NESTOR
NESTOR is a highly advanced Imperial battle droid, custom-built as a personal bodyguard and servant for Cornelius Copperfield III. Unlike the mass-produced automatons that serve the Eternal Empire’s military, NESTOR is an elite, bespoke model—an expensive and highly sought-after guardian designed for the wealthiest individuals of Avalon. His sleek, matte-black plating is reinforced with high-grade magitech alloys, making him both durable and imposing. Standing over six feet tall, NESTOR is designed with broad shoulders, segmented armor plating, and a streamlined, humanoid form that conveys both elegance and lethality.
Programmed with advanced combat protocols and unwavering loyalty, NESTOR follows Cornelius wherever he goes, serving as his first and last line of defense against any potential threat. His artificial intelligence is sophisticated yet rigid—designed to prioritize his master’s safety above all else, even at the cost of his own operational integrity. Though he lacks the free will of a Warforged, his responses are far more adaptive than the typical imperial droid, allowing him to analyze threats, anticipate dangers, and respond with tactical precision. Despite his intimidating presence, NESTOR is not merely a killing machine. His programming includes etiquette subroutines, making him a capable servant and assistant in addition to being a bodyguard. He carries out mundane tasks with robotic efficiency, whether it be preparing Cornelius’s equipment, managing expedition logistics, or simply ensuring his master’s tea is brewed to perfection. His speech is formal, articulate, and laced with an unwavering deference to Cornelius, often addressing him as “Master Copperfield” or “Sir” with a crisp, mechanical eloquence. Armed with integrated magitech weaponry, NESTOR is more than capable of handling himself in combat. His forearm houses a concealed flintlock repeater, capable of unleashing rapid bursts of fire, while his reinforced plating makes him highly resistant to conventional weaponry. His strength far exceeds that of most organic beings, allowing him to neutralize threats with brutal efficiency should the need arise. He also comes equipped with a mining laser concealed within his other forearm, which serves to aid Cornelius on his expeditions for artifacts. While NESTOR is completely loyal to Cornelius, his strict adherence to protocol sometimes creates friction—his unwavering dedication to imperial law occasionally conflicting with his master’s more adventurous tendencies. Nevertheless, NESTOR remains steadfast at Cornelius’s side, an ever-watchful sentinel in his lifelong pursuit of archaeological discovery.
