Entele

Entele is a renowned philosopher and scientist in the Weave and its current remnants. best known for their ongoing work Cosmological Metaphysiology. Entele built the foundations for the more metaphysical sciences within the Aedentide as a leading researcher in fields of consciousness and the many forms it takes across different realities. 
== Biography ==
Entele was a vat grown human born in the nursery facilities of Triangulum. During their early life, Entele was concentrated on the sciences concerning the Void and null space. Desiring to take their research to a higher level, Entele aimed for Transcendence in their third millennia, and managed to reach the first stage of Transcendence after four hundred years. For the next ten thousand years, the Transcend continued to focus on such research. 
When the Void Storms hit, Entele lost much of their family, including almost all of their generation from the nursery facility. In a frantic attempt to try to retrieve their family, the Transcend enlisted the aid of several Exalts, including Lifebringers who bore the Mantle of Death's Defeat. The attempts ended with little success, as with the majority of the casualties of the Collapse, the members of their deceased family had died within the Void Storms, and what was revived were husks devoid of their minds. 
With this failure haunting them, they changed the focus of their research into the fields of consciousness. Entele threw themselves into this task, studying the minds of different beings and the substrates used to run them. Over the millennia, Entele had come close to finding a way to completely recreate a mind after the total destruction of the original personality and memories, but the First End interrupted their work. The Transcend was on the receiving end of the worst of the Point 01 First Contact debacle and was imprisoned in the Tomb Clouds.
It was not until after the Ascension Wars and the Aedentide had been reformed that Entele was able to resume their research, this time as a leading scientist in the metaphysical sciences. With the research materials that the ruins of the war provided, the Transcend was able to dive deep into the metaphysical sciences of the soul. Alongside the large research group they had formed, Entele conceived of technology able to augment and enhance the soul of a being to new heights. This took form in the prototype Entelethean Construct, a crystalline device that when attached to a body or soul would allow augmentation of one's spirit. Such devices played a vital role in the battles of the First Aeon War, allowing Bound civilians to survive the rampant time paradoxes that the battles resulted in.
During the intermission between the first two Aeon Wars, Entele's career came to an abrupt and tragic end. In what became known as the Carolingian Incident. One of Entele's oldest friends had formed a secessionist group known as the Duarchy and planned to steal a Weave Node under construction and using it to build themselves an empire. Somewhat aware of the happenings of the group but not fully aware of their goals, Entele hesitated to report his friend, who would have had their mind stripped away by Opal Light as punishment. A soul was chosen from the members of the duarchy and underwent extensive and prolonged augmentation procedures. Through their connections, the Duarchy leader reserved a place for the augmented soul as a new Godmind. Upon hearing of this, Entele made those in the Aedentide aware of the group, leading to a covert task force being sent to apprehend the rogue organisation.
The Duarchy's leader, now aware of of having been discovered, fled along with the augmented soul, now having titled it the Carolingian. The Carolingian, having not finished its augmentation, escaped alongside the other members of the Duarchy towards the incomplete Weave Node, leaving a destroyed multiverse in its wake, with no completed Weave Node being close enough to stop it. As the situation spiraled out of control, an Outer God was called in and quickly subdued the being, wiping away its mind and placing the now blank slate in the care of several Godminds. 
Entele, for not having reported the group earlier despite being aware of its existence was a convenient scapegoat to blame. The Transcend had done an immense amount of work for the Aedentide and the other organisations within the Weave as a founder of their metaphysical sciences, but the incident was far too much to ignore. In order to keep Entele away from those who would do them harm while still atoning for their part in the incident, the major organisations in the Weave exiled them to a location hidden from prying eyes along with a cohort of various Exalted and Old brethren bodyguards. To this day, Entele still provides services to the remnants of the Weave, but their whereabouts are unknown.
