— Lodi

Lodi, also known as Louis Yero, is a pre-Golden Age Human brought forth through time to serve as the Nine's current Emissary, during The Edge of Fate.

Biography

Early Life

Nicknamed "Lodi", for Lodi, Wisconsin, where he was born during the space age, Louis Yero had a brother named Ben and family members who taught him various languages throughout his life. He grew to become a polyglot who would serve in a war, then later take a position as a linguist specializing in alien translation at the Department of External Observation. When he started there, the DEO was investigating an unknown energy weapon linked to the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy.

During his employment at the DEO, Louis met Dr. Nella Davis, a mathematician working on Project Graviton, and began experiencing strange dreams. After bumping into her near a DEO containment room that contained a ringing phone unconnected to a rotor, Lodi would enter and answer it, where he would be pulled forward in time by the Nine into the City Age after the Witness's death and the creation of the Echoes.

Arrival on Kepler

Louis would arrive on Kepler after Orin left her position as the Emissary of the Nine and would fall into the care of the Aionians, an enclave of scientists on Kepler who once worked alongside the House of Exile before the latter began to worship a being known to them as "the Giver". He adopted his nickname upon meeting with the Aionians and began recording a series of messages, one of them being received from the Anomaly near Vesper Station in Europa's orbit by Astraea, the central AI aboard there. The Guardian, the Drifter, and Ikora Rey met Lodi as the Vanguard was investigating a singularity that is threatening the planetoid and the Sol System. He later began receiving strange visions and was in the process of becoming the next Emissary of the Nine under the guidance of Orin, who he met later on once she had regained consciousness. Lodi revealed to Ikora that he recognized her because she resembled his colleague during his time at the DEO. He was able to embrace his role as the Emissary when he learned that the Nine member III was killed by Maya Sundaresh by forcing it, a fourth-dimensional being, into a third-dimensional space, and tasked the Guardian recovering an asset from Project Graviton, which was later found to be Graviton Spike. After embracing his role as the third Emissary, he would receive visions of his Space Age memories as the Nine reminded him of the link them and Humanity. He was later visited by Saint-14, and exchanged their conversation in Russian.

Personality and Traits

Due to his job as a member of the DEO, Lodi is inherently distrusting of others but learns to trust his companions once they prove they are willing to help. Lodi also can be quickly overwhelmed by new information due to how much is different in the current day compared to where he was dragged from, but is a quick learner and adapts to most paradigms within minutes. Compared to most people in the City Age, Lodi talks very casually and openly, using mannerisms common to people of the pre-Golden age. He also addresses others formerly.

Lodi is extremely adverse to violence and attempts repeatedly to make peace with the House of Exile and the Vex never attacked him due to not perceiving him as a threat. Lodi himself admits he inherently loves to help people in any way he can, which is what made him the only candidate to be able to take up the mantle of The Nine's emissary.

Following his arrival in the future, Lodi would make an effort to remember everything he could of human history before the Collapse from the dinosaurs to his time working with the DEO. He would even make sure to remember the names of his family and other notably people in his life out of fear of forgetting them in a time when he was the only person who would remember any of them.
