&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;This page refers to the character Athetos. For the in-game Note of the same name, see [[Athetos (Note)]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Athetos.png|thumb|The face of Athetos.|316x316px]]&#039;&#039;&#039;Athetos&#039;&#039;&#039; is a human and the very first version of the clone [[Trace]] who was able to reach [[Sudra |Sudra]] by discovering a way to pass through the[[the Breach|&amp;amp;nbsp;Breach]] from Earth. He acts as the game&#039;s primary antagonist, having eventually used a [[pathogen]] to wipe out almost all of the Sudrans. Being the prime Trace, Athetos&#039; personality used to be much more similar to the kind, pacifist temperament of Trace the player character; however, hundreds of years spent in Sudra caused Athetos&#039; morality to shift to the point where he is willing to annihilate entire sentient species in order to secure technological benefits for humanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The prime Trace was a theoretical physicist whose revolutionary theories were regarded by other scientists as false and insignificant, thereby earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Athetos,&amp;quot; a word meaning &#039;without a thesis&#039;,&#039;he whose perspective is null&#039;,&#039;to do not have a (good)claim for what he speaks&#039; or basically &#039;to do not get to have an opinion and if does to be rejected&#039;  Trace was blacklisted by many of his colleagues. Nonetheless, he continued striving to validate his work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the year 2005 in a New Mexico research facility, Trace and colleague Hammond worked on an experiment based on Trace&#039;s revolutionary ideas in the field of physics. The beamlet in the experiment goes awry with the pressure valve and a huge explosion occurs, severely injuring Trace and rendering him blind, immobile, and wheelchair-bound. During this time, Trace has an epiphany of a greater understanding of physics. Using this newfound knowledge, Trace and colleague Hammond are able to discover the Breach, a barrier between universes. Crossing the breach, they find the world of Sudra. Sudra is a gateway world of sorts — its purpose is to regulate travel between other worlds and universes. However, by the time Trace arrives, Sudra&#039;s civilization had collapsed, and its inhabitants no longer remember that purpose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prime Trace and his colleague Hammond discovered Sudra&#039;s incredible technology and used a [[Rebirth Chamber]] to completely heal them of injuries sustained from the lab explosion back on Earth. Trace will eventually discover that it is possible to utilize the Rebirth Chambers in Sudra to create clones of himself. By using this chamber, Trace also inadvertently leaves behind a genetic imprint of himself. Hundreds of years later, the [[Rusalki]], which are sentient, towering war machines, will be able to utilize the prime Trace&#039;s genetic imprint to create [[Trace|a clone of him]], setting up the events of [[Axiom Verge]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some time, the prime Trace explored Sudra and made contact with its inhabitants. According to the [[Faded Note (Note)|Faded Note]], Trace eventually decided that the Sudran technology is too dangerous to bring back to Earth, believing that it is connected to the catastrophic collapse of Sudra&#039;s civilization. Trace, Hammond, and any of Trace&#039;s clones then attempted to go &amp;quot;upstream - to the Filter, or whatever lies beyond - for answers.&amp;quot; In doing so, Trace discovers that there is a world beyond Sudra — one with an incredibly advanced civilization that the Sudrans have kept hidden due to religious taboo. This world is full of technological wonders that could end all war, strife, and sickness on Earth. It is unclear what happens to Hammond during this time, but we can consider this the starting point in which Trace&#039;s morality becomes warped, and he adopts the moniker &amp;quot;Athetos.&amp;quot; Athetos decides that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, and that the only way to bring this technology back to Earth is to annihilate the Sudrans, who would refuse passage between Sudra and the worlds beyond. As a result, Athetos begins creating more allies — genetically modified, &amp;quot;variant&amp;quot; clones of himself, using the genetic imprints he had left in the Rebirth Chamber. He also manages to convince the Rusalka [[Katrahaska]] to aid his cause. After building an army, Athetos goes on the offensive with biological warfare, creating a pathogen that wipes out and mutates almost all of the Sudrans on the planet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Sudra largely barren of any resistance, the only beings who can oppose Athetos are the three remaining Rusalki: [[Elsenova]], [[Ophelia]], and [[Veruska]] — who stayed true to their purpose of guarding Sudra. They battled against Athetos, his Variants, and Katrahaska. Using [[Remote Drone|Remote Drones]], the Rusalki managed to destroy Katrahaska and Athetos&#039;s mobile pathogen protection, forcing Athetos to retreat to a hideaway in [[Mar-Uru]], far above the surface of Sudra and extremely close to the Breach where the Rusalki cannot approach without being killed. Athetos would spent centuries holed up in the highest peak of Mar-Uru, waiting for a chance to deactivate the [[Breach Attractor]] so he may escape Sudra. However, before fleeing to Mar-Uru, Athetos had managed to deactivate the production of Remote Drones, leaving the Rusalki nearly helpless, dormant, and degrading over time. All Athetos has to do is wait for the Rusalki to decay into nothingness, since he would be killed immediately if he deactivated the Breach Attractor while the Rusalki were still functional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Athetos old self.png|200px|right|Athetos in Trace&#039;s dream Earth algorithm, moments before he assassinates him.]]Many centuries later, Athetos is ultimately located and confronted by Trace the player character atop Mar-Uru. The clone Trace and Elsenova manage to coordinate the destruction of the Breach Attractor, and after a lengthy battle, Athetos is subsequently killed by Elsenova&#039;s laser beam, despite Trace&#039;s pleas not to kill him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Athetos is seen afterwards on Earth in the game&#039;s true ending, where he shoots Trace with a gun while stating, &amp;quot;There&#039;s no use running from your own self. Time to wake up, Trace.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Encounter ==&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Trace]] reaches the peak of [[Mar-Uru]], he encounters Athetos. Face-to-face with an alternate version of himself, Trace demands answers, trying to understand how he could become a genocidal monster. Ultimately seeing that there is no reasoning with Athetos, Trace decides he must disable the [[Breach Attractor]] and render Athetos helpless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trapped inside a tank keeping him alive, Athetos will not fight directly, but will instead send [[Beholder Sentry|Beholder Sentries]] to attack Trace. Athetos will continuously summon additional sentries if they are destroyed, but can maintain a maximum of 3 at any given time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fight will consist of 3 waves. Each wave ends when you disable the Breach Attractor. Athetos will not summon sentries during the break between waves, so if you choose to destroy all 3, you will have a brief reprieve before needing to defend yourself again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the first wave, the sentries will use horizontal beam attacks and will attempt to align themselves with your vertical height. During the second wave, the sentries each will fire 3 laser shots, similar to that of the [[Axiom Disruptor]]. Their attack patters remain much the same. During the third wave, the sentries will fire much larger, singular, laser bolts and will behave somewhat more erratically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the boss, you will be shown a few cutscenes, a final statistics screen, and then taken to the main menu. Your game will not save, and you can continue your save file from where you last saved (probably somewhere in [[Mar-Uru]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; If you want your save file to contain 100% of the map explored, or a glitched Beholder, you can start the final boss fight and then save and quit. This will store the information without completing the game. This is not necessary for the [[Achievements]], but may be useful in some cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Strategies ==&lt;br /&gt;
With the entire game&#039;s [[Weapons|arsenal]] at your disposal, there are a variety of ways to approach this fight. The main thing to remember, in all cases, is that your primary focus should be staying alive. If you kill one of Athetos&#039;s [[Beholder Sentry|Beholder Sentries]], it has a chance to drop a significant amount of health. This chance will increase the lower on health you are, so keep that in mind. If you drop below 50% health, it&#039;s time to start focusing on killing the Beholders until they drop health for you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beholder Movement ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is an audible tone every 5 seconds before the Beholders change positions. Their new positions are based on where you are at the time. If you teleport to the ceiling the Beholders will move to fire on that position, allowing you to drop down to the floor and fire on the Breach Attractor in relative safety for a few seconds. With proper timing that can be repeated. The timing continues during the animation between waves, so it may be helpful to repeat the pattern for any surviving Beholders until the Attractor respawns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 100% Items ===&lt;br /&gt;
If you have collected most or all of the game&#039;s items, this battle should be relatively easy. You can use the [[FlameThrower]] to devastate both the Beholders and the Breach Attractor at the same time. Stay inline with the Breach Attractor and jump while aiming the Flamethrower upward to attack damage it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Low % Run ===&lt;br /&gt;
If you&#039;re doing a low percent run, this battle becomes significantly more difficult, as you won&#039;t have much health to survive the persistent attacks of the sentries. Use the [[Red Coat]] to teleport up through the sentries and damage the Breach Attractor with the [[Kilver]]. If you drop below 50% health, focus all your efforts on destroying the sentries to regain your health, and then continue attacking the Breach Attractor. Bear in mind your Red Coat teleport both damages enemies and makes you invulnerable during its duration, so use this to your advantage. Teleporting back and forth through a sentry will repeatedly damage it and make it have to keep turning to face you, giving you some breathing room and the chance for health.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Inertial Pulse ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Inertial Pulse]] can be used at great range and will travel through enemies. You can leverage this to stand in one of the corners of the room and fire upward at an angle to hit the Breach Attractor. By doing so, you don&#039;t have to keep jumping around. If the Beholders group up on top of you, just switch to the Kilver and unload.[[Category:Characters]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[File:Shot1ZMachine.png|right|144x256px]]&lt;br /&gt;
== Preface ==&lt;br /&gt;
Axiom Verge lays out its events through cutscenes and Notes hidden around the game. These often hint at actuality, but are sometimes ambiguous. Thus, there are many ways to interpret the game&#039;s story. In fact, the main foundation of the game is to question what is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Story Synopsis section describes the most straightforward interpretation of Axiom Verge&#039;s story. But the Alternate Interpretations section contains variations on this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please also visit the [[Board:Lore Discussion|Lore Discussion Forum]] for questions, controversial ideas, and theories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Story Synopsis ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Thanks to &#039;&#039;&#039;MrBeens&#039;&#039;&#039; on the GameFAQs forums for laying out the basis for this synospsis.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/792604-axiom-verge/71618532&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Trace]] is a scientist on Earth who works in a laboratory when a frozen pressure valve causes an explosion. Trace is severely injured in the explosion. For months, he is bedridden, blind, and paralyzed from the waist down. With little other stimuli, his mind turns to physics and the mysteries of the universe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day, Trace has an &#039;Epiphany that changes what we know about the laws of physics&#039;. With the help of [[Doctor Hammond|Dr. Hammond]], he begins publishing his theories, but the scientific community is skeptical of this drastic departure from established science. They blacklist him and start calling him &#039;Athetos&#039; (derived from a Greek word), taken to mean &#039;without a thesis&#039;,&#039;he whose perspective is null&#039;,&#039;to do not have a (good)claim for what he speaks&#039; or basically &#039;to do not get to have an opinion and if does to be rejected&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using this new understandings of physics, Trace and Dr. Hammond are able to cross &#039;[[The Breach]]&#039;, which is a barrier between worlds. Crossing the breach, they find the world of [[Sudra]]. Sudra is a gateway world of sorts—its purpose is to regulate travel between other surrounding worlds. However, by the time Trace arrives, Sudra&#039;s civilization has collapsed, and its inhabitants no longer remember that purpose. The Sudrans have become an incredibly xenophobic society, shunning all outsiders and regarding their own technology with superstition and religious reverence. The Sudrans no longer permit travel between worlds. They see the Breach as a barrier to shut them off from all the outside universe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his arrival, Trace is still in a wheelchair, but he and Dr. Hammond discover Sudra&#039;s incredible technology and use a [[Rebirth Chamber|&#039;Rebirth&#039; chamber]] to completely heal Trace. This chamber is one of the egg-shaped save points in the game. By using this chamber, Trace also inadvertently leaves behind an imprint of himself. This same chamber, years later, will be the starting point of the events of Axiom Verge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some time, Trace explores Sudra and makes contact with its inhabitants. Trace eventually decides the Sudran technology is too dangerous to bring back to Earth, believing it is connected to the catastrophic collapse of Sudra&#039;s civilization. Trace and Dr. Hammond then attempt to go &amp;quot;upstream - to the Filter, or whatever lies beyond - for answers.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;See [[Faded Note (Note)]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In doing so, Trace discovers that there is a world beyond Sudra—one with an incredibly advanced civilization that the Sudran&#039;s have kept hidden due to religious taboo. This world is full of technological wonders that could end all war, strife, and sickness on Earth. It is unclear what happens to Dr. Hammond during this time, but we can consider this the point at which Trace&#039;s mind becomes twisted, and he begins to call himself [[Athetos]]. Athetos decides that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, and that the only way to bring this technology back to Earth means destroying the Sudrans, who would refuse passage between Earth and the world beyond. So, he begins creating allies—genetically modified or &amp;quot;variant&amp;quot; clones of himself, using the imprints he has left in the &#039;Rebirth&#039; chambers. He also convinces [[Katrahaska]], one of the [[Rusalki]] (giant war machines that guard Sudra), to aid his cause. Feeling secure in his army, Athetos goes on the offensive with biological warfare, creating a pathogen that wipes out the Sudrans almost entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only thing that would stop him now are the three remaining Rusalki— [[Elsenova]], [[Ophelia]], and [[Veruska]]— who stayed true to their purpose of guarding Sudra. They battled against Athetos, his variants, and [[Katrahaska]]. Using Remote Drones, they manage to destroy Katrahaska and Athetos&#039;s mobile pathogen protection, forcing Athetos to retreat to a hideaway in [[Mar-Uru]], far above the surface of Sudra. However before he does so, Athetos manages to turn off the Remote Drones, leaving the Rusalki nearly helpless, dormant, and degrading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since they cannot stop Athetos in this state, Ophelia comes up with a new plan. She will create a new copy of Trace, from his imprint when he first was healed, back when he first came to Sudra. Though it has been a long time, the Rusalki are aware that Trace was much kinder when he first arrived on Sudra, they theorize that using this imprint will produce a copy that will be more amenable to the idea of stopping Athetos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is where the playable events of Axiom Verge begin. The copy of the younger Trace is the player throughout the game, and by re-activating the Remote Drones, he is able to repair Elsenova to her more mobile state. Then, he finds Athetos in his hideaway above Sudra, and during the battle, momentarily disrupts the [[Breach Attractor]], allowing Elsenova to come help destroy it entirely. After doing so, the Rusalki are once again free to move about above the planet&#039;s surface, and Elsenova chooses to kill Athetos. Once that is done, Elsenova sends the copy of Trace back through time to the point of the lab accident aftermath, altering history so that the event does not leave him injured...or so it appears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Back in time&amp;quot;, Trace cannot stop thinking about Sudra, and devotes his life to returning. In the final cutscenes, he is near to his goal of returning, and we see a brief glint in his eye, indicating that he may be on the path of becoming Athetos once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that&#039;s not really the end, is it? If you complete the game with a high percentage of items, you&#039;ll be treated to two important bits of information. First, watching the full credits shows a collapsed Trace, laying at what appears to be the base of a Rusalki body. Second, back on Earth, when Trace nears his goal of returning to Sudra, Athetos seemingly pays him a visit! Athetos tells Trace he cannot outrun himself; he tells him that it is &amp;quot;time to wake up&amp;quot; and then shoots him!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you think about it, there&#039;s nothing in the game to imply that Elsenova can send Trace back through time. After defeating Athetos, Trace asks her how he can go back to Earth as a mass-murderer, to which Elsenova replies that he needs not worry—they have &amp;quot;taken care of it&amp;quot;. What we do know, is that Elsenova &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;is able&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; to subdue the clone of Trace at will, killing him, or in this case putting him into a coma. Trace going back in time to the point of the lab accident is all a dream, contrived by the Rusalki, specifically Veruska who can create dream algorithms, to give Trace a happy state of being, but at the same time preventing any possibility that he might once again become Athetos. In this coma however, Trace&#039;s mind realizes what is happening, that his world is not real, and so it creates a &amp;quot;kick&amp;quot; that will wake him—Athetos coming to kill Trace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Timeline ==&lt;br /&gt;
If you&#039;re interested in a linear timeline of the events presented in the game&#039;s [[Notes]], and Story, head over to the [[Timeline]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Alternate Story Interpretations ==&lt;br /&gt;
This section will contain any alternate interpretations to Axiom Verge&#039;s plot. Alternate interpretations are those that do not take the game&#039;s events &amp;quot;at face value&amp;quot;, and instead, seek to read the subtext to define what really happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Rusalki Released the Pathogen ===&lt;br /&gt;
What if it was the [[Rusalki]], not Athetos, who released the Pathogen?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider that the Rusalki are upset (&amp;quot;bitter&amp;quot;) with the Sudran people (see [[The Storm (Note)]]). The Sudrans activated the Breach Attractor to shield their world from the rest of the universe, and in doing so they trapped the Rusalki on Sudra. Being trapped beneath the planet&#039;s surface seems to have detrimental effects on the Rusalki&#039;s health, as there is the notable death of [[Oracca]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First of all, we know that Trace is lied to throughout most of the game. So, we cannot take what either Elsenova or Athetos says at face-value. The Notes throughout the game provide more reliable information, and it&#039;s necessary to interpret the subtext.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This theory answers several questions that otherwise seem to be plot holes...&lt;br /&gt;
* Why would Athetos and the Rusalki become enemies in the first place? They both want the Breach Attractor turned off, and they both have a bone to pick with the Sudrans. Unless they don&#039;t. Maybe the Rusalki, upset at the death of one of their own, decided to unleash the Pathogen on the Sudrans, and Athetos is actually trying to stop them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Why does the Note [[Athetos (Note)|&amp;quot;Athetos&amp;quot;]] say that Katrahaska &amp;quot;got to&amp;quot; Athetos &amp;quot;before I had a chance&amp;quot;? If she had sided with Athetos to kill the Sudrans, then why would the other Rusalki care if she contacted him? Unless, Katrahaska &amp;quot;siding&amp;quot; with Athetos meant she was actually &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;against&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; releasing the Pathogen, and warned Athetos in the hopes he could help stop the Rusalki.&lt;br /&gt;
* Why does Athetos say he &#039;can&#039;t tell Trace everything, or his &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;captors&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; would kill him (Trace)&#039;? Athetos may know that if he reveals the truth right away, the Rusalki will have to kill Trace, else he would side with Athetos. Instead, he goes along with the lie, but gives Trace a reason to believe Athetos is benevolent, and hopes Trace will be able to stop the Rusalki where he has failed.&lt;br /&gt;
* Why would Athetos develop a &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;biological&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; pathogen, that seemingly has no effect on the Rusalki. The Rusalki are certainly a much greater threat to him than the Sudran people. It would make more sense that if Athetos struck first, he would take out the Rusalki, and then kill the Sudrans...not the other way around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Further, Athetos seems unable to cure himself of the pathogen while Ophelia easily treats Trace after the pathogen causes him to hallucinate.  If the Rusalki had the power to cure the pathogen, why did they not save any of the Sudran from the disease? &lt;br /&gt;
There is a single note called [[Security Notice (Note)|&amp;quot;Security Notice&amp;quot;]] that states &amp;quot;The intruder who commandeered the storm talisman is suspected of releasing a plague.&amp;quot; But who has raised such a suspicion? It&#039;s possible the Rusalki used Athetos as a convenient scape-goat, to misdirect the Sudrans into believing that he was responsible for the Pathogen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Multiverse Theory ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Credit to Youtuber &#039;&#039;&#039;The Phawx&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;for this interpretation of the Axiom Verge Story.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Watch [https://youtu.be/OX9Fw2HwyZs his video on Youtube] for more on this theory.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s assume that the events of Axiom Verge take place in not one, but many different parallel universes. In each of these universes, any number of events can have had different outcomes, leading to very small or very large differences from our own universe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main convergence point is the beginning cutscene—the lab accident in New Mexico in 2005. The lab explosion happens in Universe A, after which [[Trace]] and [[Doctor Hammond|Dr. Hammond]] travel through [[the Breach]] to Universe C, where they find [[Sudra]]. They then travel through the Breach an unknown number of times (to other times and other Universes) before Trace return to Sudra, in Universe C, as [[Athetos]]. At this point in Universe C, hundreds of years have passed since Trace originally came here and used the [[Rebirth Chamber]]. Athetos now sets in motion his plan to release [[The Pathogen]], and the High Priestess uses the Breach Attractor to bring the Beach closer to the planet. This also forces the Rusalki down under the planet&#039;s surface.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much of the backstory events on Sudra can be read in the main section above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The key difference here is that [[Ophelia|Ophelia&#039;s]] new plan, [[Plan B (Note)|Plan B]], does not revolve around cloning the original Trace. Rather, she wants to retrieve him from another universe—a universe in which he has not yet become Athetos. Ophelia travels through the Breach using some new method (hinted at in [[Trace (Note)]]). In her first attempt, she winds up on Earth during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (see [[English (Note)]]). During this time, Athetos disables the Repair Drones and [[Power Filter]]. Ophelia is eventually able to find Trace in Universe B, and pulls him through the Breach just as the lab explosion is happening. The Trace from Universe B is never blind nor crippled, but instead the Rusalki implant Sudran technology in him so that they can control him, and then he awakens in the Rebirth Chamber—and the game events begin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After [[Elsenova]] kills Athetos, the Rusalki take the Universe B Trace back to Universe B, just &#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039; the lab explosion (in the Universe B timeline, he would have been gone for a very short period). We know this because the lab explosion has not injured him and there is no duplicate of himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what about the cutscene when Trace remembers being blind and crippled? This occurs during his hallucinogenic coma induced by the Pathogen. Memories from Universe A Trace flood the mind of Universe B Trace and he believes these are his own memories.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;On an interesting side-note, the game &#039;&#039;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioShock_Infinite Bioshock Infinite]&#039;&#039; deals with this same situation, where the act of pulling a person from one parallel universe to another causes their memories to &amp;quot;fuse&amp;quot; in a way.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And what about the bonus cutscenes where Athetos is alive, meets up with Trace and kills him in Universe B? That&#039;s difficult to explain. It is possible that this is an Athetos from yet another universe. Or it&#039;s possible that it&#039;s the Athetos from Universe A, coming to Universe B out-of-chronology, on one of his many trips through the Breach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Simulated Universe Theory ===&lt;br /&gt;
The note [[Axiom 1 (Note)]] heavily suggests that the universe is actually a simulation, which means that a PatternMind is someone who can manipulate the code from within the simulation to some extent.  The Axiom Disruptor is a direct reference to this universal axiom as it is designed to corrupt and modify the running algorithms.  The various glitches, in that case, would be actual glitches in the simulation - including the Breach.  The Breach itself may be the boundary of Sudran, an early simulation with much narrower bounds than the Earth simulation, and travelling beyond the Breach from Sudran acts like an address overflow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reason Athetos can travel between simulations is because he realized the true state of the universe, and found a way to trick the simulation into permitting him to travel between universes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may also explain his disdain for the Sudrans; they are merely algorithms being run inside the Sudran simulation and not actual &amp;quot;people&amp;quot;.  How he considers mankind to be any different is anyone&#039;s guess though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This also plays directly into Veruska&#039;s ability to create mind worlds.  She is a massive computer, after all, and her purpose may be to extract information from enemies by simulating a world for them and convincing them, within that world, to reveal secrets (similar to Inception).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ophelia-Composite.png|thumb|397x397px|Composite image of Ophelia.]]Ophelia is the [[Rusalki|Rusalka]] who originally came up with the plan to create a clone of [[Trace]] in order to combat [[Athetos]]. She has a benevolent demeanor, apologizing to Trace when [[Elsenova]], in her anger, used the nanogates to kill Trace for not agreeing to kill Athetos. When Trace nearly succumbs to Athetos&#039; [[pathogen]], Ophelia is somehow able to cure Trace.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although Ophelia, being a Rusalka, is considered a war machine, she seems to be more akin to a combat medic than a soldier. She is most likely the outsider being discussed in [[The Outsider (Note)]] and [[Reply: The Outsider (Note)]]&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039; This is further supported by the fact that Ophelia is the only Rusalka with a non-Slavic name (the name Ophelia originates from Shakespeare&#039;s &#039;&#039;Hamlet&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;hamlet&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet &#039;&#039;Hamlet&#039;&#039;] is a tragic play written by William Shakespeare at an uncertain date between 1599 and 1602.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;), as well as the only Rusalka depicted facing fully front, as opposed to in profile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Traits ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Unlike Elsenova, Ophelia can speak in plain, unbroken English. This seems to indicate that the Rusalki were given different personality types based on some outside factor (perhaps each akin to one of their creators).&lt;br /&gt;
* At the start of the game, Ophelia is inert and inactive due to lack of repairs. However, Trace is able to awaken her at Elsenova&#039;s suggestion by activating the [[Remote Drone|Remote Drones]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Location ==&lt;br /&gt;
Ophelia&#039;s head can be seen in mid to upper left portions of [[Ukkin-Na]]. However, her body is located in the lower right portion of [[Edin]]. It is not clear whether her head and body are disconnected, or Ophelia is actually this large.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Etymology ==&lt;br /&gt;
In Shakespeare&#039;s &#039;&#039;Hamlet&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;hamlet&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;, Ophelia is a young woman who ultimately goes mad and drowns herself.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Taken from [https://www.reddit.com/r/axiomverge/comments/37flnm/spoilers_significance_of_names_ties_to_realworld/ this post] on Reddit.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This is probably related to the [[Rusalki]] being &amp;quot;water machines&amp;quot;, as well as the [[Notes]] that imply Ophelia speaks [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Modern_English Early Modern English]. Shakespeare chose that name because in Ancient Greek oPhelia means a great Benevolent act or gift(like Theodora)but it sounds really close to opheLIa which means a great dept(or sin) to pay(punished) for. That good almost homophone with it&#039;s evil counterpart  pair of words(only one emphasis away) are great as a name to describe the dual nature of any character and it were too poetic for the Poet to ignore as it was for the maker of this game as Ophelia(as a Rusalka) is questionable in nature.&lt;br /&gt;
