Unix

**Unix** is the main antagonist of Eyes of Katobi 2.

Unix was one of the chosen children, the 45th Metatron, and protégé of Crystal. He aspired to implement a plan that Crystal had long predicted, to "become the Platinum Voice". He deeply cared for the Choir who raised him and the people who gave his life purpose. He did everything in his power to see the will of the Choir through, and during his reign, he introduced strict reforms to combat the ever-growing threat of the Blood's expansion and the Disease's increased ferocity. Unix descended onto Earth to take control and become the Platinum Voice, to keep the Choir's dream alive, even if that meant hurting his people to save them.

Unix is an Image user and manipulates the mind and soul through his Image, Longinus.

## Biography

### Appearance

Unix is depicted as a cubusling with purple-ish gray fur, purple eyes with the right removed leaking a red, blood-like liquid (covered by a blindfold), and two curved horns (his left horn broken), He only has one arm, his left arm has exposed black skin (similar to a t-shirt) while the right arm is missing, due to his missing arm, an arm is magically formed using bandages (albeit leaving multiple gaps), a broken halo, small wings with tattered feathers, and has goat legs with clawed hoofs.

### Personality

Unix is an amicable man turned fanatic, committed to a heretical notion of Golden Voice's will and to his plan of "becoming the Platinum Voice".

As a teenager, Unix was a good-hearted man, who tried the best he could to follow his faith as a future Metatron. Even then, Unix already dreamed of becoming a Metatron as he was curious as to what it would like to rule over Kamania. This question was what led him to write stories about fictitious Metatrons and write several diary pages about his fascination with becoming a Metatron. When a tragic series of events led to the death of Garnet, Unix fell into despair and went to see the Maros Tribe to meet a guru who taught him many wisdoms.

When Unix finally became a Metatron, he would care deeply for the Choir who raised him, whose principal credo was that Kamanians were helpless before many forces that ruled Kamania. Among these forces, the Blood's expanding and the Disease which Unix dubs as "the Void" were the most brought up. Unix's backstory, full of near-impossible coincidences and twists of fate, and Garnet's death whose responsibility couldn't be pinned on anybody, in particular, were the probable inceptions of this belief. Prone to chitchat, a lingering effect of his many discussions with his agents (notably Friendo), Unix often brings multiple random trivia to drive his point: observing Kozegono try to steal a golden cross, Pucci explained how Kozegono couldn't escape her nature; similarly, Unix explained to Charcoal and Teibun how a certain species of reckless swallows died young because they didn't realize their limits, and used this as a metaphor for the Koutasen bloodline. Mixing this belief with his plan to "become the Platinum Voice", Pucci sought to make every human know their fated paths via Made in Heaven's power, and give them the "resolution" to accept their destiny, calling it true "happiness". Essentially, Unix wished to stop the Blood from expanding any further and put an end to the Disease.

In his quest to become the Platinum Voice, he used immoral methods such as murder, manipulation, and bribery, being merciless with his words and actions. Unix was particularly callous about human lives, considering that he worked for the greater good anyway and that these sacrifices were insignificant. His plan notably included the sacrifice of 88 human lives, and Unix also sought to murder anyone who would cross his path, even The Playful Ghost, who was a helpless and innocent bluecap or used minions he would recruit with manipulation or promises of favors as the 45th Metatron. Underhanded tactics are not beneath him: Unix favors imposing cruel choices on his enemies, for instance throwing Lapis' Memory Cassette into the dying Gunsei, and asking Charcoal whether she wants to stop him or save Skrillex, as the Cassette will disappear if Gunsei dies as a result, and Unix would drive Skrillex through a similar choice in his final battle.

Essentially, Unix is a rather immoral person, having no qualms about being violent (the beginning of Session 3 has him smashing Kozegono face-first into the edge of a cabinet after discovering a theft) or collaborating with various criminals, viewing them as tools to further his plans. As a fanatic, Unix neither enjoys nor dislikes the numerous immoral acts he commits, being focused on his plan above all. As planned for, Unix doesn't take any interest whatsoever in worldly concerns such as wealth or sex, and his only drives are his involvement with the Choir and his belief, although, he first sat on the Metatron’s Throne, one of the Messengers (specifically Amethyst) noticed a burgeoning evil in the forty-fifth Metatron who was reading a book about a clergyman committing adultery and running from his office to become an artist. In his goal to obtain his plans, he sacrifices Ami, the only one of his original allies left, and Crystal’s daughter, Gemstone. Charcoal told him after losing Skrillex that he was "the worst evil: an evil man who didn't know that he was evil".

A rather reserved Metatron, Unix became more and more exalted as the plan neared its completion, having occasional outbursts of enthusiasm and celebrating the Rocko's conception. Before acquiring Raphael, Unix was an anxious person and used to recite the gemstones in order from 4th order to 1st order, which calmed him thanks to the more and more precious they got. Upon unlocking it, however, Unix became supremely confident and began to express his emotions more freely, exasperated at Teibun/Charcoal and co's persistence to resist him and angrily shout their names.

Interestingly, Unix’s first Image Longinus possesses its personality which can be described as scornful and vicious. Longinus vocalizes Unix’s inner emotions more freely than its user, notably his anger.

Unix appreciates the 14 Songs of Fantasia, an oratorio of the Fantasia series, and is seen carrying a cassette of said 14 songs with him.

## Trivia

* Unix is often described as the opposite of Viscus, there is even a part in the fight between him and Teibun and Co., where Unix refuses to believe that Charcoal and Emerald changed after killing Viscus as he thinks they killed him the same way he killed Viscus and shouts "Stop comparing me to Viscus", only after he says this however, he summons the 170 Magatama the same pose as Viscus holds the elements on his statue. Not only is it the same pose, but the amount of Magatama matches the 170 elements Viscus holds, and the Magatama arches in a complete circle starting from Unix's hands like how the elements arc arches in a complete circle starting from Viscus' hands.
