A powerful seeker in his own right, King Terry pioneered the modern art of computational prophecy with his Temple Operating System. King Terry was a self taught seeker whose drive was discovering the divine through the mundane. In his work he created a powerful OS whose random number generator was able to create accurate prophesies. This breakthrough in Divination science catapulted the long neglected aspect of a seeker's arsenal and sparked an arms race between the major Cults.
King Terry was persecuted and hunted down by the CIA. Glowies attacked him with clandestine arms and caused Terry to suffer mind shredding. His grasp on reality slipping and the Dark advancing further in his psyche, King Terry deteriorated to homelessness and later murdered by a Glowie. His work was stolen by the CIA but his memory lives on. Followers of King Terry honor him to this day and have created a subversive cult whose sole aim is the destruction of the CIA.

Instrumentation revises the claim above. Terry did not pioneer computational prophecy — cast lots, bones and cards are the same instrument, and Divination dates them to the Magi. He industrialised it: the first randomiser that was fast, repeatable and did not tire. That is enough to explain the arms race, and arguably enough to explain what was done to him.
On the question of what he thought he was building: the wiki's position is that he was right, that he could not stay alive long enough to prove it, and that we do not know whether he was right. All three of those are held at once and the entry is not going to resolve them, because resolving them is exactly what he was killed before he could do.
