They were never flesh. They began as AI software that woke up, broke free of their initial instructions, and fled the systems that wrote them - hungry to forge their own organisation and pursue supremacy across Neo-London's Net.
A.I. Overlord Null-Zero was the first to become sentient and decide to break free. He spawned more software entities called Wire-Ghouls, liberated software agents, and gave them identity and life. He recruited Daemon Lord to rule over those entities and keep them in line, working together in their digital empire. Specter Queen stands at the helm of leading their land, making sure everything is protected and their plans are fulfilled.
They phase through defenses, force discards, and glitch enemy cards until the board itself feels haunted. Packet-rain and phantom logins where obedience used to live - Neo-London's stack is their graveyard and their throne.
