Peerless is a machine creature that exists in multiple construct bodies, sometimes taking over other machines to duplicate more versions of itself, erasing any personality or goals that may have previous existed. All it cares about is spreading itself as far and wide as possible. It is Peerless.   Fearless Narcissist. Those have encountered instances of Peerless describe the construct as bloodthirsty, single-minded, and a bit unstable; each individual construct claims that it is Peerless, the source mind from which all others are made. Even newly converted machines and constructs say the same. This begs the question of where the originating intelligence of Peerless actually resides—maybe in a hidden ruin, as a consciousness in some nearby but unseen dimension, or as a mind distributed across every connected construct.   Prejudiced Against Flesh. An individual Peerless construct ignores biological creatures if there are constructs or machines to be interacted with. However, if there is no choice but to interact with a living creature, Peerless may establish verbal communication. In such cases, it comes across as over-the-top pompous and self-important, always refering to itself as Peerless. Although Peerless isn’t worried about risking any particular instance of itself in combat, it will forgo conflict in return for information about the location of other machines, especially mloxan. However, if a PC happens to be part machine, all bets are off, because Peerless will be keen to convert them. (Purely biological creatures may face the same issue, though only if Peerless is feeling experimental.)   Any given instance of Peerless has about a 5 percent chance to have a relic called a binding integrator.   

BINDING INTEGRATOR Relic, very rare This metallic gauntlet-like device (with two extra fingers) must be worn to be activated. The wearer targets a construct that is standing on a solid surface within 60 feet. That construct must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be rooted to the spot for ten hours or until attacked. It cannot move or take any actions other than speak (if it has a language). A binding integrator has a depletion of 1 in 1d4.
