Credible Prime

Kalfate

Kalfate! The most important being in the galaxy, keeper of the truth, knower of what is - transcending time yet still alive like the rest. Seekers have always known Calfate was supposed to possess the answer, that his protection was Paramount. And the Yend, the self-loathing, the culturally insecure, and because of this the most evil - plotted to eliminate the one thing that could shatter their way of life. If Calfate proved that there was a designer, a creator of the system, the Yend would be wrong. It would spell their end, the demise of an entire culture and the culture against whom The Seekers struggled with for maintenance of the balance of power. Knowing the truth behind creation equalled a shift in that balance of power and those who knew, ruled. The Yend would assassinate to protect The Secret and that would lead to war. In fact it had on so many occasions throughout the history of Credible Prime. It seems that each generation has its adventurers seeking truth about the Creator or seeking truth about Pragmatica. A once unified civilization had torn itself to shreds over the millennia.

As in those eons past, full of violence and mauling and utter chaos, the directive remained clear; Discover Calfate first. For the Yend, destroying Calfate meant victory. Their culture would rule. For The Seekers, Calfate's discovery, protection and revelation would promise the same. The existence of Calfate would be a weapon to those who found him.

From birth, if you can call it that, Calfate always knew the answer. He could remember the moment he 'Became', the instant he suddenly 'Was'. A flash, a rush of emotion, the instantaneous cataloging of enlightenment. His environment, his world, a window onto a dimension of reality of industry and mechanics and engineering built massive starships stations and fleets of vehicles large and small- that world was vastly different than his and yet he walked both, alone. Along with what he knew to be true in his Misty dimension and lost among the billions that occupied reality, Calfate became a beacon calling out to whoever was looking for the answer.

That was 1,000 times ago, when Seekers and Yend were still the same, when the question of a designer wasn't so much a question as it was an article of faith. But something hidden in him told him that his knowledge was knowledge that could shatter worlds or validate others. He roamed planet after planet Exploring; Learning; Smuggling; Teaching; And finally- hiding.
