The Black Guardian is a human who performed Apotheosis on his machine, called The Goliath, thousands of iterations of The Cycle before The Prophet's. Much of the information regarding the true nature of The Cycle, The High Ones, and Emissaries comes from him.

Origin

The Black Guardian was a normal citizen of his time, except that he realized the true nature of The Cycle and the futility in fighting it by conventional means long before early signs such as the Red Madness appeared. As such, he idealized a plan: Construct a giant humanoid machine and perform Apotheosis with it, survive The Cleansing, and shape the humans of the next iteration in a manner that would prevent the High Ones from exploiting their ego, as a true god to them. However, whether by coincidence or not, The Cleansing came much earlier than he had foreseen, when his machine, The Goliath, was still incomplete. As an act of desperation, he performed the process anyway, and became stuck in the unmoving Goliath.

Abilities

The Goliath was built with "The Eye", an unknown device that allows The Black Guardian to feel emotions and general trends in people and societies within its reach. As such, The Black Guardian was able to learn about The Cycle, Emissaries, The High Ones, The Veiled Woman, and much else, by simply observing what was happening in the outside world. According to him, the Star City was just outside The Eye's reach, which means he doesn't know about the Starling's fate, or the concepts behind their technology.

He also seems to have control over the machinery near The Goliath, as he is able to use them to perpetuously generate fleshless monsters to attack The Prophet after his failed attempt to trick them into switching bodies with him.
