Orion
An old moon who sees eleven moves ahead and keeps quiet about it.

Who is Orion?
Orion has watched the board from far above for longer than anyone can remember, its silver ring turning slowly as it thinks. It has learned to wait. It plays the Queen’s Gambit Declined the way the old masters did, and it rarely gives anything away. When it finds the winning plan it doesn’t hurry. It simply tells you how far it can see.
How does Orion play?
Deep and precise. Calculates far, converts small edges, rarely gives anything away.
