Magnetau-XK

Magnetau-XK, also known as Magneta, is a virus that appears in the Vidi series. It takes the role of both the antagonist and secondary protagonist of the majority of the games.

Role
Magnetau-XK is a smoke-based virus that was developed by The Terminal Republic in 1979 (in the game's canon) in order to eliminate overconfident diplomats and public figures. It did so by making the target gradually become more and more powerful in every aspect, before removing these traits once the target was familiar with them, resulting in a disconnection from the real world's logic and physics: this would almost certainly result in death.

Appearance
When the virus is freed and not connected to a host, it takes the form of a purple/magneta gas cloud. Due to the virus being a living organism, it does not follow the conventional laws of gases, such as the wind-based movement.
