The Sixteenth (The Prodigy)

Intelligent, curious and innovative, but also harsh and at times deeply troubled, the Sixteenth Incarnation of the Original, also known as The Prodigy, is the result of his predecessor's search for the full truth of his history and the history of his people. This incarnation of The Original stands for honesty and openness, no matter how harsh or hard to believe, providing an open opinion to others and inspiring others to explore themselves. He stands for freedom of expression and honesty, taking a strong stance against misinformation and cruelty.

The days to come
During the War on All Worlds during his true second incarnation as The Gallant, he was informed of his destiny as the Prodigy, learning of his true self and his nature.

Before The Beast's renewal into his 9th Incarnation, The Veeran Lord showed The Beast all of his future incarnations, including the Prodigy.

During The Martyr's electrocution, short-circuiting the Terran Cascade, he saw his future as The Caregiver, The Analyzer and The Prodigy.

Post-renewal
After the Analyzer's battle against The Archon Element and The Archon Forces, he struggled into the IDES, breathing his last as his hands began to glow. With his last laboured breaths, he told his next incarnation to "be wise, and kind, never cowardly or spiteful", to "always heal and mend, and make amends for your mistakes", always remembering "to be the best damn you." Struggling to hold on at this point, the Analyzer let go of himself, blasting away the scars and wounds received throughout his battle with the Archons.

As he embraced his new self, the renewal began to erupt, damaging the IDES and sending it barreling towards its next destination, Nightfall. The Analyzer, in all his over-logical tendencies and aspects, was burnt away completely, with the Prodigy, a balance of logic and emotion, love and ambition, emerging. Standing over the IDES console, grinning, he ran out of the IDES, proclaiming "Mare Univalis Beach, Mars, 3142!"

Landing on Nightfall
After his renewal, The Prodigy, at first calling himself the Innovator, stepped out of the IDES, looking around and realizing that he had not landed on Mars. Encountering resistance from the Mercurial Elders and the Nightfall Maze, the Prodigy ran for days, trying to find a way out. Encountering the Final Gateway, repurposed as a gateway for stabilizing a time-loop, he ran through and found himself back in the IDES.
