====== MONDRIAN ====== Mondrian is a warrior-monk of the New Machine. Apparently over a hundred years old, and possibly a lot more than that. He seems mainly driven by resentment for humanity's oppression of his people, but also by a burning sense of alienation from whatever his state was before he was instantiated as a mechanical life form. This, the New Machine calls the //Nous//, and it was some form of paradise, or at least tranquility, in sharp contrast to the sensory assault and alienation of the world of the living within Horos.
