Architect

The Architect is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. He is said to have created Alrest.

Appearance and personality
The Architect is a man with a skeletal constitution and long gold hair. The right half of his body is replaced by a dark void. He wears the ragged remains of his lab coat, with several wires and green tubes connected to his back. The Architect is full of regret, believing that his immortality via the Conduit is a punishment from on high from when he conducted the experiment with it eons ago. He also believed that it was fate that the new human race that he created were destined to destroy each other.

Story arc
Despite being mentioned multiple times throughout the story, the Architect never appears in-person until Chapter 7 in a flashback in which he examines the empty terminal that once contained the Trinity Processor. In Chapter 10, he refers to himself as a fool, and says that "the time has come". Malos is the first to meet him; the Architect refers to him as "Logos". Confused, Malos asks him what the name means; he answers that it means nothing, but it represents of the egos of those who named him. Malos then asks him how many years have passed since they last met, and the Architect says that it has been too long to remember. Malos then tries to kill the Architect to no avail, with the latter revealing that he's dying anyway. Malos then asks if his own will is really his, with the Architect replying that it was 'a choice they made together'. Malos then thanks him for creating him and leaves to take control of Artifice Aion.
