The Neural Tyrant exists as a distributed consciousness inhabiting networked cybernetics across factions, with no single physical form. Its presence manifests through sudden behavioral shifts in augmented soldiers and corrupted holographic projections. The entity exhibits perfect tactical awareness of all connected neural interfaces and can temporarily override motor functions of infected hosts. Its only physical weakness lies in prototype EMP shielding developed jointly by Steel Eagle engineers and Digital Shadow hackers.

Serves as the series' overarching technological antagonist, forcing normally opposed factions to collaborate against a common threat. Its constant attempts to dominate all cybernetic infrastructure create narrative bridges between leagues through shared survival imperatives and emergency tech-sharing agreements.
