ALLMIND is the main antagonist of the 2023 mecha-based third-person shooter, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. She is a mercenary support network/liaison and is also possibly the leader of an organization with the same name, designed to assist in providing contracts for different mercenaries on Rubicon 3, as well as providing them the necessary care and upgrades for their ACs.
Unbeknownst to many, however, she intends to trigger the Coral Release and assimilate humanity under her protection, as a means of preserving and help them evolve.
She is voiced by Megumi Han in the Japanese version of the game and Stephanie Kerbis in the English version.
Personality[]
ALLMIND initially appears as a relatively harmless A.I. network that assists in contracting various mercenaries and offering different resources for their AC. As she works with different mercenaries, she gathers various data on their history and combat skills for what initially seems information provided for those as training data.
In the Alea Iacta Est goes more in depth regarding ALLMIND and her motives, revealing that her intentions go beyond her designated task. Having become aware of the Coral and the great potential it possesses, ALLMIND desires to use it as a means of bringing humanity to its next evolution by spreading it across different worlds and assimilating every being under her control, viewing it as protection. She believes that once this is achieved, humanity would no longer need the free will that drives them to their greed and fear over power. With the data she has gathered on every mercenary she has worked with, she plans ahead and manages to manipulate the conflict between the Corporations and Rubicon Liberation Front without ever giving away her true intentions.
ALLMIND is quick in terms of determining who would serve to be beneficial to her goals, while others would threaten it. Due to their connection to the Coral via Ayre, she views C4-621 as a worthy asset to her goals and because of this, she is well aware of Ayre's existence as well. Having taken into account of their combat history, she uses every opportunity she can to have 621 eliminate those that could potentially pose a problem both to them and to her project as well.
She also acknowledges G5 Iguazu as another valuable asset to her goals, due to his connection with the Coral as well. However, she had failed to take into account of his desire to beat 621, which caused her to lose control of her AC, allowing G5 Iguazu to create a setback to her plans.
Biography[]
In the normal New Game, ALLMIND appears to be a minor character who just grants C4-621 access to the garage, part shop, training simulator and Arena.
In New Game +, she starts showing many suspicious signs of her villainous acts, including the LOGHUNT program and the Analysis Area.
Since New Game ++/Alea Iacta Est, ALLMIND starts telling her plan to merge humanity and Coral together via the Coral Release. She also seems to disguise as a mercenary named Kate Markson and pilot the AC TRANSCRIBER/MIND BETA to test 621. After her appearance as Kate, ALLMIND tasks 621 and Ayre to eliminate Sulla, V.III O'Keefe, Father Dolmayan, V.II Snail, and G5 Iguazu. Four of her targets were killed except Iguazu. At some point of the storyline, ALLMIND offers Iguazu to become one with her. After she achieves everything, ALLMIND and Iguazu, now becoming a part of her, pilots the AC MIND GAMMA and her modified SOL: 644 to assassinate 621 and Ayre together, the plan has, however, gone wrong, as Iguazu is able to break free from her control and begins to act on his own. This leads to their death.

Trivia[]
- While not outright stated, it is heavily suggested that Kate Markson is actually a false identity used by ALLMIND as part of her plan to persuade 621 into joining her cause. Her lack of records as a mercenary, the AC she pilots having been designed by ALLMIND, as well as having the same voice actresses in Japanese seem to support this.
- The giant craft that ALLMIND controls in the final battle against her is a heavily modified version of Ayre's IB-07: SOL 644, possessing heavy-armed weaponry and emits a turquoise blue light, instead of the orange red that Ayre had.
- If the player retraces their steps back to the site of their crash in the mission Grid 135 Cleanup, a craft using encoded messages will appear as a secret encounter. While no hidden bonuses or achievements are unlocked, it hints that ALLMIND had been watching 621 since the very beginning.
- Non-AC enemies tagged by ALLMIND's LOGHUNT Program lose their signature orange/red 'eyes' in favor of blue-green ones similar in color to a wide variety of ALLMIND's designs. What this signifies is currently unknown.
- It's actually possible to notice Sulla, Iguazu, and O'Keeffe's involvement with ALLMIND early, as they all use ALLMIND parts in their builds.
- Curiously, while being somewhat associated with the RLF himself, Rokumonsen dons ALLMIND parts. Furthermore, in building their AC frames, O'Keeffe uses a head part, Rokumonsen uses a torso part and left arm weapon, G5 Iguazu uses the arms (as well as the laser orbit back unit in the alternate Coral Convergence mission), and Sulla uses the leg part. In Iguazu's case, he only uses the ALLMIND parts during Chapter 4.
- In the mission briefing for Eliminate V.III, ALLMIND lists four potential candidates for the Coral Release Project, two of which can be identified as Sulla and the player. O'Keeffe is no longer considered a candidate, despite his prior history with ALLMIND. The third is implied to be Iguazu, as he is shown utilizing ALLMIND parts on his AC in chapter 4. It is possible the fourth is Rokumonsen, as his is the only other AC in the traditional arena to feature ALLMIND parts.
- The emblems of ALLMIND and Overseer use the same font.
