ARC CORP FILES
Anomaly: 247
NAME: The Clockwork Man
CLASSIFICATION: A
DESCRIPTION: A 6ft tall humanoid robot made of brass and iron. Gears lining the joints and a wind-up dial where the heart should be. Cylinder head with two optics that serve as eyes.
LEVEL: Rumor
INFORMATION: Originally contained at ARC CORP Mantle Containment Facility (Redacted) prior to the massive Containment Breaches 100 years ago. Currently out in the open and a founding member of F.A.E (Faction of Anomalous Entities). Do Not Approach! Keep at a Distance and ELIMINATE ON SIGHT!
HISTORY: Before Atlas was a Kingdom, there was Mantle. A budding kingdom at the head of scientific research and development. With some help from ARC CORP.
One of those scientific developments was the creation of robotics.
Back then, they did not have anything to power it like the robots of today running on Anomaly 002 All Becomes Dust. Back then, they powered the first robot via a wind-up clockwork in the chest via a key. After many prototypes they finally created the first fully functional robot that would eventually be called The Clockwork Man.
Currently unknown how it became an anomaly. Whether it was some anomalous energy went into it or an object that gave it its anomalous properties, the result is the same.
After being fully wound up, it became self-aware and killed its creators by rapidly aging them.
Anomaly 247 or The Clockwork Man has the ability to rapidly age whoever or whatever it touches forward or backwards and storing the temporal energy within itself. Also capable of redistributing that energy to other individuals and other Anomalies.
After being apprehended by ARC CORP employees of the time, it was contained at ARC CORP Mantle Containment Facility (Redacted).
During its time in containment, it met Anomalies 510 (The Seamstress) and 1929 (The Radioman) in neighboring cells.
As ARC CORP Containment Breaches occurred all over the world, numerous object and entities escaped their cells or were stolen. The Clockwork Man, The Seamstress and The Radioman escaped together and fled. Realizing that ARC CORP will eventually reform and come after them, they realized that together they have a better chance of survival.
And from that moment, F.A.E was formed.
Since then, they have recruited other entities to be a part of their faction. (See File F.A.E for more details.)
Within the triumvirate that is F.A.E, The Clockwork Man serves as the most analytical of the three and is charge of the financial, technological, planning and distribution part of the organization thanks to its computational mind.
Despite its body being considered obsolete in comparison to Remnant's current robotic and technological advances, it is skills highly surpass them all.
