Her creator was named Andrew Richter.  He was a tinker with no codename, but he did good things.

Well, that sounds good.

From his apartment in a town called Deer Lake he’d created programs and set them loose.

Is that a real town?

Also, sounds like he’s not explicitly working with the PRT, then, just… letting the AIs loose, with precautions taken to ensure they don’t cause a robopocalypse. I guess no more than one or two people in the PRT, one of them possibly being Legend, ever found out Dragon was one.

His programs gathered information and disrupted computers to interfere with criminals of all types.  They helped with research and complex programs.  They emptied the bank accounts of criminal organizations and donated those funds to charities, through proxies that made every donation appear legitimate.

Huh, neat.

For this, she respected him.

She knew it was paranoid and peevish, but she resented him more because she respected him, because she knew she had probably been programmed and designed to be the type of individual who looked up to people like Andrew Richter.

Hm, yeah, that might be the case. Another thing that makes sense – you’d want your creations to share your values, and you’d want them to not turn on you.
