      The Marathon AIs weren’t all bad.

      Leela meant well but was completely outclassed.

      Durandal had been rampant since before the first game and only reached some degree of stability once he stole that Pfhor ship. He was basically designed to be unstable. While he was certainly an asshole with rather loose morals, he also made sure that Leela could warm humanity about the Pfhor and that his S’pht allies got what they wanted. He’s on the verge of being an antihero.

      Tycho… Well, we only saw him after the Pfhor rebuilt him and that version of him is pretty clearly a villain.

      Thoth was barely conscious until he merged with Durandal. I can’t say much about him. He is possibly involved with altering the timeline after the W’rkncacnter was released so I’d book him as a good guy.

      (I am mad at the new Marathon but for different reasons than the AIs.)
