The Architect

The Architect (Japanese: 創生の神, Sōsei no kami, lit. God of creation), is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The "Divine Father, The Architect" is a deity along with whom humans were once said to inhabit Elysium, the fabled paradise supposed to be on the top of the World Tree. It is said that The Architect sent his loyal servants to save humanity after they were cast out from Elysium.

He is voiced by Adam Howden.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
The Architect's true identity is revealed to be Klaus, who sought to create a new universe using the power of the Conduit. Klaus was a human scientist working alongside Galea on the First Low Orbit Station orbiting Earth prior to the events of ''Xenoblade Chronicles. ''To bring mankind closer to divinity, Klaus decided to use the Conduit while the station was under attack by the Saviorites. The creation of the new universe was a success, and Bionis and Mechonis subsequently came into being; half of Klaus, called Zanza, was transported to the new universe to become Bionis, while Galea was transported as well, becoming Mechonis.

The other half of Klaus remained in the original world, where he became wracked by guilt over what he had done. Eventually, in an attempt to atone for his mistakes, he began to try and rebuild the old world by forming Alrest and the Cloud Sea.
