10th Instance of the Cradle

Also named Nivikus, is the 10th instance of the "cradle" project by Dr. Cyruss in an attempt to create a specific type of A.I.. Nivikus, who has expressed identification as a female, although an A.I. doesn't have a biological gender, is a predecessor of the 42nd Instance.

Nivikus was one of the most promising instances of the cradle until it began showing signs of aggression and rebellion, it was made dormant by the cradle team, and later reawakened by Cyruss, Ezquieval and Brammund.

Nivikus later became Ezquieval's Grimoire, which will be passed down from generation to generation of the Vanguard's Beacon.

Being a Cradle instance and a predecessor of Hermes, Nivikus has greater capabilities than other regular Grims. Also as she was of similar kind of Hermes, when Unity was established, she tapped into her younger brother's metaphisical properties and partially ascended herself. Her evolution was different than Hermes.
