Eden (fal'Cie)

Eden (エデン) is a fal'Cie from Final Fantasy XIII.

Datalog
''The namesake of Cocoon's capital, this fal'Cie directs the others of its kind who support the world's day-to-day existence. While Cocoon's other fal'Cie do not communicate with humans, Eden does. Presiding over the Sanctum's otherwise human administration, the fal'Cie is known to issue orders to the Primarch and step in to correct political gaffes on occasion.''

As the sole operational nexus linking untold numbers of fal'Cie, it is not unthinkable that the loss of Eden could spell the end of Cocoon itself.

Profile
Eden is responsible for the administration and security of Cocoon, running the countless complex operations that keep the floating continent running, working as the nexus that connects the other fal'Cie and directs their power in sustaining Cocoon. As this requires untold amounts of energy, Eden siphons power from the sleeping fal'Cie Orphan located in a dimension Eden has created inside itself, called Orphan's Cradle.

Eden presides within Cocoon's capital Eden, named after the fal'Cie. Eden is known as the only fal'Cie to speak directly to humans, and its opinions and decisions are counted upon by the Sanctum officials.

Story
Eden is a trinity fal'Cie that presides within the capital of Cocoon within a tower known as Edenhall. When Lightning and the other l'Cie infiltrate Edenhall, they find representations of Eden within Orphan's Cradle. Each one directs the party to a boss battle before they are able to reach Orphan. Eden, along with the other Cocoon fal'Cie, shutdown following Orphan's death and remained in that state as one of her cores was removed by the Academy to create the Proto fal'Cie Adam in one possible future in Final Fantasy XIII-2
