Machinist

The Machinist is a boss in the second campaign. He allegedly built the city of Caldora and its robots, many of which were built in the likeness of his daughter Cynthia. Upon seeing the player's persona, he assumes he has been hunted down by a Brotherhood agent and attacks with a sword, which seems to be a curiously low-tech weapon for someone who allegedly has nanoscale mechatronics technology.

The Machinist considers the Matron as having done some good things, but the Brotherhood disagrees with him and disagrees even more violently with his choice to build his creations; they consider his robots an abomination, though their apparent dislike for technology does not prevent them from having enough computing expertise to install a virus on the Machinist's server farms.

The player's persona's battle with the Machinist is unique in that the Machinist's life is spared upon his defeat.
