Kovik, Splicer Priest is a Devil Splicer High Priest that led the invasion on a Hive nest deep within Bunker Triglav in the Plaguelands. He serves as the main boss of the Wretched Eye Strike.[1]
Overview
According to rumors, Kovik is among those responsible for the Devil Splicers' SIVA-fueled evolution. His twisted science has lead to new horrifying developments for the Fallen, turning them from ether-starved pirates to half-machine demigods. However, Kovik's ambitions didn't stop there as the mad Splicer Priest’s research took a far more sinister turn as he sought to control and weaponize the more aggressive aspects of the Hive’s mysterious biology. His daring assault and torturing of the Hive, initiated a full-scale war between the Devil Splicers and the infuriated Hive.
Koviks efforts would soon lead him to a Hive nesting ground hidden within a old missile silo. Kovik and his forces were able to drive out the Hive and capture an Ogre which Kovik began to experiment on personally. Kovik dissected the beast and was able to remove its Void-eye, create a weapon powered by it, Wretched Gaze, and even command the Ogre to a degree.
However, his efforts to experiment on the Hive was noticed by Shiro-4 and the Guardians who began to disrupt Koviks operations. The Guardians descended down the missile silo and Kovik encountered them at the center of the nest. Kovik battled the Guardians with his new weapon and the Ogre he enslaved, dubbed Kovik's Monster. Despite his efforts and morbid weapons, Kovik was killed by the Guardians. Despite this victory, Shiro worries if the Splicers will continue Kovik's work.
