According to rumors, Kovik was among those responsible for the Devil Splicers' [[SIVA]]-fueled evolution. His twisted experiments led to new horrifying developments in Fallen technology, changing them from [[Ether]]-starved pirates into part-machine demigods. However, Kovik's ambitions didn't stop there, as the mad Priest’s research took a far more sinister turn when he sought to control and weaponize the more aggressive aspects of the Hive’s mysterious biology. His daring assault on their territory, as well as his torturous experiments on them, initiated a full-scale war between the Devil Splicers and the infuriated [[Hidden Swarm|Brood]].  

The High Priest's efforts would soon led him to a Hive nesting ground, hidden within an old missile silo: [[Cyclone 141G]]. He and his forces were able to drive out the Hidden Swarm and capture an [[Ogre]], which Kovik began to experiment on personally. The mad Priest dissected the beast and was able to remove its [[Void]] eye, which he would he would fuse with a [[Null Cannon]] to create powerful new weapon, called the [[Wretched Gaze]]. He even gained a degree of control over the abomination.

However, his efforts to experiment on the Hive gained the attention of the [[Vanguard]] Scout, [[Shiro-4]], and the [[Guardian]]s, who began to disrupt Kovik's operations. The [[Lightbearer]]s descended into the missile silo were the High Priest was hiding, finding him at the heart of the nest. The Splicer battled the insurgents with his modified weapon and the Ogre he had enslaved, dubbed [[Kovik's Monster]]. In Spite of his efforts and his morbid creations, Kovik was defeated and killed by the Guardians. Meanwhile, Shiro worried if the Splicers would continue the High Priest's work, but fortunately, his death of brought an end to his depraved experiments.
