Skellor
From Earth Central
| “ | Skellor's a top-flight biophysicist, highly rated even by an AI like Earth Central, but his methods have always been dubious to say the least. It was rumoured he was using human subjects in some of his experiments, but insufficient evidence was found for any kind of prosecution. | „ |
| —Cormac, Line of Polity, Prologue | ||
Skellor by chance gets his hands on a Jain Node and swallows it, becoming a host for it. He interfaces with a quartz-matrix AI to keep the Jain Technolgy from controlling him completely. In turn the Jain tech lets him interface with the AI without burning out his mind.
He manages to get onto Occam Razor without detection. There he infiltrates the ship's systems and eventually kills Tomalon, but not before Tomalon initiates complete AI burn, destroying the Occam AI.
At the end of Line of Polity Cormac lures Skellor to Elysium with Lyric II and tricks Dreyden into destroying Occam.
