Jeff

Jeff is the "god" of the Mowlings and an alien presence on their world, who the Mowlings accept as an alien. Jeff is represented by a strange hovering avatar and possesses an extremely powerful with advanced technology that makes short work of any ship attacking the Mowlings. He resembles a sort of floating plane on its tail, with a hovering crown/halo around the tip. Jeff is essentially a probe, developed by an extremely advanced species to prepare the way for them.

Jeff was passing through the system when he intercepted the meteor about to hit the Mowlings homeworld. Horrified at how accident prone the Mowlings are, he started helping here and there and in time, became the Mowling’s god. Jeff finds his godhood as a form of burden. Jeff is seeking to get away from the Mowlings for reasons he doesn’t elaborate on, only saying it is dangerous for him to stay for so long. Jeff has quite the extensive knowledge of the galaxy, even knowing of humans, in spite of their relative newness to the galactic scene. Jeff is capable of hacking directly into ships systems and using that as a way to gain knowledge, as he is often several hundred millennia advanced than other species. Jeff wants to hand off the Mowlings to the humans, but the Mowlings are prone to getting themselves killed.

He gathered resources, terraformed entire planets and created copies of himself to prepare for his creator’s colonisation efforts. Jeff’s makers were killed, seemingly by whatever it is killing other species and whatever the Lexites are afraid of. When he had completed his purpose, Jeff was at a loss, deciding to explore the galaxy, helping races here and there or spending millennia asleep. Jeff isn’t the only one of his model, but there are an increasingly dwindling number of them, with millennia passing between sightings.

Jeff’s design is a variant of his creator’s anatomy, with some additions he made for fun. He projects this form, made of light, for the benefit of organics to converse with. Jeff’s actual form transcends dimensions, existing in the first seven, skipping a couple and then residing in the final four. He apparently skips two dimensions, as they “make him look fat”. Jeffs name is the closest translation in English, with his full name being Jefftopher. Jeff met the Precursors before their disappearance. Jeff’s time with the Mowlings has tested his near infinite patience and he wishes to move on.
