Summary
Klaus, also known as The Architect, or Zanza was a scientist working for Aoidos at Rhadamanthus, who after the activation of the Conduit became two god-like beings split between two universes.

History
As a human, his name was Klaus and he worked as a scientist for the organization known as Aoidos in the First Low Orbit Station: Rhadamanthus, where he experimented with the mysterious Conduit, found years prior in Africa.

In the year 20XX, during an attack by the rebel organization known as the Saviorites, he barred the activation of the Artifice Aion, and instead used the Conduit for himself. His denial of access was quickly discovered when the rest of Aoidos tried to activate the Aion in order to fight back at the Saviorites, who were winning in the battle.

Galea attempted to stop him, though he pushed her away and ignored her pleas. Upon activating it, he brought about the end of the world, countless portals to other universes appearing across the planet. He himself was split into two beings: The Architect, which remained in the primary universe; and Zanza, who was torn away and sent to another.

Following this, the two would go on to exist as separate beings in separate universes.

Zanza
Zanza is the name taken up by his half that was sent to a new universe, where he came to be the soul of the Bionis, and came into eternal conflict with the Mechonis, who held Meyneth, reincarnation of his co-worked Galea, who worked with him at Rhadamanthus before the creation event.

He, as Bionis, was locked in conflict with the Mechonis, and at some point in time managed to cut off its left arm. Which fell down to the sea below and was settled by myriad Machina in the Hidden Machina Village.

He created the High Entia out of Telethia, to purge any creatures that could threaten the awakening of the Bionis.

At some point in the far past, he possessed the giant Arglas, and was confined by the High Entia on Prison Island, which he himself allowed. Over the years following, he rested and regained his power. His soul, the Monado, was takes and hidden within Ose Tower within Valak Mountain.

Fourteen years before the events of the game, a group of Homs from Colony 9 came across the tower and the blade within. He absorbed their lifeforce, and possessed a young Shulk. Following this, the blade was taken back to Colony 9.

He is uncovered and talked to by Shulk and his group during a Mechon attack on Alcamoth. He spoke to them of the nature of the Monado and his nature as the progenitor of mankind. Before awakening the power of the Monado by lifting its inability to hurt Homs or High Entia, so long as he is allowed to be released from his shackles, to which he agreed.

His body was destroyed by Metal Face with an ether-destroying lance, killing the body and leaving his consciousness to still roam free.

He is fully killed by Shulk.

The Architect
As the Architect, he tried to recreate the world, thus he created countless microscopic particles which could restore matter. This is what came to be what is in modern days known as the Cloud Sea.

Following this, he used Core Crystals, which contained biological information, to recreate life. These over time formed into the Titans, which both provided land for life to exist upon, and were able to themselves birth new life. Though, not trusting that mankind in this world would grow to be any different than the world that came before, created the Blades in order to supervise mankind and make it so they did not repeat the same mistakes.

Five-hundred years before the events of the story, Amalthus climbed the World Tree to the First Low Orbit Station, and stole the Cores Logos and Pnumea from the Trinity Processer. These would become the Aegises, Malos and Mythra. While The Architect could have stopped him, he, having no hope left for humanity, decided not to intervene.

Upon the death of Zanza in the other universe, he too began to fade, and eventually faded completely.

Zanza
Zanza is the more violent and arrogant part of Klaus, with an extreme god complex, and often resorting to or encouraging violence.
