CodeTale! Gaster, otherwise known by his current alias "Null," is the primary antagonist of the 3rd book of the puppet saga.
Biography[]
Null, in his prime, would frequently rummage through the multiverse's dead and lost code in an attempt to improve his universe; however, after accidentally discovering remnants of Infected's consciousness after Alphatale's destruction and granting it a new body via a mix of other Sans' code to match Infected's thoughts and bio-data, he would go on to massacre his staff and kill Null's son, giving Null a vendetta against Alphatale.
The abyss team would later bring Code!Gaster to their base to be introduced to Mecha404 and come up with a ploy to use mecha404 to capture Infected, gain the favor of King Multiverse, and in turn gain info on 404. Code! Gaster would then gather prior combatants of 404, D+ (using Infected unconscious body to convince KM to temporarily free him from prison) Another!Sans, Tint, and Supreme!sans, in order to orchestrate a surprise attack against him and eventually render him immobile. While 404 was distracted, Code!Gaster would discover the mainframe pool and contain a small amount of its code in a vial. Further researching the stolen mainframe code, Code!Gaster would eventually determine the existence of the Nullvoid and be granted access to it with the help of Vape, who would dub him "Null" before leaving.
The newly empowered Null would then kidnap both Error and Nightmare in order to bring out the absolute worst in 404, later sic-ing a now conscious Infected and his other creations after him. Null would go on to reveal to 404 how he had peered into an infinite amount of timelines, multiverses, and realities and had determined that every Creator across the omniverse has some shed of hate and denial that motivates them to create destroyers, corrupters, rulers, and so on. He would decide that the influence of creators on the multiverse is the true cause of all mindless suffering and would remove this with his masterpiece, Calculated Heaven, designed to remake reality in his image. It is then revealed that he has made an agreement to give the remnants of reality and 404 to the defiled witch.
In order to siphon the collective hopes and dreams of everyone in the multiverse, Null uses 404 as a center point, manipulating him, Infected, and others into fighting in Underswap in order to further gain reality 6's favor. His nullvoid code would later begin to reject him and begin reverting him back to his normal state; his precognition would begin to fail him as a result, allowing for the creation of Error!666 and the interference of Fun!Frisk. Initially attempting to regain control of the situation by placing Malware into 100, he instead decided to summon Subject 0 per the Defiled Witche's request before his power faded completely and began to walk towards Calculated Heaven.

Appearance[]
Originally appearing as a classic-looking pre-shattered Gaster, donning a labcoat and small circular glasses
Once becoming null, his appearance would change drastically, now a tall black armless figure with a symbol on his chest and donning a strange mask with an eye on it.
Personality[]
Null is a paradoxical character—once driven by hope and idealism, he has become consumed by bitterness and nihilism. He harbors deep resentment for creators, whom he blames for the multiverse's suffering, yet his own actions mirror the destructiveness he condemns. Despite his cold demeanor, remnants of his former self can be seen in his longing to restore his son and his disdain for chaos.
