EXE, also known by his nickname Faker, is a decrepit, discarded creation of 2011X — later refined into his future self, Lord X. EXE/Faker seeks to grow stronger by harvesting innocent souls, using their power to further his own evolution and ambitions. EXE/Faker hates Lord X, swearing to one day have the power to take revenge and put an end to him. He presents himself as a twisted imitation of Sonic, hiding a monstrous true form beneath a deceptively familiar appearance.
