Kovik was once a [[Baron]] of the House of Devils and a member of its [[Splicers|Splicer]] sect, where he often experimented with technologies and cybernetics to improve the House, working closely with two others known as Aksis and Vosik. When Vosik was wounded during the [[Battle of the Twilight Gap|Final Attempt]] it was Kovik who replaced his severed arms with a single large cannon arm. The rest of the Devils often feared Kovik for the unstable tendencies he had, but he hardly cared as long as he could work. | Kovik was once a [[Baron]] of the House of Devils and a member of its [[Splicers|Splicer]] sect, where he often experimented with technologies and cybernetics to improve the House, working closely with two others known as Aksis and Vosik.

As time went on the House of Devils would only grow more desperate following the [[Forum:Hope-Eater Crisis|Hope-Eater Crisis]], and the three searched wherever they could for anything at all that may turn their situation around. What they found was [[Rasputin]], and it was Aksis who suggested using his technology to aid the Fallen.

What they found was [[Rasputin]], and it was Aksis who suggested using his technology to aid the Fallen. Kovik worked with Vosik to aid Aksis in the construction of the [[S.A.B.E.R.-2]] to hack the [[Warmind]]’s systems and gain control. Thanks to the quick response time of the [[Guardian]]s however this attempt would inevitably fail with the Devourer Shank’s destruction. Despite this, the three managed to obtain scraps of useful information while the SABER was still breaching Rasputin’s systems: a bit about a [[Golden Age]] technology known as SIVA, and a set of coordinates leading to the [[Dust Palace]] on [[Mars]]. | ||

Wasting no further time the three followed the trail that had been left for them, taking a crew of Fallen to Mars and breaking into the [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] facility, salvaging every scrap of data they could in spite of the heavy [[Cabal]] resistance. Vosik and his forces managed to hold them back long enough for Aksis and Kovik to obtain enough useful information about the SIVA nanotechnology before they were forced to retreat. Undeterred, the three set out to the [[Plaguelands]], where they would find not only SIVA itself, but also [[Site 6]], the replication chamber used to produce it. Excited at this new discovery, Kovik immediately suggested using this Golden Age technology to benefit the Devils, but Aksis thought different. With SIVA, he realized that the Fallen could augment their own bodies and rid themselves of the imperfections of flesh. With SIVA, the Fallen could ascend into gods. | Wasting no further time the three followed the trail that had been left for them, taking a crew of Fallen to Mars and breaking into the [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] facility, salvaging every scrap of data they could in spite of the heavy [[Cabal]] resistance.

It was Kovik’s twisted science and experimentation in particular which fueled the Eliksni’s evolution and allowed them to reach newer, horrifying developments. But while Aksis moved to rally more supporters and Vosik set himself on building the sect’s defenses, Kovik only delved deeper into his experiments for the benefit of the Devils, as well as to satisfy his own curiosity and ambition. He had also turned his attention to [[Felwinter|the]] [[Gheleon|three]] [[Jolder|bodies]] that were found within Site 6, reanimating them into the first of the [[Forum:Revenant (Twisted Fate)|Revenant]]s. | ||

As the Splicers continued to amass strength and power, so did | As the Splicers continued to amass strength and power, so did Kovik’s ambitions grow. Taking notice of [[Blood of Oryx|a brood of Hive]] that had set up shop within the Plaguelands some time before their arrival, he began to grow interested in the Hive’s biology and thought about how it might be paired with SIVA. Thus, he ordered his men to capture and gather as many Hive as they could, causing an all-out war to break out between the Fallen and Hive within the [[Cosmodrome]]. Setting up his new headquarters within [[Bunker Triglav|an old missile silo]], he performed brutal and heinous experiments on the captive Hive, integrating their body parts with SIVA. Eventually, he had gathered enough to form his own personal slave army, known as the [[Forum:Splicer Swarm|Splicer Swarm]]. | ||
As the war between the broods of Hive and the Splicers continued, both the Revenants and Splicer Swarm were deployed against them, allowing Kovik to add even more Hive to the ranks of his slave army. As Vosik saw this, he reflected on how deranged his colleague was, but at the same time acknowledged how his sciences allowed the Splicers to advance, and thought that perhaps they could even challenge the [[Last City]] should they threaten them. | As the war between the broods of Hive and the Splicers continued, both the Revenants and Splicer Swarm were deployed against them, allowing Kovik to add even more Hive to the ranks of his slave army.
