Compilers

From Pfhorpedia, the Marathon Wikia, working on 192 articles

The S'pht Compilers are the most common kind of S'pht found in the Marathon Universe. Like the Pfhor, these also come in ranks. The Compiler only has two ranks, the Minor, which wears an orange cloak, and the superior Major Compiler, which wears a purple cloak.

The Compilers attack by shooting a bolt of energy out of the machinery they have hidden under their cloaks. Some Compilers also use a cloaking device which make them harder to spot. While most of the time the Compilers are enemies to you, in some levels they are allies rebelling against the Pfhor.

[edit] Appearance and Physiology

The Compilers wear a long robe like cloak that covers internal machinery. Their heads are somewhat done shaped. In Marathon they have a long cord or tail coming out of the back of their heads, but in Marathon 2: Durandal the tail is gone. Note that Compilers have two small green lines on their heads in Marathon Infinity, possibly from the glow.
