The Tinpot Dictator was sent by the Orgodemir to Faraday with an army of Automatons to conquer and eradicate the populace. Before the party arrives, his army is overwhelming the Faradain army to the point where the king must hire mercenaries to stave off the invasion. Because of the Tinpot Dictator's invasion, the country is demoralized.

However the tide turns for the Faradains when the party obtain an Automaton of their own. Autonymus is able to reprogram this Automaton. Now named E.L.L.I.E., the robot can broadcast a signal to disrupt the orders given to them by the Tinpot Dictator. This allows the party to enter the automatons' Base.

The party meets the Tinpot Dictator who orders a group of Automatons to attack them. However, the signal broadcast from E.L.L.I.E. disrupts the command given to them by the Tinpot Dictator and, in turn, causes them to go berserk and attack themselves. Frustrated by this failure, the Tinpot Dictator is forced to kill the party themselves. The party defeats the Tinpot Dictator who, with his last breath, summons the Slaughtomaton to kill them and the entire continent.
