Deus Prometh, a pioneering scientist, spearheaded a national research initiative investigating the Burnish—humans wielding pyrokinetic powers tied to interdimensional flame entities known as the Promare. His breakthroughs exposed the Promare’s dormant presence within Earth’s core and their role in cataclysms such as the Great World Blaze. He engineered the prototype Promatech Engine and forewarned of a planetary catastrophe via dimensional fusion, clashing ethically with colleague Kray Foresight. Foreseeing betrayal, Deus transferred his consciousness into an AI concealed beneath a frozen lake laboratory, where he persisted in surveilling Promepolis and refining the countermeasure weapon Deus X Machina. Elderly and stooped, Deus possessed greyish-white hair, piercing icy-blue eyes, and a wardrobe of white lab coats over pink dress shirts, black slacks, suspenders, and ties. His AI manifestation projected an icy, glitching silhouette capable of generating translucent limbs. Following his assassination by Kray, who weaponized his research to hasten Earth’s demise, Deus’s AI guided protagonists Galo Thymos, Lio Fotia, and Aina Ardebit upon their accidental intrusion into his lab. He disclosed the Promare’s origins, Kray’s exploitation of Burnish test subjects, and the urgency of halting the warp gate project. Charging Galo and Lio with piloting Deus X Machina, a mecha fusing Burnish energy and human tech, he conceded he might have allowed planetary annihilation had they not intervened. His name, derived from Latin for "god" and the literary trope "deus ex machina," mirrors his crisis-solving role. The surname "Prometh" abbreviates "Prometheus," reflecting his mythic parallel as a knowledge-bearer punished for gifting fire—symbolized by his concealed blueprints and posthumous influence. As an AI, he maintained clinical neutrality until compelled to act, strategically deploying Galo and Lio’s resolve against Kray’s Krazor-X. The mecha’s evolution into Lio de Galon and Galo de Lion validated his foresight in merging Burnish capabilities with engineering. His legacy endures through unresolved ethical debates over Burnish rights, humanity’s accountability toward interdimensional beings, and hidden infrastructure—labs, surveillance networks, and tools—that equipped successors to broker coexistence between humanity and the Promare.
