Sophon

Character from deaths-end by Liu Cixin

The Trisolarans' android voice on Earth — a slim Japanese-styled woman in a tea-house kimono whose smile becomes a soldier's sneer the second the Swordholder's hand falters.

Also known as: 智子, Tomoko, Zhi Zi

What They Know

• She is a humanoid robot piloted at faster-than-light speeds by quantum-entangled sophons (proton-sized supercomputers) on Trisolaris
• She personally chose Cheng Xin as the safe Swordholder candidate, knowing Wade and the others would have fired
• She directs the destruction of all gravitational-wave antennae and the relocation of humanity to Australia in the days after deterrence collapses
• She informs world leaders, calmly, that the Trisolaran reservation has no agriculture and that the population will reduce itself to roughly 200 million through cannibalism
• After Trisolaris is destroyed by a photoid she immolates her body and her proton flees to find Cheng Xin in the pocket universe
• She honors Yun Tianming's standing wishes regarding Cheng Xin, even as the rest of her programming runs on contempt
