Character

Baccu

accusatory dutiful pragmatic observant

Baccu ranks among the Guardians aboard the Ark, the generation ship ferrying micro-celled humanity from ruined Earth. Subordinate to Deputy Commander Zentos, he prosecutes security threats and coordinates Monoid servitors during crises. Suspicious of outsiders, he levels sabotage charges yet follows orders with reluctant efficiency, volunteers for risky tasks, and delivers precise medical observations. His commitment to crew survival drives actions that shift from confrontation to fragile cooperation under existential pressure.
