The icons used to express the Superintendent.
An Avatar is the physical representation of an Artificial Intelligence or AI, used as a way to better interact with Humans.
While not used by all AIs, every "smart" AI uses an avatar as do many "dumb" AIs. This physical representation is chosen by the AI upon their creation and can be whatever they desire it to be. Although the duty which the A.I. is to perform, combined with the Human brain that was used to create it, have a great deal to do with what avatar they chose to appear as.[1][2]
