He was the guy who was single-handedly responsible for the extinction of all life on earth, right down to single-cell organisms, by creating unhackable, self-replicating warbots that could take control of other machines and consume organic material for fuel.

Later on, he murders the people who managed to salvage a tiny sliver of hope from his fuck-up and lobotomizes the AI function that was meant to teach humanity its history and skills which is why all of the current humans are primitive tribals. And because they are tribals who don't understand what's going on, they hunt the machines that are meant to be terraforming the earth. That in turned pissed off the AI function responsible for making them which makes it retaliate by weaponizing its current machines and then building brand new machines with the sole purpose of killing people.

One tribe called the Carja witnessed the increased hostility of the machines and started abducting people to sacrifice to their sun god, leading to a huge war between the tribes. Even after being defeated, one faction still loyal to the insane king discovers an AI function who helps them awaken the original Faro machines, once again threatening the extinction of all life on earth.

Basically, Ted Faro isn't just responsible for the extinction of all life on earth, he's also responsible for all of the current conflicts and deaths now that the world has mostly recovered.
