Logos (Japanese: ロゴス, Rogosu) was one of three units of the Trinity Processor in the Xenoblade Chronicles series.
Story
The Experiment
- Main articles: Trinity Processor and Malos
Logos, alongside Ontos and Pneuma, were originally the three cores making up the Trinity Processor. After Klaus activated the Conduit and after the creation of the world of Alrest in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Logos and Pneuma were modified by the Architect to process data received from the Blade system. Logos's Core Crystal was stored within Elysium along with Pneuma's. Amalthus, with a strong hatred for the world, one day climbed the World Tree in hopes of meeting the Architect and seeking answers. When he arrived at Elysium, he found it empty. As proof of his deed, he took the cores of Pneuma and Logos back to Alrest. Upon arriving in Indol, he awoke Logos, who became known as Malos. Tainted by Amalthus's hatred of the world, Malos, adopting the title of "the Aegis", set out to destroy Alrest until he was destroyed by Rex and the newly awakened Pneuma.
The Sword of the End
- Main article: Lucky Seven
When the worlds of Alrest and the Bionis began to merge back into the original in Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed, Nia and Melia formed a plan to save the peoples and cultures of the worlds from destruction, constructing an ark known as Origin, which would contain all of their societies' knowledge and their citizens' literal souls, allowing them to be reborn after their worlds were reconstructed and then separated back into their original states. However, when the time came for Origin to activate, it failed to do so and instead, due to being seized by Z, caused both worlds to be frozen in time, creating a third one, Aionios, in between. At some point, Logos ended up within the Sword of the End that Z gives to Consul N. During the final fight against Alpha, N lends Matthew Logos's power from within the Sword of the End, allowing Matthew to unleash Pneuma's power from his Ouroboros Knuckles, which is revealed to contain both Pyra's and Mythra's souls, and its power allows Matthew and his friends to complete the full Ouroboros transformation and vanquish Alpha.
Etymology
Logos comes from the Greek word λόγος, meaning "speech" and "reason."
Trivia
- Logos is the only Trinity Processor core to not have multiple incarnations.
- Each of the three biocomputers represents a part of the Holy Trinity. In Christology, Logos is a name or title of Jesus Christ, the Son. Ousia, in gnosticism, refers to the essence of God, the Father. Similarly, Ontos (or "ontology") can be related to the existence of God. Pneuma, in a religious context, is often understood to be the Holy Spirit.
- Additionally, each processor has its own bible verse from the Book of Proverbs inscribed on them in Latin, right below their names in Greek. They are 3:13 for Ontos, 10:12 for Logos and 4:18 for Pneuma, which is also written on her chest.[1]
