Biography
He stated that he was launched into space on an exploration mission around three hundred years ago. During his travels, he always arrived at world's of another civilization that was destroyed in a mysterious manner. When he returned to his homeworld, he discovered that his own planet had succumbed to this fate leaving the Seeker the lone survivor of his people. He would journey across the stars where he received the radio signal's of an alien civilization and travel to their world only to discover they had fallen to the fate of his world. During his travel's through space, he had witnessed fifty other world's being destroyed in a manner where the imploded. He attempted to find the cause for these incidents but always arrived too late with the target planet being destroyed already upon his arrival. The Seeker would later travel to the Sol system where he approached Earth and intercepted its communication's to learn English by 7 August 2007. But by the time he arrived, Earth had been destroyed in a similar manner as the other worlds. However, a critical difference came in this world's case as the Seeker discovered a shuttle in orbit containing six astronauts with one being killed and another mortally wounded. He saved these last survivors of the human race and offered to send their consciousness back in time by five years in order to find the cause for the planet's destruction in order to stop the act from being accomplished.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Whilst he was an alien intelligence, the Seeker was able to change his form where he appeared as an elderly white human male.
He lacked a name as his people did not subscribe to the same manner of names as humans. Instead, they identified themselves according to their chosen life path which was why he termed himself as the Seeker.
Powers and abilities
He was the product of a civilization that was said to be five thousand years more advanced than modern mankind. This led to the creation of his starship that operated in a similar principle as a human shuttle but technically more advanced. The craft was large enough to envelope smaller ships within itself where the Seeker was able to replicate an atmosphere for other species. In addition, he was able to project images that encompassed the entire chamber allowing him to visually show events to other occupants.
Though scientifically advanced, the Seeker was unable to travel through time and stated that this was mathematically impossible. However, he was able to transplant the consciousness of organic beings back in time to their earlier selves. This was done by taking their mind as an information packet and projecting it into the body of their earlier selves. Such a feat he could only accomplish with organic sentient's that needed to be alive at the time of the procedure with the Seeker himself not being able to travel through time by this process. This ability could not be done to any point in the timeline as the limit was sending the consciousness back five years into the past.
Notes
- The character of the Seeker was played by actor John Neville.
