The Transcendent behave exactly how humans see a drone: Uniform, organized and lacks any influence of emotions. Their technology is fantastic, baffling Man for the countless times they’ve seen it up close. They do not have a specific name for their weapons, simply referring to them as machines. However, even with most of their technology remaining unknown, it was still proven to be possible to defeat them.
While the Transcendent generally lacks free will, they are shown to be able to think for themselves like in the battlefield where they are able to develop on the spot strategies. Most of their actions still have the preconditioning set for the sake of the greater good.
However, it is not unheard of for the Transcendent to develop their own free will as time passes. It seems to stem from their prolonged interactions with humans. This is seen as a disastrous development back in their world since such train of thought might lead into extremism which might threaten the peace. This is because of a phenomenon of them developing something that can be likened to Man’s concept of a soul. For now, it is unknown what a Transcendent would be like if their “soul” develops into an extent similar to a human.
