Kraft

Kraft is one of the Nine Old Men, a human consciousness from the distant past residing inside a robotic shell-body. Described as physically resembling a brass statue, Kraft has spent the centuries following the first red star guarding the Tower of Nethys. This long isolation - and possibly the transferal of his consciousness to a robotic body - has caused Kraft to become somewhat alienated from the human condition. To living listeners, his voice sounds "off", and he appears detached from the concerns of mortal lives. Regardless, he seems to take his job as guardian of the Tower, guide to would-be Star Cleavers, and teacher of the truth of the Far World seriously, as he has not left his post in some six millenia.
