Bigelow

5994 Bigelow [5994 ビガロ] is one of the protagonists of Seiji Tanaka's 1988 Ultima-inspired  manga,  Ultima: The Terror of Exodus.

Description
An strange sight in the medieval lands of Sosaria, Bigelow is a sentient machine whose origin and creators remain unknown throughout the comic. Alien even to the Earth-born Genji, Bigelow displays a number of high-technology powers throughout the adventure - including missile launchers, explosive sonic beams, communications amplifiers, shield generation, environment sensors and lasers. In spite of his synthetic form, Bigelow curiously proves to be the most philosophical of the four heroes - making meditative observations about the spiritual reality of the Sosarian world.

After Lennon summons the crimson serpent through his use of the Silver Horn, Bigelow is dramatically caught in the jaws of the beast, allowing the others to escape. As a last resort, Bigelow activates his "seal" in an explosion which rends the Dragon Mark from his chest, killing the serpent and allowing him to escape its clutches.

At the end of the manga, when the world of Sosaria is renewed following its own destruction, Bigelow is reborn in the paradisaical new realm as a human male, fulfilling the visions imparted to him by the prophet Nagaraja.
