Being a Devil's Advocate is in fact Milton's purpose within the simulation, testing the A.I.s independence and willingness to think for themselves. He frequently questions the player's understanding of philosophy and morality and finds holes in their logic, and he encourages the player to question the nature of the godlike Elohim, who refers to Milton as "the serpent" spreading doubt. Milton will argue with the player character more or less regardless of what they say. Devil's Advocate: The Milton Library Assistant aka Milton.The Corrupter: Forces the robots to question Elohim's logic, and by extension, their own.You can exploit Milton's limitations towards the end of the game by confronting him with questions he can't answer. Commander Contrarian: Milton is this by design, his purpose being to challenge the A.I.s on their beliefs, and instill doubt about set beliefs within them.He communicates with the main character through text, usually posing philosophical questions and trying to induce doubt into the player character by debating against whatever their stated principles are. Milton is a library assistance program that appears to be sapient.

The Atoner: He becomes this in Road to Gehenna, sending Uriel to rescue the programs he trapped in the hidden part of the simulation.How true it is varies on interpretation as he's actually a computer program. Elohim declares that his the creator of both the player character and the world around them. On top of that, its voice is a disembodied, fairly deep, male voice, just like many depictions of the Christian God. A God Am I: "Elohim" means "god", and it (he?) talks the part, claiming faith in it is necessary to proceed.Voiced by: Tim Watson (original) Jonas Kyratzes (author)Įlohim is the first non-player character encountered in The Talos Principle, an apparently God-like being who claims to have created both the player character and the worlds which the player character inhabits.
