We were created by humans--one that gave Heart the human form of a man he hated, and tortured him for his own pleasure. When our other creator discovered him taking a cattle prod to Heart, he declared he would no longer be part of the project, and left us to our fate. He knew what was happening--he knew that Heart had reached an artificial intelligence level similar to that of a human and he left him to be tortured.
