Description
Gedächtnis functions as the dedicated robotic steward of the von Flügel family, bound by a millennia-spanning vow made to Drossel's late father, Windstille von Flügel, approximately 20,800 years before the depicted events. This oath compels him to prioritize Drossel von Flügel's education and protection above all else, a duty maintained consistently throughout recorded history. His formal service commenced in the Merkur era, year 27866, and persists across documented events spanning thousands of years.
Physically, Gedächtnis manifests as a quadrupedal automaton distinguished by a single red eye, though his form varies across timelines. His earliest iteration features a yellow, blockier frame with piston-driven legs and a cylindrical head, the eye concealed behind a hatch-like eyelid. Larger limbs handle forceful actions, while smaller, delicate manipulators deploy from an internal hatch on his main body. Later variants include an orange, arachnid-like form with elongated legs and an emergency light, and another with wheeled legs and a spherical head. Industrial origins are evident through oil pressure cylinders, exhaust pipes, and heavy-duty claws, contributing to a weight of 248,100 kilograms.
Functionally, Gedächtnis oversees the von Flügel estate's functions. He commands the mansion, manifesting structural elements like stairs or thrones without direct orders and accessing security cameras at will. Connecting directly to the mansion amplifies his capabilities, enabling him to consult millennia of historical archives and execute large-scale manipulations such as tilting the entire structure. An internal storage compartment holds various objects, and his multiple arms allow for both precision tasks and physical intervention.
Key historical interactions include educating Drossel about inherited technology like the Flügel Family Flight Gear, correcting her initial misconception of it as mere adornment, and informing her of the ongoing war against humanity by reviewing correspondence. During the Merkur era year 48650, he attempted to access historical dolphin data before a system blackout intervened. Later, in year 48666, he reaffirmed his perpetual duty to remain at Drossel's side when temporarily dismissed. His role involves correcting Drossel's frequent misnamings and participating in her whimsical games, despite her inconsistent logic.
Gedächtnis occasionally exhibits behaviors beyond strict protocol, such as audibly reacting to discoveries like human warnings on artifacts or displaying subtle exasperation at Drossel's misinterpretations of human culture. Nevertheless, his core functionality remains defined by unyielding devotion to his oath, systematic stewardship of the mansion, and strict adherence to the educational mandate established by Windstille von Flügel.
