Cedric

Cedric is a character in the Solstice route and the the Author's son. He helps Niko travel from the Glen to the Refuge with the flying machine.
Cedric contains KeyG, which is essential in the Solstice run. 
== Bio ==
In OneShot: World Machine Edition, Cedric's bio reads: 
"A prodigious tinkerer and child of the Author. Cedric is the operator of the only known Flying Machine, a miraculous and highly advanced device that can travel the skies. Cedric has been waiting in the Refuge for the day the world can truly be saved. Cedric is hopeful, and eager to play his role in the final gambit." 
== Appearance ==
Cedric has dark skin, fluffy white hair, a black hat with a white feather on the left side, a pair of goggles with green lenses over his eyes, and a smaller pair wrapped around his hat. He wears a black long-sleeved shirt with dark gray sleeves, a yellow scarf, black gloves, and brown pants and shoes.
== Personality ==
Cedric is intelligent and often speaks in a formal manner. He is shown to be brave when he jumped off of a ledge and parachuted down Refuge, as well as risking his life to bring Prototype back by heading into the unstable factory. He cares deeply about Rue and Prototype.
== Background ==
Cedric, Prototype, Rue, and the Author were all "real people" in the sense that they all lived in the Old World. After the Old World ended, they were all saved as code in The World. During Solstice, it is also shown that he's a pilot and a mechanic, flying Niko to Refuge and being able to fix the flying machine using components from a music box made by the Author.
Despite the lack of a resemblance, is implied that Cedric and Rue are both robots. This is mainly due to the fact that if Niko talks to Prototype a few times during the Solstice credits, they ask Prototype what it's like being a robot, and Cedric and Rue respond to Niko's question alongside Prototype. The robot implication is further reinforced by one of Nightmargin's tweets.https://twitter.com/NightMargin/status/1076420198289281025
