During the violent hyper-industrialization that signaled the end of their civilization, the denizens of Infinity split into armed factions. Fighting for the few resources left to them, they fought wars of starvation. Eventually, the only factions to survive were those whose soldiers needed the least food and drink to survive: the cyborgs.

Seraph-XS combots provided the Randayn faction the deadly might they needed to protect their supplies from outsiders until they eventually turned on themselves. And the last Seraph-XS standing was Seraph-XS 919.

Taking pity on Seraph, Crogenitor Suzu granted her additional capacities. Scrubbing her algorithms clean from “master-control,” Suzu gave Seraph-XS free will. That should have guaranteed Seraph-XS a better life. But the invasion of the Darkspore turned the freedom to pursue life into the freedom to select targets for death. Possessing at that point three centuries of horrific combat experience, Seraph-XS inventively and ruthlessly slaughtered her Darkspore enemies with a combination of deadly mines, attractor bombs and auto-turrets.

Crogenitor Suzu hoped that one day, his “child” might be free of the terror that defined her existence. But Suzu knew that day could not come until the galaxy was free of the Darkspore.
