The Humanoid Figure was a mysterious individual who acted as the benefactor of the Cabal in his role as a representative for a faction in the Temporal Cold War. Unable to physically travel through time, he could only partially materialize to deliver information from the 28th century. As payment for their services, he provided the Cabal with the technical expertise to perform genetic enhancements on themselves, including enhanced senses, as well as the abilities of shapeshifting and surviving in extreme environments. He also gave them advanced technology such as biomimetic garments and cloaking devices.
