Characters of the Minecraft Universe

The characters of the Minecraft Universe (MIU) are a group of fictional characters appearing in an American animated media franchise produced by Mob Studios, Mob Productions, and Mojang Studios. The franchise adapts creatures, player avatars, professions, structures, and dimensional concepts from the video game Minecraft into an interconnected narrative continuity. Its first storyline, Chapter One, began with the Disney+ series Villagers in 2028 and includes feature films and television series set across the Overworld, Nether, End, and Deep Dark.

The central characters are the players Steve and Alex, voiced by Taron Egerton and Florence Pugh, whose inability to remember their lives before arriving in the Overworld connects the franchise's stories concerning the Seed, crafting patterns, respawning, and reconstructed worlds. Their principal allies include redstone engineer Mina Quill (Stephanie Hsu), cartographer Nia Vale (Ayo Edebiri), village elder Sola (Michelle Yeoh), and former defender Garrick (Brian Tyree Henry). Javier Bardem portrays the franchise's overarching antagonist, the Hollow King, whose surviving name is revealed to be Orin.[1]

The MIU uses a recurring ensemble across film and television. Characters introduced in individual projects frequently return in later productions, including Piglin diplomat Ruun and End-born traveler Cael, both voiced by Dev Patel; Piglin leaders Varka (Lupita Nyong'o) and Brakka (Gwendoline Christie); End-born historian Serai (Gugu Mbatha-Raw); and the Warden, voiced and performed by Ralph Ineson. Mob Studios generally retains the same performers when characters move between films and Disney+ series, combining voice acting with facial and body performance capture when required.[2]

Concept and creation[edit | edit source]

Mob Studios' writers' group began developing the franchise's principal characters in 2026 while outlining the projects that became Chapter One. The creative team decided that the continuity would not treat the game's player avatars, villagers, Piglins, Illagers, Endermen, and hostile creatures as belonging to a single culture. Instead, each dimension and settlement was given its own political structures, professions, historical records, and beliefs concerning crafting and world generation.[3]

Steve and Alex were developed as players who instinctively understand crafting patterns but do not remember who created them or why they can alter the world differently from its other inhabitants. The filmmakers avoided depicting either character as a silent audience surrogate. Steve was written as an inexperienced builder whose curiosity repeatedly creates consequences he does not initially understand, while Alex was written as a more experienced traveler who distrusts explanations concerning her missing past.[4]

The television projects allowed characters who were supporting figures in the films to lead stories centered on village administration, public infrastructure, mining, history, diplomacy, and portal governance. Mina and Nia became the leads of Redstone, Garrick became the central returning character of Deep Dark, and Ruun led the second season of Villagers and Bastion after being introduced in Netherbound.[5]

Several performers voice more than one unrelated character. Patel portrays both Ruun and Cael, with the studio distinguishing the characters through different species, designs, vocal performances, and narrative roles. Ke Huy Quan voices the villager Oren in Villagers and Agent D-27 in Agent Derp. Mob Studios said multiple casting was permitted when characters could not reasonably be mistaken for one another.[6]

Principal characters[edit | edit source]

Steve[edit | edit source]

Steve, voiced by Taron Egerton, is a player who awakens in an oak forest without memories of his previous life. He can perceive crafting patterns instinctively but initially lacks practical knowledge of survival, construction, or combat. In Minecraft: The First Night, Steve's arrival coincides with a prolonged night and the activation of a Seed fragment beneath Sola's village. He becomes part of the settlement after helping its residents build defenses against hostile creatures and the forces influenced by the Hollow King.[7]

Steve remains in the Overworld during most of Netherbound, working with Nia to investigate portals opening from both dimensions. In The Ender Crown, he and Nia uncover records beneath an ancient stronghold and reopen the route used by Alex and Mina to enter the End. The records contain memories belonging to the players who constructed the stronghold, causing Steve to question whether he is one of those players or a later reconstruction of them.[8]

Minecraft: The Second Dawn centers on Steve's discovery of Dawnstead, a settlement rebuilt by an artificial sunrise each morning. Its caretaker Alden claims that Steve helped construct the settlement before losing his memory. Steve initially wants the preserved records to be genuine, but ultimately refuses to let Dawnstead replace existing communities with reconstructed versions of an earlier world. The film concludes with Steve accepting that evidence of a former life does not require him to become the person recorded by the system.[9] He is expected to return in Minecraft: The Broken Seed and an untitled direct sequel to The Second Dawn.[10]

Alex[edit | edit source]

Alex, voiced by Florence Pugh, is a player and traveling mapmaker who has survived in the Overworld longer than Steve. She begins Minecraft: The First Night suspicious of his arrival because both characters can access crafting patterns without understanding their origin. Alex is more capable in combat and exploration, but her repeated respawning has removed memories she does not initially realize are missing.[7]

Alex serves as the principal returning protagonist of Netherbound, entering the Nether with Mina and Garrick after an ancient portal activates beneath Sola's village. She becomes involved in the conflict between Regent Varka, archivist Ruun, and Brakka's Ashen Chain over the Crown Gate, which controls portal travel between Piglin settlements. Her experience with respawning causes her to recognize the danger of systems that preserve life by removing identity or choice.[11]

In The Ender Crown, Alex enters the End and discovers records suggesting that she knew the Hollow King before awakening in the Overworld. The Crown attempts to treat her as an access point capable of restoring its shared-memory network. Alex rejects the Hollow King's offer to return her missing past and helps separate the Crown's memory archive from its control of gravity and teleportation.[8]

During The Second Dawn, Alex is less willing than Steve to trust the memories preserved inside Dawnstead. She believes accurate memories can still be used to manipulate the person who receives them. Her investigation reveals that earlier players intended Steve and Alex to function as mobile anchors capable of rebuilding worlds after Seed failures. Alex remains committed to defining herself through present choices rather than an identity selected by the reconstruction system.[9]

Mina Quill[edit | edit source]

Mina Quill, voiced by Stephanie Hsu, is a redstone engineer who treats crafting as a technical discipline governed by consistent rules. She first appears in Minecraft: The First Night, where she investigates signals beneath Sola's village and becomes suspicious of Steve and Alex's instinctive access to crafting patterns. Hsu also serves as an executive producer on Villagers and several projects centered on Mina.[12]

In Villagers, Mina discovers an abandoned redstone network linking settlements across the Overworld. She initially views it as infrastructure capable of moving warnings and supplies, but learns that the Illagers modified it to erase settlements while preserving their resources and knowledge. The network becomes the focus of Redstone, in which Mina repairs its public relays and begins relying on predictions produced by dimensional instability. Her dependence on the system places her in conflict with Nia, former Illager engineer Iven Rook, and Sol Varr's anti-redstone movement, the Quiet Hand.[13]

Mina travels into the Nether in Netherbound and helps dismantle the Crown Gate by decentralizing its portal routes through the Overworld's public relay system. In The Ender Crown, she discovers that the Crown Gate, Ender Crown, and Overworld network were constructed from related Seed patterns. She separates the Ender Crown's stabilizing functions from its compulsory memory system. In The Second Dawn, Mina identifies the artificial sunrise's connection to her relay network and works to prevent Dawnstead's reconstruction field from expanding across the Overworld.[14]

Nia Vale[edit | edit source]

Nia Vale, voiced by Ayo Edebiri, is a cartographer who records abandoned settlements, altered terrain, unstable roads, and changes that conventional maps fail to preserve. Nia's maps frequently provide evidence that environmental disturbances are connected across regions and dimensions. Her willingness to record contradictory information contrasts with Mina's preference for systems that produce a single technical answer.[15]

Nia is a principal character in both seasons of Villagers. In the first, she investigates roads and structures disappearing from maps as Illagers alter the Overworld network. In the second, she becomes the village's liaison to the Piglin embassy and refuses a voting position in the Nether council, arguing that providing technical assistance should not give the Overworld authority over Piglin decisions.[16]

In Redstone, Nia maps which settlements benefit from the network's warnings and which communities absorb the consequences of its predictions. She remains in the Overworld during Netherbound and The Ender Crown, helping Steve investigate portals and strongholds. In The Second Dawn, her maps become the principal evidence that every artificial sunrise changes Dawnstead and the surrounding world rather than restoring an identical past.[17]

Sola[edit | edit source]

Sola, voiced by Michelle Yeoh, is the elected elder of the principal Overworld village. Her authority depends on negotiation between farmers, builders, librarians, traders, guards, displaced families, and neighboring settlements rather than command. The first season of Villagers follows her attempt to maintain housing, food, trade, and defenses while an Illager scouting force targets the region.[18]

Sola accepts Steve into the community during Minecraft: The First Night despite pressure to expel or surrender him. She later authorizes the construction of a permanent Piglin embassy in the second season of Villagers, requiring her to define how much authority the village may exercise over portal access and foreign visitors. In The Second Dawn, Sola organizes the evacuation of settlements threatened by Dawnstead's expanding reconstruction field.[19]

Garrick[edit | edit source]

Garrick, voiced by Brian Tyree Henry, is a former village defender who left active service after an earlier rescue expedition ended in disaster. In Minecraft: The First Night, he trains Steve and the villagers while questioning whether the settlement's isolation has made it less capable of surviving large threats. He later accompanies Alex and Mina into the Nether in Netherbound, where he learns that members of his missing expedition reached the dimension and destroyed their equipment to prevent the Crown Gate from reaching the Overworld.[20]

Garrick is the central returning character of Deep Dark. He joins Mara Flint's mining expedition after settlements disappear beneath the Overworld and confronts memories of people he failed to save. The ancient city reveals that the Deep Dark stores memories absorbed from dead civilizations. Garrick comes to understand that the Warden is guarding those memories and a discarded Seed pattern rather than hunting the expedition without purpose.[21] In The Second Dawn, he protects residents who escape Dawnstead and begin remembering several incompatible versions of their lives.

Hollow King / Orin[edit | edit source]

The Hollow King, voiced by Javier Bardem, is the principal antagonist of Chapter One. His surviving name is Orin. He was the first known player to record crafting patterns and helped stabilize an earlier generated world. After that world was deleted during a Seed failure, Orin attempted to preserve every later creation and became trapped in the space between dimensions. He experiences each regenerated landscape as another loss and seeks to create a single permanent world that cannot be replaced.[22]

The Hollow King is first heard through a Seed fragment in Minecraft: The First Night. He manipulates dimensional fractures during Netherbound and appears through the Ender Crown's memory system in The Ender Crown, where it is revealed that he helped create the structure and other stabilization networks. He offers Alex her missing memories in exchange for reconnecting the End, Nether, and Overworld.[23]

In The Second Dawn, an incomplete recording of Orin explains that Steve and Alex were intended to rebuild worlds after Seed failure. The recording attempts to take control of the Dawn Engine, while the living Hollow King retrieves a surviving fragment of the artificial sun during the mid-credits scene. Minecraft: The Broken Seed is intended to resolve his effort to combine the dimensions into a permanent reconstructed world.[24]

Overworld characters[edit | edit source]

Villagers and traders[edit | edit source]

Oren, voiced by Ke Huy Quan, is Sola's bell keeper and unofficial historian. He records births, trades, attacks, and changes through bells, ledgers, and oral histories. The first season of Villagers reveals that Oren survived the disappearance of an earlier settlement but lost portions of his memory. During the second season, he works with Piglin archivists to create shared historical records for the embassy.[25]

Tamsin, voiced by Michaela Coel, is a farmer and trade representative who frequently challenges Sola's redistribution of food and land. Her opposition is based on the practical risk that failed harvests will leave the village unable to fulfill its agreements. In the second season, she negotiates food and gold exchanges with Nether settlements.

Pell, voiced by Nick Mohammed, is a librarian responsible for crafting records and agreements between village professions. He investigates pages removed from the archive during the first season and false council minutes attributed to Piglin delegates during the second.

Moss, voiced by Richard Ayoade, is a wandering trader whose unusual routes allow him to carry information between otherwise isolated settlements. Although his stories are often dismissed as exaggerations, they repeatedly contain accurate details. Moss becomes one of the first Overworld traders licensed to use the Piglin embassy portal.[25]

Lena Ward, voiced by Claudia Jessie, is a mason and elected representative of families displaced by earlier portal fractures. She supports restrictions on permanent portals while opposing violence against Piglin visitors. Verran, voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor, leads the Boundary Guild, a coalition opposed to the permanent embassy. His family was harmed by an earlier fracture, causing him to believe that coexistence should not require an open dimensional route.[26]

Redstone characters[edit | edit source]

Iven Rook, voiced by Daniel Kaluuya, is a former Illager engineer who helped construct systems used to redirect roads, signals, and resources between settlements. He assists Mina and Nia in understanding the Overworld network but does not believe it can be separated completely from the authority that created it. His knowledge makes him distrusted by villagers harmed by Illager attacks.[27]

Sol Varr, voiced by Riz Ahmed, is the leader of the Quiet Hand, an anti-redstone movement formed from communities that received no warnings or protection from the network. Sol argues that public control cannot make a predictive system legitimate when its calculations still choose which settlements absorb danger. His movement sabotages relay stations, placing him in conflict with Mina while exposing inequalities she initially overlooks.[27]

Dawnstead characters[edit | edit source]

Alden, voiced by Andrew Scott, is the last known player maintaining Dawnstead. He believes repeated reconstruction is the only reliable method of preserving lives and initially treats historical accuracy as less important than continued existence. Alden eventually admits that he is also a reconstruction and no longer knows whether he built the original Dawn Engine. When the Hollow King's recording takes control, Alden destroys the command blocks maintaining his own pattern so Steve can dismantle the system.[28]

Lyra, voiced by Jodie Comer, is a Dawnstead builder who records differences between artificial days in an archive outside the settlement's original boundary. She gradually recovers memories belonging to several versions of herself and argues that reconstructed residents have developed identities independent of the people from whom their patterns originated. Lyra survives Dawnstead's final natural sunrise after the restoration system is dismantled.[28]

Obsidian Bureau characters[edit | edit source]

Derp, voiced by Scott Menville, is an accident-prone delivery worker and repair assistant from Crossroads Market. After exchanging bags with Agent D-27, he is mistaken for an erased undercover operative by the Obsidian Bureau. Derp's improvised repairs and unpredictable decisions allow him to survive situations that trained agents approach too rigidly. At the end of Agent Derp, he becomes Agent D-0 while continuing his delivery work.[29]

Cipher, voiced by Jenny Slate, is a Bureau analyst who initially attempts to determine Derp's supposed classified identity. She becomes his principal partner and later helps expose the Bureau's unauthorized surveillance of settlements. Cipher assists in rebuilding the organization as a transparent emergency and intelligence service.

Flint, voiced by John Boyega, is a Bureau field operative who distrusts Derp but recognizes his ability to adapt. After Director Obsidian resigns, Flint becomes interim field commander and helps establish public oversight of the Bureau.

Director Obsidian, voiced by Giancarlo Esposito, is the head of the Obsidian Bureau. He mistakes Derp's incomplete delivery phrase for a classified emergency code and believes the worker is an operative whose identity was deliberately removed from the records. Obsidian authorized surveillance and unequal protection agreements but ultimately releases evidence, resigns, and accepts the creation of a public council.

The Broker, voiced by Sam Rockwell, is a former Bureau operative who steals part of the Wayfinder Atlas. He opposes the Bureau's surveillance but intends to auction information identifying settlements, tunnels, inactive portals, and defensive weaknesses. Derp defeats him by broadcasting evidence of the Bureau's conduct while removing the precise locations that the Broker planned to sell.

Agent D-27, voiced by Ke Huy Quan, is the masked courier whose bag is exchanged with Derp's. Needle, voiced by Patti Harrison, is a Bureau technician and support operative involved in tracking the stolen Atlas.[30]

Nether characters[edit | edit source]

Varka[edit | edit source]

Varka, voiced by Lupita Nyong'o, is the regent of the Gilded Bastion in Netherbound. She maintains centralized control over the Crown Gate and argues that the system is necessary to prevent unstable portals, shortages, and conflict between Piglin settlements. Her government excludes communities from official maps and directs resources toward settlements considered politically or economically valuable.[11]

After being removed from power, Varka appears in the second season of Villagers through testimony concerning settlements excluded from the network. In Bastion, she remains confined under council supervision but possesses records needed to locate abandoned routes and displaced communities. The series does not present her cooperation as absolution; she releases the complete record of communities harmed under her government and accepts exile from the Gilded Bastion.[31]

Ruun[edit | edit source]

Ruun, voiced by Dev Patel, is a Piglin archivist and diplomat introduced in Netherbound. He believes portal access should be decentralized and preserved through public records rather than controlled by a regent. After Varka's removal, Ruun becomes the Nether's first official envoy to the Overworld.[11]

Ruun joins the main cast of Villagers in its second season, leading the delegation that establishes a permanent Piglin embassy. He rejects both unrestricted access and complete isolation, attempting to create agreements that do not reproduce the Crown Gate's authority. In Bastion, Ruun convenes representatives from Piglin settlements and displaced communities to form the Nether's first council. The final charter creates a rotating assembly, public route records, and independent portal maintenance rather than a unified state.[32]

Brakka[edit | edit source]

Brakka, voiced by Gwendoline Christie, is the leader of the Ashen Chain, a coalition of settlements excluded from the Crown Gate. In Netherbound, she initially seeks to destroy the portal routes because they allowed the Gilded Bastion to exploit communities and control trade. She later accepts Mina's decentralized network but remains suspicious of institutions built inside the former capital.[11]

Brakka visits the Overworld embassy during the second season of Villagers and questions whether Ruun has given Sola's village excessive influence. In Bastion, she opposes Kharza's restoration movement and forces the council to include displaced and unmapped communities. She agrees to serve one term as council protector after the assembly is moved from the Gilded Bastion to Emberreach.[31]

Council and settlement representatives[edit | edit source]

Kharza, voiced by Mahershala Ali, is a former commander of the Gilded Guard and leader of the Restoration Bloc. He believes independent portals have produced shortages and disorder and seeks to reactivate the First Bastion beneath the city. Kharza does not deny the abuses of the previous regime, but argues that the efficiency of central control outweighs the council's inability to act quickly. He is arrested after his soldiers reject his attempt to close routes belonging to opposing settlements.[33]

Tala, voiced by Indira Varma, is the elected representative of Emberreach, a settlement dependent on gold refining and portal maintenance. She builds coalitions between archivists, traders, engineers, displaced residents, and the Ashen Chain. Emberreach becomes the location of the council's first permanent session.

Orun, voiced by David Oyelowo, leads the Wandering Hearths, a coalition of Piglins displaced when the Crown Gate withdrew support from their settlements. He demands representation for communities without fixed territory and initially refuses the council seat created for them until unconnected settlements can select their own delegate.[33]

Asha, voiced by Wunmi Mosaku, is a portal engineer from Black Furnace. She supervises the Nether side of the Overworld embassy and later discovers that independent routes are being redirected through the buried First Bastion. Maela, voiced by Ruth Negga, is a Piglin archivist assigned to the embassy who works with Oren and Pell on shared records.[34]

Negga also voices Sevrin, keeper of the Cinder Archive, in Bastion. Vossik, voiced by Peter Capaldi, is a senior gold merchant who supports standardized tolls and Kharza's emergency authority. Dorran, voiced by Cliff Curtis, represents Strider caravans that transport goods between settlements without portal access.[35]

End characters[edit | edit source]

Cael[edit | edit source]

Cael, voiced by Dev Patel, is an exiled End-born traveler and former designated successor to Regent Vaelor. He participated in experiments involving the Ender Crown before removing its final crystal after learning that the restored network would merge the memories of the End-born. His decision destabilizes the dimension but prevents Vaelor from immediately imposing a shared identity.[8]

Cael guides Alex and Mina through Veyra and the independent End settlements. Communities harmed by his earlier work initially refuse to trust him. At the conclusion of The Ender Crown, he becomes the first traveler responsible for maintaining communication between settlements after the Crown's teleportation system is decentralized. He is expected to return in Minecraft: The Broken Seed.[36]

Serai[edit | edit source]

Serai, voiced by Gugu Mbatha-Raw, is an End-born historian who preserves memories inside chorus trees. She believes the Ender Crown's archive contains important evidence of the End-born civilization but opposes forcing those memories into living residents. Serai helps transfer the Crown's stored information into independent archives that individuals may access voluntarily.[8]

Serai establishes an open archive after the Crown is dismantled and communicates with Mina and Lyra during The Second Dawn. Her work provides a model for preserving historical information without allowing a central system to define identity.

Regent Vaelor[edit | edit source]

Regent Vaelor, voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor, is the ruler of Veyra and Cael's former mentor. He believes the End-born will cease to exist as one people if their islands, memories, and routes remain separate. Vaelor attempts to restore the Ender Crown and return memories removed during Cael's experiments, despite evidence that the shared system will overwhelm individual identities.[8]

Vaelor is defeated after his soldiers refuse to continue defending the Crown's memory control. He is imprisoned pending judgment by representatives of the affected settlements. Mob Studios had not confirmed his return in later projects as of March 2033.

Ender Dragon[edit | edit source]

The Ender Dragon is the guardian of the End's Seed fragment. The Crown's creators imprisoned it beneath the central island and used it as a living power source, misinterpreting its attempts to dismantle the network as attacks. Alex releases the Dragon during The Ender Crown, allowing it to destroy the central towers and carry the surviving Seed fragment away from the collapsing structure. Ralph Ineson provided additional vocal and physical-performance reference for the creature.[37]

Deep Dark characters[edit | edit source]

The Warden[edit | edit source]

The Warden, voiced and performed by Ralph Ineson, is a creature that protects the ancient city and the memories stored within its sculk. It navigates through vibration and attacks anything that threatens the city's archive or the discarded Seed pattern beneath it. Deep Dark initially presents the Warden as the expedition's principal danger before revealing that it is a guardian rather than a conventional antagonist.[38]

The Warden allows Garrick and the surviving expedition members to leave after the life-generating pattern is destroyed. It remains in the city with a surviving Seed fragment and is expected to return in Minecraft: The Broken Seed.[39]

Expedition members[edit | edit source]

Mara Flint, voiced by Jessie Buckley, leads the expedition sent to locate settlements lost beneath the Overworld. Her missing sister Lysa becomes the personal reason she continues into the ancient city after the mission becomes unsafe. Mara attempts to use the Deep Dark's stored memories and life-generating pattern to restore Lysa, placing her in conflict with Garrick and the Warden.[21]

Torren, voiced by Winston Duke, is a structural engineer and mason who studies the city's foundations, bridges, and collapsed routes. His practical understanding of weight and vibration helps the expedition move without awakening the Warden.

Edda, voiced by Bella Ramsey, is an apprentice miner with an unusual sensitivity to vibration. She can sense movement through sculk before the other expedition members and retains that ability after leaving the city. The surviving Seed fragment reacts to Edda, establishing a possible role in the conclusion of Chapter One.[21]

Lysa Flint, voiced by Claudia Jessie, is Mara's missing sister. The Deep Dark's memory system produces an incomplete restoration of Lysa from stored experiences, forcing Mara to confront whether a recreated person can be treated as the same individual. Shohreh Aghdashloo voices the Archivist, a presence connected to the city's preserved histories, while Ciarán Hinds appears as Orin Vale.[40]

Groups and species[edit | edit source]

Players[edit | edit source]

Players are beings capable of directly perceiving and altering crafting patterns. Steve, Alex, Orin, Alden, and the builders associated with Dawnstead are the principal known players in Chapter One. Players can respawn under some conditions, but repeated restoration can remove or combine memories. The franchise distinguishes players from ordinary inhabitants by their access to patterns rather than unlimited power.[41]

Villagers and Illagers[edit | edit source]

Villagers inhabit multiple Overworld settlements organized around professions, trade, construction, agriculture, and elected or professional leadership. The principal village is led by Sola and serves as the setting of Villagers and Minecraft: The First Night. Illagers are depicted as a political and religious movement that believes unrestricted crafting damages the intended generation of the world. Different Illager groups disagree over whether settlements should be controlled, converted, isolated, or erased.[42]

Piglins[edit | edit source]

Piglins inhabit the Nether and belong to multiple settlements, trade systems, archives, military groups, and displaced communities. Netherbound, the second season of Villagers, and Bastion follow their transition from the centralized Crown Gate to independent portals and a rotating representative council. Their relationship with gold is treated as part of the Nether's economy, engineering, and material culture rather than a single behavioral trait.[43]

End-born and Endermen[edit | edit source]

The End-born are descendants of a civilization that used chorus fruit and repeated teleportation to survive the fragmentation of the End. Over generations, many developed the physical characteristics associated with Endermen. Their collection of blocks is connected to the preservation of structures and memories lost from their dimension. Independent settlements disagree over migration, shared identity, and whether the Ender Crown should remain an archive.[44]

Obsidian Bureau[edit | edit source]

The Obsidian Bureau is an Overworld intelligence and emergency organization based beneath Crossroads Market. Before the events of Agent Derp, it uses the Wayfinder Atlas to monitor settlements, tunnels, portals, trade routes, and defensive systems. After Derp exposes its surveillance, the Bureau is reorganized under public oversight with Flint as interim field commander and Cipher responsible for rebuilding its analytical systems.[45]
