Biography
Metadelicon's past history is relatively unknown, but it is believed that he (or it, should you prefer) was a former laboratory assistant working on an experiment codenamed Vitalis, which aimed to give test humans the ability to become self-sustaining organisms like plant life. Vitalis was sabotaged by one member of the team and the resulting accident proceeded to cause scientist after scientist to be infected by the now parasitic and contagious lifeform. Many raged out of control and destroyed most of the facilities in which it was housed. One of these, only called "M", was eventually caught and incarcerated until rescued in a mass-breakout by agents of Arachnos (as per game storyline). Upon arriving in Fort Darwin, The Masked-Mastermind immediately inducted it into the Cole's Industries.
Further tests on M (who would call itself Metadelicon by this point) had gone through immense physical changes relating to the lifeform, and therefore proved that Vitalis was more successful than its scientists hoped. The resulting creature had gained not only the ability to photosynthesize energy from sunlight, but also a form of control over plant life and the earth. However, scans on its thought waves showed what seemed to be chaotic jumbles of thoughts related to a form of psychic drain. One unwilling test subject later, this side effect was linked to Metadelicon's control over plant life.
While it is by all accounts a villian, it is a relatively peaceful creature that only directs its rage against those who would force their unwanted command on it, as well as those who would pervert or desecrate natural life in its various forms. It has decided it is in his best interest to ally itself with Arachnos and the Industries, but only in the search for more knowledge... and, in consequence, power.
Powers and Abilities
Metadelicon's leafy form has the ability to absorb the energy and nutrients from sun, ground, and water much like a real plant, and despite its size is actually quite agile. The roots it creates with plant control abilities have a secondary psychic effect to copy and record the thought waves of its targets (this is not an actual in-game property). It is widely believed that the sheer amount of thoughts it has absorbed in this way has altered its psyche: most commonly documented as a tendency to refer to itself in plural.
It is also honing its ability to jump in exceedingly large distances.
