During the first 5 eras of Nexus History, there were three individuals who were said to have helped shape all that was to come next. Known colloquially as Management, they founded the organizations now under the Triquetra Banner, triggered the Ascendence of the Watcher, instigated the notoriously destructive series of events known as the Dark Wars or DWs, created the Ancient Guardians and set the stage for many projects that still persist today. Though each member of Management could share responsibility for the many egregious transgressions the organization has committed, only one such member has taken full responsibility and was given most, if not all the blame for not just what Management has done, but every single bad thing that has ever occurred since the beginning of time. The one and only Remnant.
Appearance
Special abilities
Given the enigmatic nature of David and his tendency to keep most of what he is capable of close to his chest, it's not entirely clear what all he is capable of. As such, the following list only shows what abilities he has been observed to have used and is in no way an exuastive list.
Remnant of Time
David Auctor is classified as a Time Remnant of The Doctor. This has resulted in him holding the following attributes which were inherited from The Doctor
- Curse of Sin: Due to being a time remnant of the Doctor, David shares the same Type 1 True Immortality curse known collequielly as the Curse of Sin, making it impossible for him to ever truly be killed off.
- Supernatural Strength: David has a strength score of 8 billion, making him 7,999,999,995 times stronger than the baseline human and 7,999,999,960 times stronger than the strongest a corporeal form can be before undergoing their first ascension rite. His maximum Carrying Capacity is a staggering 108 Megatons or 108,000,000 TONS
- Supernatural Perception: David has a perception score of 8 billion, making him 7,999,999,995 times more perceptive than the baseline human and 7,999,999,960 times more perceptive than the most perceptive a corporeal form can be before undergoing their first ascension rite, with a Visual Acuity of 1600000000/100.

Which may not seem like much compared to the absurd max speeds of Diana, let alone the Chairman or the Trio but it's still staggeringly fast.

Personal history
To improve readability, we have decided to split this section into "Chapters," as it were. Each section will have a Header above it which you can access from the Table of Contents for this entry
Chapter 1: Origin of Evil
David's origins starkly contrasted with those of his colleagues in Management. He came into being two and a half days into the 4th era, a time marked by the failure of the Colonization experiment and the inexplicable disappearance of the Sorcerer from the board. Before vanishing, the Sorcerer released the Doctor, who then created The Dark Author, or DA; as a Time Remnant of himself, and concealed them in his stead. This clandestine act was intended to keep the Doctor's newfound freedom a secret from all. David, in turn, played the role of Evil and set out to manipulate Dark, his current host, into causing his partial or even full release. However, Dark proved to be resistant to his attempts, causing DA to bide his time and wait for the opportune moment to arise. After the collapse of Ygdrassil, which resulted in the complete wipe of Dark, DA seized his moment and gained near-total control of Dark, transforming them into the infamous Puppetmaster. From there, David embarked on numerous projects to set the stage for his full release, becoming associated with nearly every catastrophic event that occurred. As a result, he gained notoriety as the Origin of All Evil.
Chapter 2: Cracks in the Facade
Despite David's notorious reputation, his overt actions were limited, besides his involvement in pushing Project Libitina and Project Unity. However, David's power and influence experienced a significant shift with the collapse of the 4th era. Codex Memorius, discovered by Althea and Ashia, was accidentally activated, causing one of the seals containing David to break, resulting in his temporary release. During this time, David managed to obtain Codex Aetherius, outmaneuvering Leo's attempt to locate it. David then proceeded to acquire all 26 Codi, using coercion or exploiting uninformed collectors. David's strength and power grew with each seal broken, while his current host, Damien, began to weaken. These ominous signs indicated that the malevolent entity was on the verge of being unleashed. However, as the days went by and he became closer and closer to being free, certain individuals began to question the narrative behind this "Malevolent" entity, suspecting there might be more to this than what has been told. This all came to a head shortly after Eden retrieved Codex Cyclius, when David attempted to take it from them. Eden offered to try and help cure what she called, the Corruptix Curse, which she learned David was afflicted with during her time in the Akashic. David seemed to hesitate, before saying that if she ever cracks the code for such a cure, to hit him up. He then left a "present" for Leo, revealing the memories that the Doctor forcibly removed about the true origin of Haruhiko and the other gatekeepers that made an appearance earlier. Not even a day later, David helped Damien save Kizuna from her Unverse self after Kryrdee accidentally woke them up. Unbenowest to Damien or Kizuna at the time though, David had taken advantage of this window to retrieve an Unverse clone of Kizuna for his own needs, releasing Black AI from his control in the process. David had their own plans for the Unverse, and with that last pawn claimed for his plans, the stage was set and the curtain was about to rise on one of the most infamous events of the early 5th era.

Even now after the truth about his nature, David's motivation is as enigmatic as it was the day they first made their presence known to everyone.
