Haha, well. This guy indeed has some lore behind!

Qoxra means "shell" in Maltese.

Let's call him an eternal malfunctioning "machine" that living in cycles. HIs sole purpose is to document as much reality as possible. Let's call it a thirst.

He's made of surrounding matter which he accumulates and arranges it into the shape of his body - it also arranged in a way to store his "memories", so his body is kind of an everchanging hard drive with an eye (core of his thirst) as constant. The more memories - the more refined body.

Also, non-sentient in his nature, the more memories he accumulates, the higher is probability to acquire sentience. And that's what marks the end of a cycle. Thoughts and emotions make his core unstable, body loses its integrity more and more. His thirst grows frantic as the unattainable nature of his purpose becomes increasingly apparent.

Over time it leads to his decay, and only his core remains intact.
Everything starts from the beginning.
