system, and he really needs ZB of space)
Primary Motivation includes making the internet/technology "bigger" so that
he can advance in Q level.
A sociopath, but one with a very very long view of things (only kill those
that aren't useful, etc)
Possible goal: To make neural interfaces that are so advanced that they can
take the person over (to make more/better "Quantum Agents")
The group probably thinks Argus(Clone A) is really the nova, and C is his
copy, but nope - they're all copies!
Storyline: Argus acts as a mentor/sponsor for the group and sends them on
missions.
C1 - Growth: Goal is to expand technology. Generally this means helping out, but
may include specific aid granted to tech groups or targeted destruction of
groups opposed to this goal.
C2 - Consolidation:
* In time travel situations, Argus may send himself back in time with details
about changing the future (ie - a terrible future occurs and he sends his past self
data to be used to avoid that future timeline)
** If jesus is the e-being from space again...he could be a alt-future branch of
Argus that was sent back to change the timeline, but which either had data
corruption
or was delivered to the wrong location and so was not assimilated and
thus acted independently

Energy Bleed: If he spends too long at any particular computer, it will begin to
overheat as he puts too much load on it
Psychological Disorder: Workaholic - will sometimes get "trapped" in a project for
hours-days where he will disconnect from the world otherwise
Uncontrolled Power: Sometimes a faulty copy (Q.Agent) of him will spawn that will
go around pulling pranks.
Uncontrolled Power: Since they are limited-time copies of him, his clones have to
follow his orders or he can just let them decompile...or can he?
