The origin of the C.M.C.

As you may already know the corrupted master controller is no easy boss. However that’s not what I’m going to talk about. So what will I talk about? Good question, I will talk about who he is underneath the mask, how he got his armor, why he’s there, and more. So let’s get started! (Spoilers!)

So who’s under the mask? upon fighting him, the player will immediately notice the boss initially squaring off mentally, before beating the player with insults. It’s also a male voice. Another thing to consider is he has the same voice as the abberation ark crashing on earth cutscene. So what? It simply means that this boss, is in fact Rockwell himself.

So why is he there? Good question, assuming he got there manually (via hacking into the simulator) while the abberation ship crashes down, one may assume there’s some purpose right? (Before we get into that I might run out of text, so I’ll post another one to cover it all!) as it turns out, he played his cards perfectly! By implanting himself as the master controller, he is basically the one way out, that being defeating him. But that doesn’t answer the question. What does however is that Rockwell being manipulative, naturally turns to mentally and physically torment survivors. Survivors in the simulation are free game. All of the survivors who have faced him have been manipulated, and twisted. And eventually corrupting them (the vr survivors are corrupted survivors) turning them into his little minions. Doing this not only gives him power in numbers in the simulation, but it also corrupts them outside of the simulation. So it’s game over in real life two. So as usual Rockwell is in it for ultimate power.

How did Rockwell get his armor?

Good question, however I myself am stumped, but I do have some theory’s. So let’s jump in!

The C.M.C is well known for his iconic, as well as intimidating looks, so how did he get/make it? There’s no clear answer how he got it, other than for protection. But making it seems like a stretch as well, unless he has the ability to telekinetically move objects, that’s obviously not the case so I’ll take that out of the question. The only possible way is he coded it in, or just appeared that way. Well this was kind of a disappointing conclusion. Sorry about that.
