Emet

Emet is an android created by Doctor Enver Balik.

During the Second Galactic War, he fought as an elite soldier for the Rebellion and was believed to have been destroyed during The Battle of Callisto.

Presently he is masquerading as a human, with the alias of Professor Brian Lenke. He teaches science at The Pilgrim Space Academy and is in a romantic relationship with Amari Antar.

Planet Herschel
Emet's earliest memories appear to be of the rebel outpost on Planet Herschel, where Doctor Enver Balik finalised the creation of his neural network. He mentions that he had gone through various other incarnations before he became the android known as "Emet."

He developed close friendships with some of the rebel soldiers serving at the base, including Armando Jiminez and Leila Barret, although the outpost's leader Commander Nyland was quite suspicious of him.

Sometime prior to 2204, Amari Antar visited the outpost as a representative of the Church of the All, who were supporting the rebellion. She was immediately attracted to Emet. The plan was for Emet to leave with her and spend some time with her church, developing his sense of morality. However, during her visit the outpost was attacked by Galactic Council soldiers.

After holding off the enemy forces for as long as possible, Doctor Balik, Amari and Emet were able to escape in a shuttle, leaving the other rebel soldiers to their fate.

Starship Quicksilver
While fleeing from the council, Doctor Balik and Amari booked passage on a nondescript starship called Quicksilver, with Emet placed inside a stasis pod and passed off as cargo. Unfortunately, their enemies caught up with them and the ship was detained by Midnight Echo, a Jovian Astrolaw Commission vessel.

When the ship was boarded, Amari managed to hide in a secret compartment, but Doctor Balik was arrested and detained aboard Midnight Echo. The two pilots of Quicksilver - Gail Pilgrim and Sabina White - attempted to rescue him, but Balik was killed during the escape attempt.

Emet awoke to the news that his creator was dead. Luckily, Captain Pilgrim and her co-pilot had already sided with the rebellion. They travelled to Planet Leto, where Emet was smuggled through customs and taken into Hope City. There, a man named "The Colonel" took him and Amari on a shuttle to be reunited with rebel forces.

Rebellion Soldier
Once he was reunited with the rebellion, Emet swiftly took on the role of an elite commando, running special missions for the cause. Initially, he found the act of killing to be emotionally difficult. His solution was to remove his anima chip - which Doctor Balik had claimed imbued his creations with a "soul." However, this meant that Emet became a heartless killing machine, a far cry from what Balik had intended.

After learning that Gail Pilgrim and Sabina White had been imprisoned by the J.A.C., Emet played a key role in organising a successful prison break and bringing them both back to the rebel base in Celestalis Aero-City on Planet Venus.

Shortly afterwards, Gail worked with Amari to install an improved version of Emet's anima chip, restoring his "humanity" in the process.

Personality
Following his creation, Emet had much to learn about human behaviour, and developed several odd quirks. The most prominent of these was his habit of personifying inanimate objects, which he subsequently managed to overcome.

Emet went through a period of emotional suppression, when the removal of his anima chip turned him into a cold-blooded killer. However, he has since developed a much more balanced personality and seems to have little trouble passing for human.
