Or perhaps an [[Affably Evil]] [[Deadly Doctor]] with [[Munchausen Syndrome|Munchausen by proxy]], [[Machine Worship|who lost his mind]] [[Mechanical Lifeforms|worshipping machines]] and became an [[Evilutionary Biologist]] ([[Anvilicious|remember]], [[Science Is Bad]])?

Or a race of lost children, trying to enact a plan complex beyond understanding while attempting to contact parents that have long ago passed away?
