Pathfinder is the picture of optimism, despite his circumstances. A MRVN (Mobile Robotic Versatile Entity) modified to specialize in location scouting and surveying, he booted up decades ago in an abandoned laboratory with no idea who created him or why. With only his MRVN designation to hint at his identity, Pathfinder set off in search of his creator.
Unfortunately, by the time Pathfinder found who his creators were, it was too late, as they were all, except for Ashleigh Reid (who was turned into a simulacrum after killing his other creators), dead for a very long time. These creators included: Aleki Gibraltar, Newton Somers, Amelia Paquette, Conan Shelley, Anastasia Oliveira, Milly Delgado, and Armen Fletcher.

Pathfinder is openly described as "MRVN 2.0" and was easy to implement personality-wise. A developer joked that Pathfinder is described as "just a robot looking for purpose...by participating in a bloodsport." ("It seems that MRVNs do have a breaking point.")
The running gag from Titanfall 2 where the MRVN from Marvin's Finest Hour never received a high-five carried over into Apex Legends ("We HAVE to make a MRVN, and he HAS to get a high-five." "By force." "By force!"), to the point where one of the very first animations ever made was Pathfinder defeating an enemy with his grapple leading into a forced high-five. In fact, it was that animation that is commonly cited as the genesis of executions/finishers in Apex.
