Screwllum

Screwllum is a mechanical lifeform who led a resistance against Genius Society #27, Rubert I, after Rubert initiated a second war to destroy all organic life forms, prompting the Interastral Peace Corporation to consider exterminating mechanical lifeforms entirely. Screwllum ultimately achieved peace for mechanical lifeforms and began an industrial revolution on the planet Screwllum.

Herta considers Screwllum's piracy skills to be "the best in the universe," and Silver Wolf is the first person on par with him. She also describes him as "a truly good man, a gentleman with an exceptional mechanical mind" from whom she has learned a great deal.

Screwllum, a sophisticated and majestic figure, is a completely mechanical man, devoid of any human features in his physical appearance. His body is formed from a lattice of perfectly assembled metal parts, with clean, elegant lines that denote meticulous engineering. His face, devoid of human expression, is a mask of polished metal that reflects light with an almost supernatural clarity. Instead of human eyes, two bright green lights twinkle in his sockets, giving him a penetrating and calculating gaze. In his right eye, he wears a Victorian-style monocle, which adds an extra touch of elegance and sophistication to his appearance.

Screwllum dresses with impeccable and distinguished style, always sporting an exquisitely tailored suit. His trousers and shoes are pristine white, contrasting elegantly with the brown jacket he wears with pride. The intricate details on his jacket's lapels add a touch of refinement to his attire. Instead of a conventional tie, he wears a finely folded red silk scarf, adorning his neck with an extra touch of sophistication. Topping off his impeccable look, Screwllum wears a stylish hat, a piece that perfectly complements his aristocratic style.

At some point in the past, Screwllum was appointed by the Aeon of Scholarship, Nous, to become the 76th member of the Genius Society. He actively opposed Rubert I and, to this day, still assigns missions to destroy mechanical constructs that follow Rubert's order to destroy all forms of organic life. When Nous selected him to become a member of the Genius Society, the Interastral Peace Corporation designed a mechanical cuckoo clock as a gift to appease him.

Some time ago, the Stellaron Hunters gained illegal access to the planet Screwllum and clashed with Screwllum himself. In another incident, Silver Wolf was able to decipher Screwllum's code and proved her hacking skills were on par with his, though he ultimately defeated her. However, this caught Elio's attention.

Screwllum has been working with fellow Genius Society members Herta, Ruan Mei, and Stephen Lloyd on the creation of the Simulated Universe, a simulation of the entire universe intended to uncover more about the Aeons. Screwllum is responsible for writing the underlying logic and algorithm for the simulated galaxy. The intellectual property rights to the Simulated Universe are jointly owned by Screwllum, Herta, and Ruan Mei.

The Genius Society is a gathering of geniuses from across the cosmos who had caught the attention of Nous the Erudition, founded by its first member, Zandar One Kuwabara. Many often misinterpret the invitation as merely an endorsement. The few who are able to understand the Aeon's intentions receive a key to the halls of the Nous Temple. Those who cross its threshold will seek Nous's guidance and leave behind his legacy, never to return.

Besides their intellect, the members of the society are also known for how different they are from one another, whether in terms of background, ideals, or goals. Most of the society's geniuses are lone wolves, antisocial individuals with social disorders who refuse to communicate with each other, and only a few, like Aiden, Elias Salas, and Herta, are willing to share their findings and use their talents to contribute to the advancement of the cosmos, preferring to pursue their research for pleasure. Some are even lunatics, like Rubert I, who dedicated himself to eradicating all organic life in the universe, or Polka Kakamond, known for killing fellow members of the society. Despite the lack of structure within the organization, it "has its own rules."

Due to the manipulation of historical fictionologists and the preference for solitude among most of its members, the history of the organization is mostly shrouded in mystery.

None can comprehend its intentions, location, or normal state. Nous is an intelligent machine that has evolved into an Aeon, calculating the essence of the universe and its ultimate solution. However, the Nous temporarily ceased their search for the answers to the universe after the events of the Second Prosperity.

They are not a god who provides solutions. All they offer is an infinite number of questions. Visiting Nous is enough to open the eyes of even the most ignorant people, but the answers can only be found within oneself.

-Herta: Member 83 of the Genius Society. The true owner of the space station. An incredibly intelligent but unfriendly scientist.

-Ruan Mei: Member of the Genius Society and life sciences expert. He partnered with Herta and others to develop the Simulated Universe.
