An ancient AI, created by the Jjaro and given to the S'pht'Kr, Thoth is an enigmatic, powerful being. Although he only ever speaks in strangely written, choppy free-verse poetry which is hard to decipher, he has very definite goals. He seems to care little for the wars between the S'pht, the Pfhor and the humans, serving only to keep the Wrk'ncacnter imprisoned. In one of the potential realities created by the waking of the Wrk'ncacnter, he merges with Durandal, creating a strange hybrid. | An ancient AI, created by the Jjaro and given to the S'pht'Kr, Thoth is an enigmatic, powerful being.

The | The W'rkncacnter are a race of immortal "chaotic beings" dating from prior to the dawn of time. Said to corrupt and warp the very space around them, the W'rkncacnter caused Yrro and Pthia to flee their home and come to Lh'owon. When the W'rkncacnter followed the pair, Pthia was killed. Yrro, in a rage, flung the W'rkncacnter into Lh'owon's sun. This is the main plot point of ''Marathon Infinity'', as it struggles for release, attempting to destroy the cyborg, the Pfhor, the S'pht and everything around it. | ||
The | The W'rkncacnter also figured previously in ''[[wikipedia:Pathways Into Darkness|Pathways Into Darkness]]''. Referred to as "The Dreaming God", it is a nearly two kilometer long comatose hulk which, floating through space after a cataclysmic battle for untold aons, slammed into what is now Earth's Yucatan Peninsula. There it lay for tens of millions of years until it began to dream (twisting the surrounding earth into inconcievable nightmares in a gradually increasing radius, a radius which had just touched the surface by our times), to stir, and to awaken. | ||
