The character known as Director is a young boy possessing an intellect that far surpasses genius, yet he personally lacks any psionic abilities. He is the central architect of a complex scheme involving a group of amnesiac espers, including Locke.

Director is an ambitious and amoral scientist who orchestrates a grand mission to save humanity, using the promise of restored memories as the primary incentive for the espers' cooperation. His plan centers on isolating these espers within a specialized space colony.

A defining element of his character is an intense emotional obsession with an ethereal, artificial creature of his own creation, whom he considers his one true love. This profound emotional vulnerability becomes a critical flaw, causing a deviation from his calculated plans as his feelings overwhelm his rationality. The obsession shatters his control over the meticulously orchestrated events, transforming him from a coldly intellectual strategist into an unstable and desperate individual driven by personal desire.
