Faust (파우스트 선생 / 박사, Pauseuteu seonsaeng/baksa) is a character in Denma.

Summary

He mentioned in A Catnap (141).

He designed Causality Calculators.

The Duke calls him a good doctor.

From episode Dike (248), one of the Big Four changes to a female body, but it's later revealed that artificial intelligence bots evolve to resemble her own because Faust likes to imitate herself. But the name, Faust, is masculine name and he's neuter, so in the English version, translator is translates Faust as a "him".

History

In A Catnap (141), the Duke says under these circumstances, there's a zero percent chance that could've happened, then that means there're only two possible explanations for this, either someone intentionally squeezed through the time axis, and somehow changed the causality, or he simply couldn't build a better calculator than this one. The Duke says he hopes he didn't hear what he just said, but all in all, if the Patrols took Agnes, there's little to worry about because there're quite a few under his sponsorship there.

In Dike (323), it reveals that Gemoni's father worked as a guard for him, he was also a lab assistant, so Gemoni could visit his lab from time to time, one storage room was filled with machines, he liked to model things after himself, there, artificial intelligence bots were displayed by stage of evolution, how they looked at the final stage is still vivid in his memory, and bio-replica bots like Big Four all come down to one single from of final evolution, in his experiment with artificial intelligence bots, he focused on the situation after the bots surpassed the limits of humans, that's why he needed his father's help, and he asks to the Big Four that he'll think there's something odd about themselves, and the bots don't have the weaknesses of organic creatures, he doesn't feel fatigue from metabolic activities, and he's not constrained by time, in other words, he has infinite abilities, then the bots should've outdone the humans long ago, and taken control of the network and started bombing the planet, that's what humans have always done to create a better future, is he wrong, there's a reason why the bots are following the same path, seeing he get past his singular point and reach the final stage, he was lost in his thoughts for a moment, then he put a limit on the algorithm, of their infinite evolution and decided to use the bots to proboke humans, as a result he's manifesting the same patterns as them.

Trivia

• The name Faust comes from the Faust of Guilty Gear series. Because when Duke Gosan first appeared, there were comments saying that they thought of Faust when they saw the bread bag, so there's speculation that the name may have been derived from it.
