Actor

Soren the Architect, often referred to simply as Soren, is the elusive leader of the Order of the Stone and is renowned for his skills as a legendary architect. Unlike the other members of the Order who remained in the public eye, Soren went missing prior to the events of the game. Jesse and their friends are later tasked with finding and recruiting him.

Appearance

He is a pale man with ginger hair with a moustache and beard, who wears sandy colored armor with black accents. He has fingerless, grey gloves and brown pants. Prior to The Last Place You Look, he wore a grey hardhat and tan goggles.

Personality

Soren appeared to be an eccentric, impulsive, and a complete genius in his first few appearances. He is not good at socializing and seems to not care about lying. He was not above putting himself in danger to conduct his research in endermen, risking his life to study them, and spoke of a desire to be anything other than Soren the Architect, like a donkey for example. He is the discoverer of the command block, and he grew to be dependent on it after realizing what it could do, becoming a coward in the process.

During his time in the End, Soren grew a fascination for endermen, studying them and even attempting to train some on how to build. Furthermore, he prefers endermen more than anyone because unlike people, endermen always do what he expects without a single thought of betrayal, almost to a fault. In "A Block and a Hard Place", it is revealed that Soren even worries for the safety of endermen when he sees a few of them approaching the wither storm, fearing that they will get themselves killed.

Magnus

While Soren seems reluctant to reconnect with the others, it is evident that he still holds concern for his former allies, including Magnus. After Magnus is injured by the wither storm, Soren quickly moves to help, trying to reassure him and downplaying the seriousness of the situation. When Magnus later passes away, Soren takes it hard, brushing off any mention of him with visible frustration.

Ellegaard

Although Soren may not be eager to reunite with his old friends, it is clear that he still cares about them, including Ellegaard. This is evident when she is struck by the wither storm. Soren immediately rushes to her aid, offering words of comfort and insisting she will be fine, even scolding her when she acknowledges what is really happening. Her death leaves an impact on him, as shown by how he quickly and angrily deflects any mention of her afterward.

Quotes

Some stories are better left forgotten.

Soren to Petra, hinting his secret.

I wasn't expecting so many houseguests! There's no way I have enough seashell soaps for all of them.

Soren.


Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies.

Soren to Jesse.


You look... terrible.

Soren to Petra/Gabriel.


You seem like a person who appreciates cool stuff that's cool for no reason.

Soren to Jesse.


Stuff and nonsense, stuff and nonsense.

Soren to Magnus/Ellegaard.


Yes... yes, that's it! They'll be caught between a rock in a hard place!

Soren, talking about the plan to lure the wither storm with the amulet. (Determinant)


Tinkering with the Far Lands is nothing to laugh about!

Soren to Petra.


It's as though Ivor learned nothing from my lectures on organizational methodology!

Soren to Jesse in Ivor's Lab.


If you'd only been there... It was a fight for the ages! We'd spent weeks preparing for our greatest battle ever. But even so, the Ender Dragon was stronger than even I had imagined. I realized it was drawing strength from the Ender Crystals -- and that the crystals had to be destroyed. I hit the first with a perfectly placed arrow. The second, I destroyed by launching myself on the shockwave of Magnus' TNT! Using only my strength and my wiles, I steered the foul beast towards the third crystal. I flew the dragon directly towards the final crystal! Only then did Gabriel deliver his famous final blow. We became heroes, and eventually, legends. The greatest the world has ever known.

Soren's false account about the Order's battle against the ender dragon.

Understand -- when I found that blasted block, we were nobodies. But with its help, we became stronger. Faster. We could do so much more! The others had no idea what I was doing... yet the more I used it, the more we came to depend on it. I knew it was only so long before someone would find out. So I concocted a plan. I would use the Command Block to blink the Ender Dragon out of existence... Securing our status as legends... forever.

Soren telling the true story behind the quest to defeat the ender dragon.

You know, I've really enjoyed meeting you and all, but...

Soren's final words to Jesse's gang before running away.

Trivia

  • Soren only wore his hat in the flashbacks.
  • Soren is one of two characters with aviophobia, the fear of flying. Sandy is the other.
    • This is revealed in A Block and a Hard Place if Gabriel contracted mad wither, when everyone is on the flying machine heading to Ivor's laboratory. Gabriel will mention that Ellegaard built a machine like that some time ago, and that Soren was terrified on riding it. Jesse can use this fact against Soren when picking "You're FULL of it." option.
  • In the Minecraft: Story Mode skin pack on console and Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, there is a skin that shows what Soren looks like without his armor.
    • This skin is present in the Minecraft: Story Mode files. However, it's used in place of the armored appearance in the Netflix version.
  • In Hero in Residence, if Radar is not interrupted for a certain amount of time, he mentions a group known as the "Followers of Soren". Jesse was supposed to a have lunch with the group.
  • Though the battle with the ender dragon is the only mission of the old Order of the Stone to be revealed as a fraudulent, Soren can determinately say in A Block and a Hard Place that the Order doesn't even stand a chance without the command block if Gabriel was rescued in The Order of the Stone.
  • Occasionally, if Jesse looks at the window from the second story of Soren's base at the End, in the left bottom corner, Soren in his enderman disguise can be seen.
  • Soren is one of the characters to sing, the second being Jack, with "Jack's Lament", and the third being Radar’s song "Taste My Bravery,” which was removed from the game. His song is titled "Soren's Farewell Song".
