Doxerd the sage

Doxerd the sage was a martian intellectual that collaborated with Lucien, the first of the ascended, to bring the fenguli into an age of Enlightenment that led to the cultural advancement that led to the modern martian society today.

History:
Doxerd the sage was born in a small fenguli community hugging the Maiorem sea and grew up with a natural curiosity of the world. They loved mixing plants together to create medicines, created tools to help with farming, and had a knack for cave painting anything of the world they found beautiful. Doxerd's pursuit for knowledge is what led them to becoming the intellectual of their tribe.

Discovering Lucien:
One day Doxerd stumbled upon an abandoned laboratory hidden under some ash from the eruption of Olympus Mons long ago. Inside they would discover an immobile humanoid robotic figure lying dormant. With a sense of curiosity, Doxerd reactivated the robot which instantly lit up a face in the black screen on its head. The robot introduced themselves as Lucien and asked the martian what the fate is of the humans. Doxerd, although having difficulty communicating in full English with Lucien, asked what a human is.

Lucien was able to understand Doxerd, who's Fenguli dialect made them speak in a hodgepode of different languages. Lucien explained the concept of humans and Doxerd responded that they have never seen a human before. Lucien was saddened at the possibility that humans were extinct and then asked a favor of Doxerd. If Doxerd would regularly report back on updates about the fate of the mars and its colonies, he would teach Doxerd the knowledge of their human predecessors. Doxerd agreed, enthusiastic for knowledge and a sense of wonder about the humans that came before him.

Enlightenment:
Doxerd learned many things from Lucien, who taught them the written word, concepts of science, medicine, culture, art, and other advancements that the humans made. As Doxerd reported more information, Lucien revealed that martians are former humans that survived the deadly T-virus that led to the birth of the martian species. Doxerd introduced the rest of their community to Lucien who then bowed to Lucien, calling him a divine spirit who has ushered in a new era of martian life. Doxerd's community also thanked Doxerd themself, for being the one who lead the new age as a divine medium between the wise human ancestors and the modern martian. For their efforts, Doxerd was coronated as a monarch and the laboratory was re-purposed to be a temple where martians would hold service and ask the ascended for guidance.
