Profile
Samatha is a Revered Monk of Claretwheel Temple. As one of the petitioning borisin monks, she participated in the Luminary Wardance Ceremony aboard the Xianzhou Luofu to implore the Xianzhou Alliance for protection of the temple's 10,000 monks and 13,000 civilian children.
History
One day, Samatha, Revered Master Dhyana and Dharmic Monk Virya discovered the remnants of a war machine left behind during the Emperor's War, who was known as Elite Soldier 0089 of the Machine Empire. 0089 woke up and ran the Anti-Organic Equation to attack the monks, but the monks managed to stop him. 0089 could not understand why the monks did not destroy him, and the monks claimed that they found an even greater power beyond slaughter. In order to obtain this "power," 0089 decided to join the monks' journey to the Xianzhou Luofu while learning more about Claretwheel Temple.[1]
51 System Days before the start of the Wardance, the monks were attacked by stray borisin in Destroyed Star Cluster. Virya was fatally wounded when fighting off the stray wolves and died peacefully after the wolves ran away. When 0089 questioned the temple's commandment of "Do not kill," Dhyana explained that after she took in Samatha, she realized that she could not bury the seeds of fear and hatred in the earth of tomorrow and let Samatha become yet another chained cog in the cycle of war and bloodshed.[1]
Later, the monks were attacked by a bounty hunter who hunted down the remaining offspring of the Anti-Organic Equation, and Dhyana was killed by the hunter after pushing away 0089. Samatha stopped 0089 from vengeance and let the hunter go. From then on, no bounty hunters appeared again. 0089 requested to be ordained to further his study, and Samatha performed the ordination and bestowed upon him the ordained name of "Sugata."[1]
3 System Days before the start of the Wardance, Samatha and Sugata were attacked by a group of the Annihilation Gang in Spaceship's Restricted Zone. Samatha wanted to sacrifice herself to create an opportunity for Sugata to escape, but he declined to execute her specific command. He drew the conclusion that everyone has the right to make their own choices, and then ran the Anti-Organic Equation, resulting in 102 deaths. He considered himself no longer a disciple of Claratwheel Temple, but a lowly sinner. However, he still wanted to complete their petition.[1]
After Samatha participated in the Wardance, she sent a special challenge to Luka. When they entered the stage aboard the Skysplitter, she revealed her true identity as a borisin. Before she could tell her petition, the match was halted by the Cloud Knights. Sugata ran the Anti-Organic Equation to protect her, causing the aurumaton on site out of control. The monks were suppressed and sent to The Shackling Prison for investigation, facing the interrogation of the Ten-Lords Commission and Yukong.[1]
Yukong questioned the 102 unidentified corpses carried by the spaceship. Sugata synchronized his data with all interrogators and admitted that he was the one who annihilated the 102 individuals. He hoped to give Samatha a chance to compete once again in the Wardance, to let all witness that Claretwheel Temple's borisin also possess similarly admirable qualities as the rest of humanity. He asked that if the Xianzhou agrees to admit Claretwheel Temple and provide an environment that allows the borisin to change themselves, would they still walk into the cycle of war and bloodshed. Yukong was unable to give an answer to his question. To demonstrate his resolve to achieve Samatha's wishes, he blew his own circuits and fell silent, freeing all mechanical creations in the prison from the control of the Anti-Organic Equation's curse.[1]
Yukong arranged Samatha's rematch with Luka in the Skysplitter's lower-floor arena but with no spectators. The duel was halted in the middle by Yukong, but she would let General Jing Yuan have a conversation with Samatha and try her best to give a full account and support the Claretwheel Temple during the Six Charioteers's meeting. Samatha then gathered and buried Sugata's remains aboard the Luofu.[1]
According to Opinion About the Claretwheel Temple Issue, the Xianzhou Luofu has eventually established official diplomatic relations with Claretwheel Temple following Samatha's petition. However, Huifu, head of the Luofu's Realm-Keeping Commission, reiterated their stance to the other Commissions and the Ten-Lords Commission that the Luofu should avoid any further cooperation with Claretwheel Temple and abandon any naive notion of allying with them.[2]
