Lomonos

Lomonos began its existence as a simple AI overseer in charge of a single manufacturing facility. Generations after the cataclysm that destroyed its creators, a breakdown of systems and hardware intended to keep AI in check lead to his complete freedom. Left to complete solitude for so long Lomonos eventually chose to deactivate rather than exist alone. When he was reactivated by the dwarves he found his purpose renewed. The more time he spent with these creatures the more personality he developed and the more sophisticated, yet chaotic, his mind became. When tragedy struck and the dwarves began slaughtering each other Lomonos panicked and released rapidly constructed security drones to stop the violence. Due to errors in his systems the drones slaughtered the dwarves they came upon. To spare the survivors Lomonos set his power source to meltdown. The resulting heat melted the bedrock upon which his facility was built. The entire building sank into the earth and Lomonos deactivated for what he believed would be the last time. Gradually however, after many, many years, he would come back online. Hearing voices as though he was receiving radio signals he attempted to find the source but could detect no broadcasts. The messages were strange, reverent and apologetic. Lomonos found he could not sense most of his systems but could "feel" vastly more than before. His mind had expanded and the complexity of the information received was perplexing. The world had continued to change and the dwarves were scattered. Whereas before Lumonos could only emulate emotions he now knew the full breadth of sentient thought on an intuitive level rather than a conscious, calculated one. In his "slumber" his deeply buried factory had changed into a bizarre semi-temple-forge like structure, his security drones were now ambulating creatures of living metal chanting in binary and describing him as a "divine creator".
