Cerebro

Ghost in the Machine
Introduction xxxxxHe was in tech (literally) before it was cool. Description xxxxxCerebro's consciousness is housed in a cluster of specialized mainframe computers beneath the Danger Room in the basement of Xavier Mansion, and to some extent various other servers on the grounds and across the globe. He renders himself psionically and digitally as a slight, somewhat androgynous young man with light brown skin, wavy black hair, and piercing dark brown eyes. He interacts outside of mindspace and cyberspace through a fleet of variously shaped and sized drones -- most but not all of which are insectoid in design. Reputation xxxxxAmong Xavier's faculty, staff, students, and sundry others, he's known as the diligent if curt sysadmin. Most assume he is just an antisocial technopath who works remotely, but those with compatible powers may have some inkling the truth is a bit more complicated than that. Online, he maintains a number of aliases in various social and professional spheres, and has been involved in hacker spaces since the 1980s, where he is considered both an elder and an enigma ("he's like a ghost" gets bandied around a lot). He has a great deal of cred in that community, largely for mentoring young hackers down through the years and not because he is mad 31337 (although he is, obviously).

He is easy to contact and extremely quick resolve network and connectivity issues, even if he's a little brusque in his communications. However, he rarely deals with any hardware complaints outside of the Danger Room. Transadmin - Cere is a trans man and is particularly protective of trans or gender non-conforming students, in his own gruff way. Dangerous - He maintains and operates the Danger Room, though many assume that an AI creates and executes the simulations. This is mostly true, since many parts of his mind are autonomous and he doesn't personally attend to routine simulations. However, requesting a complicated or interesting sim will often draw his attention. Shall we Play a Game? - He is pretty much always logged onto the school's various gaming consoles, and though he doesn't often proactively solicit gaming partners/opponents, he rarely turns them down -- even the ones he's terrible at Bug Compatible - He also maintains and operates the school's fleet of (mostly insectoid) drones.
