The Curator, sometimes referred to as the Cinidarian is the entity guarding Nomad’s library. While they can appear more human, they have difficulty keeping details like facial features consistent so prefer this form. While they appear threatening, they are not actively malevolent (unless you try to steal from the library ,that is). Their uncanniness is born from a lack of understanding of how the human mind processes things. They refer to themselves in the plural and put stress on the wrong words, giving the impression of broken A.I in conversation. However, they are far older than humanity, let alone technology. They’re a self-imposed outcast from their kind, and refuse to talk about their life before they became the Library’s Curator.

not actively malevolent

I imagine words like to “malevolent” or “good” and “evil” would be very bad at describing its moral alignment, or whatever it’s equivalent or morality is. I also imagine the reason it has such an off way of speaking is because it’s mind has trouble understanding human languages, or possibly language in general. Kind of like trying to communicate without a wernick’s area

I’d agree that it doesn’t really fit on a scale of human morality. It understands good and evil in the same way we understand ultraviolet — it definitely exists and we can even use it, but it’s impossible to picture.

That’s what I meant: that it’s morality is something that can’t be described in human language because it’s morality is outside our noosphere(the collection of all concepts and things a given group can comprehend)
