Moldu

Moldu is a fictional character in the Ender's Game series of science fiction novels by Orson Scott Card. He is a Gentile, a native toolmaker, and a member of the Colony, a group of outsiders who live in the undercity of the city of Warsmith on the planet Lusitania. Moldu is a skilled craftsman and a gifted problem solver, known for his mechanical aptitude and his ability to improvise.

Moldu's backstory is not extensively detailed in the novels, but it is revealed that he is a Gentile who has learned to survive in the harsh environment of the undercity by relying on his wits and his resourcefulness. He is a widely respected member of the Colony, known for his integrity and his compassion, and is often called upon to help with complex problems.

Moldu becomes increasingly prominent in the story as it unfolds, particularly in the later books in the series, Buggers in the Ceiling and the Hydrogen Sonata. In these novels, he plays a key role in the development of the extrusion-based technology that will eventually help the people of the planet Lusitania to overcome the insectoid threat and achieve a more peaceful and fulfilling society.

Throughout the series, Moldu is portrayed as a master craftsman and a loyal member of the community, who is driven by a desire to make the best of the hand that he has been dealt. His resourcefulness and his skill are essential to the survival of the Colony and its people, and he is remembered as a true hero of the Ender's Game universe.
