A drunken Crafter Alliance accountant teleported from Zockau explains the AI's primal turn before accepting death under Carl's foot.
Hunter Iota is a level-50 Coin Tinker whose empty Blood Bar ejects him from the Zockau pub directly into Kiwi's raptor pack. One dinosaur tears off his leg before Kiwi stops them. He resembles a rougher, two-lobed-headed soother, with veined pale skin, four vertically pierced nipples, sparse black hair, and a drunken drawl.
Iota says the Crafter Alliance expected to leave after a court ruled environmental dangers invalidated hunter contracts under the regime change. The AI nullified that judgment under its own authority and ordered hunters to remain until the floor ends. Iota identifies this as an early sign that a used amusement-park AI has gone primal.
Though classified as a hunter, Iota calls himself an accountant and loot broker. He suspects his supposedly random teleport into Carl's path was selected for drama because he cannot keep quiet. Unafraid of death and unwilling to fight or beg, he asks Carl to finish it. Carl crushes his chest, gains three Intelligence through the suffering ring, and leaves his body to the pack.
A tall, thin, pale, hairy humanoid with two head humps, huge dark eyes, four pierced chest nipples, and one leg severed above the knee.
Iota confirms the AI's primal autonomy and supplies Carl with inside information immediately before his execution.
