Sylens past is shrouded in mystery and stained with treachery. into a 'FAS-BOR7 Horus' unit the massive spider-esque machines that are used to terraform the Earth, and remain deactivated across the land. Sylens is one of the characters in the game Horizon: Zero Dawn. At the end of Zero Dawn, in the scene where Sylens holds the remanents of Hades, instead of gearing up to make the same mistakes twice could Sylens be learning from his first interactions with the AI and using it to learn more about the bigger picture, like the people or machines that sent the corrupted file/transmission to GAIA that. Remember in LOST, how Locke thought the hatch's beam of light was 'a sign', yet it was just Desmond shining a torch? Such a comment on belief would fit very well with Horizon's comments on religion (which I'll get to).įor now, Sylens clearly wasn't the one who triggered HADES' initial awakening, but the game does end with him appearing to load HADES' A.I. However I think Sylens is the kind of character that works best when the writers don't try to work inside a good/evil lens. He puts his desire for knowledge above all else, including innocent lives.

In the Announcement Trailer, Sylens can be seen accompanied by a new tribe thats able to override and control machines. If I had to pick one I'd say yes, he's a bad guy. can fly), and even he asks HADES what caused it to activate and fight GAIA in the first place.Ĭlearly, being HADES itself refers to the signal as his 'Master', there's a larger network of influencers at play. 'core' inside (though don't ask me how a computer A.I. Part of the ending shows Sylens has constructed a 'cage' to keep the floating HADES A.I. First up there's Sylens, a helper-character who formed the cult group, Eclipse, to worship HADES - who he found derelict following GAIA's self-destruct, that rendered HADES unusable.
