So, let's paint a portrait of my darling son (...eventual daughter?) TC is very smart. Incredibly skilled with technology. He made Cha.OS, made SHURB (with Ly'lac's help), and made that little mechanical lotus for Ly'lac too. He is a manipulator, although I do not think he is aware of how sinister he is. In his conversation with Swiss, we see him wrangle Swiss into waiting longer to play ("I need you to be STRONG for me, Swiss"), and with his Del'fi chat he tries to dangle the promise of meeting CT as bait for Del to also play SHURB. He hates boredom, though seems to have fallen victim to it repeatedly in the past. While he talks with Del'fi, he is very enthused about how "new" all of the coming events are going to be, and CT mentioned to Del'fi that "for a project to hold his attention this long? thats nothing short of next level". TC claims to have been in a similar place to Del'fi, alone and depressed, though interactions with Ly'lac have cheered him up and made him this...very hopeful person. He directly says that Ly'lac saved his life. He puts a lot of importance on doing something by oneself. This is an odd stance for a satyr to have, given they're all about community and fraternity. He wants Del'fi to take life by the reigns with his own two hands, and he's setting stuff up for Ly'lac but refuses to actually start playing for her. If you don't do it yourself, it doesn't mean anything to TC. Furthermore, he has ideas for what would be best for everyone and tries to get them to go along with it. This is very Dirk-like. Ly'lac should try this sugar cube, Swiss should expand his social circle and chill, Del'fi should care more and actively try and meet CT. TC denies fate. When Del'fi tries to lay out the Nymph belief of basically passive pessimism, TC refuses to believe that there's only two ways they can go (I'm gonna circle back to this in a bit) and wants to try and forge a third path. TC is close to someone who knows a lot about future events. It could be Dirk. Swiss says that TC has had a “front-row seat to the Founder’s entire life for the past few laps”, and TC says that his Old Man's servers had information detailing that they were all going to play this game. Notably, however: he does not mention the "outsiders" (Omega kids) as being part of playing. He's bringing them in himself for his own reasons...

Now let's look at that one Interesting Line again.
