3) a puppet must protect and serve humans and the city of Krat. You see, upon creation, all puppets are programmed to follow the Grand Covenant, which has four unbreakable rules: 1) all puppets must obey their creator’s commands. Gepetto, the original puppet creator, is also missing. Venigni Company, Krat’s largest puppet factory, has no idea what caused the uprising and its owner, the genius inventor Mr.
