The Observer

The Observer is a mysterious, probably supernatural being who watches over the planet Xsarra. He has a ghostlike appearance and is accompanied by a billowing effect, similar to ripples in disturbed water. His main purpose is to provide insight into the game's lore to the player.

History
The Observer is probably very old, having knowledge about events that occurred 3000 years ago on planet Xsarra and even before that. Although he himself states that he watches over Xsarra, he does not seem to interfere with its inhabitants in any way and simply observes as the events unfold. He is also knowledgeable about other places and events in the galaxy, such as Earth or the Hunters' armada.

However, the Observer is not omniscient and he implied that some things are unknown even to him or that he only knows about them by hearsay.
