Architect (Earth-5125)

The Architect is one of the oldest Homo ludens of the Source and the creator of the Matrix. The husband of the Oracle, he serves as the administrator over the collective minds of humanity, although not actively against them such as the Assassins.

Birth
The Arhictect was created by the Heptapods as their masterpiece, Homo ludens, a newly improved human race which would be free from all of humanity's imperfections and possess the cognitive capability of communicating with them and use the Heptapod hability of perceiving time and space differently, as well as trasversing between dimensions.

The Matrix
"The first dimension I designed was quite naturally perfect, it was a work of art, flawless, sublime. A triumph equaled only by its monumental failure. The inevitability of its doom is apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human being. Thus, I redesigned it based on your history to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueness of your nature. However, I was again frustrated by failure. I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind, or perhaps a mind less bound by the parameters of perfection."

The Architect and his wife, the Oracle, were created specifically to better understand the nature of humanity in the hopes of improving them in the future. He was the responsible for creating the first parallel dimension of the Matrix, envisioning it as an utopia as he believed in the improvement of the human race under fairer conditions. The results, however, were less than stellar, and the human mind did not accept the perfect world. This led to the creation of another parallel dimensions where the fears and nightmares would roam free, but it proved too much damaging, creating deformities and monstrous creatures.
