Klustero/Urdatorn - Klustero was once a god, although no one else of the gods wanted to take him seriously. After a failed attempt to take control of all the solar systems with computers, he somehow escaped the other gods. He moved into Urdatorn, a crazy computer and enemy of Herman, and has since then returned every once in a while with new technological plan to take the solar systems again.
