Role-Playing Notes:
Nimrod is the epitome of Sentinel evolution. As such, he sees mutants and most superhumans as criminal renegades to be hunted down and probably killed. His time trip has caused him to reconsider his goals and methods. He is still considering his options, hence he has not yet begun an open war on mutants and superhumans. He obeys his command to protect normal humans and will break off attacks if such harm would result from his actions.
History:
In the early 21st Century of an alternate reality, Sentinel robots have effectively taken control of the United States in order to carry out their mission of eliminating the alleged menace posed to ordinary humanity by superhuman mutants. The Sentinels succeeded in either killing all known superhumans, whether mutants or not, or imprisoning them within concentration camps.
In this alternate reality, the last known survivors of the team ol superhuman mutants known as the X-Men were the adult Katherine Pryde, known as Ariel (her counter part in this reality is known as Shadowcat), and the adolescent Rachel Summers. Pryde and Summers illegally entered a top secret “cyberrobotics” complex in order to deal with Project Nimrod, the effort to construct the ultimate, most highly advanced Sentinel robot possible using the technology of that time; they were discovered and pursued by guards, but they locked themselves within the laboratory. However, the lab was shielded against the use of Pryde’s power to phase through solid matter, and hence Summers believed that both she and Pryde were trapped. However, Pryde had given Summers a post-hypnotic command to use her psionic powers to project herself into the past when Pryde said the words “Dark Phoenix.” Pryde did so, and Summers was hurled into a time when Sentinels did not rule America, and when Pryde thought Summers would be safe. But Summers did not journey to the past of her own reality, but to the past of our reality, where she became a member of the present-day X-Men, and eventually took the name Phoenix. The end result of Project Nimrod, the highly advanced Sentinel named Nimrod, killed Pryde after Summers’ departure through time.
Nimrod attempted to follow Summers and was transported to a moment in time shortly before a fish monger was mugged in Lower Manhattan. Nimrod, programmed to protect humans who were not criminals, killed the mugger and saved the worker’s life. He was taken in by this worker, and eventually took on human form in order to blend in with his surroundings. He decided that mutants who were classified as outlaws by the government should indeed be exterminated, and fought the Juggernaut and the X-Men, but was defeated by Rogue. More recently, he battled the X-Men and the Lords Cardinal of the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club, and was again defeated. He learns from these defeats, however, and reconstructs himself after each battle in order to become more formidable. Presumably he is at present continuing his career as a vigilante crimefighter in New York City.
