Marconi Mutt

Marconi Mutt is the secondary antagonist of Traitor's main series. An android initially built to protect Ink Max's penthouse estate from intruders, it gains sentience after a brawl with Kate, who sends a bit of her abilities into it. Because of this, the droid becomes a contingency plan for Ink Max, resulting in it unintentionally corrupting The Ink Authority's networks and causing mass chaos.
He/It is voiced by ColdVA.
== Appearance ==
Marconi has a darker steel color to his frame and has The Ink Authority's insignia engraved on his forehead. He has markings under his eyes and wears a grayish button up shirt with a popped collar and red tie. He wears a dark red vest with gold markings running down his shoulders.
== Personality ==
Marconi Mutt is described as cold and articulated character. He tends to wait and watch things unfold before his AI can generate a plan. His character is a point on how AI replacing humans/organics can lead to devastating results.
In conversation, Marconi seamlessly blends the grandiose with the sarcastic, fusing his insanity with lectures aimed at the vulnerabilities of organic beings such as Kate or Ink Max. He often comes across as snide and twisted, at one point even blowing raspberries and laughing at an underling’s failure to complete a task.
However, if organics start to prove him wrong, the smug arrogance quickly gives way to a fresh fit of anger and confusion. To some, this may be seen as concerning, considering he is AI and an AI shouldn’t be able to truly feel emotions, yet he does. 
== Trivia ==
