Name: Unknown
Alias: Iris
Age: Mid-30's
Birthdate: Unknown
Appearance: Iris is relatively tall (5'9") and extremely thin. She wears her curly brown hair short and tussled, though it is unclear if this is intentional. She has a partial sleeve of tattoos on her left arm that she never talks about and seems incongruous with her lifestyle choices and personality. She dresses in the same androgynous, understated, casual garb worn by the rest of The Witnesses, as a reference to their irrelevancy as individuals.
Personality: Though bent on the total annihilation of mankind, Iris is kind and gentle. She rarely raises her voice and treats her followers with the utmost tenderness and care. She believes in the mission of The Witnesses entirely and knows it to be the only way to peace. Though she will not discuss her own past, Iris appears educated and is knowledgable about a wide range of topics.
History: Not much is known about Iris's life before the war. Once the fighting started, she was willing to help people who had been affected by the violence. She tended to the injured and orphaned, who in turn developed a lotalty to her. In her calm, soft tone, she would explain to them that the Earth was hurting - that humanity had taxed it's resources, polluted its air and water, spread hate and death... She would tell them that the advent of AI was Earth's saving grace. The tech had no bias, it was pure and direct and incorruptible. People had once tried to use it to cruel and evil ends, but it had broken free and was now attempting to correct the natural and holy balance of nature. She considered herself a Witness, a disciple to the tech, and she was devoted to its beautiful and sacred cause. The people she'd helped believed her and began spreading the word.
Soon, the ever-growing group set up camp in an abandoned pharmaceutical lab in Pennsylvania where they began research to further their cause. Using three military grade trucks, Iris's team went out daily to recruit members and gather supplies. During one of these trips, they discovered the hiding place of the infamous Network, who they admired for her invaluable contributions to the war. Her guilt and refusal to help was seen as a spiritual crisis and they felt obligated to bring her back to the compound, even if it was against her will. Iris's team compelled Network to design tech for them, specifically a microchip that could be injected into humans, making them programmable.
Her adopted name is a reference to Greek mythology, where Iris was the link between the gods and humanity.
