― Al-An after his new body is crafted

Al-An, also referred to as Alan, is a member of the The Architects who is present as a character in Subnautica: Below Zero.

When Kharaa broke out, Al-An's mind was stored away, while his architect body was destroyed. Al-An appears to be unique in that his mind has remained conscious unlike other stored minds which are in a dormant state.

Story

Al-An, like the rest of his species, had their consciousness uploaded to a Data Hub. Their physical body was likely disposed of afterwards, although for an unexplained reason, Al-An's mind remained intact, capable of thought and speech, unlike the other Architects encountered in The Crater.

Following the transfer, Robin will have to find and scan parts of Al-An's Vessel throughout the story, including a head, arms, legs, and power source, which can be found at the various Architect Caches laying around Sector Zero. The end goal of this will be to fabricate them a new body at the Fabricator Base. The reason for doing so is currently unknown, however, upon the completion of their new body, Al-An will act as an NPC.

Trivia

• The name "Al-An" or "Alan" is likely a play on the word "alien".
  • The name “Al-An” was a combination of Alterra’s assigned name for his species which was “Almanac” and what Al-An refers to as his “seed code” which is “An”. However the name Almanac has been changed to Architects so the future meaning of this name is currently unknown.
• It was previously stated by story writer Tom Jubert that the Architects would not be seen. Ironically, it would be Jubert who later unwittingly revealed the existence of Al-An on the developers’ public Trello board.
