Profile

Nika* and over a thousand other children were the product of the Amnethenian dictator Lord Vin's "Meta Knight" program.

After finding texts concerning genetic engineering knowledge lost for hundreds of years, Vin created Nika and her siblings in a laboratory to have super human strength, stamina, agility and psionic abilities.

When they were 15 years old, Vin declared war on all the other nations of Shurek, completely subjugating the world within two years thanks to his now unstoppable armies.

But despite being indoctrinated from birth to have total loyalty to Vin, the atrocities the Meta Knights were forced to commit finally became too much to bear and they revolted, destroying most of Amnethen's standard military effortlessly.

Anticipating that this may occur, Lord Vin released a virus tailored to be almost 100% fatal, but only to the Meta Knights. The few that survived were taken to Vin's fortress, Amnethen Keep, where they had the memories of their psionics training erased and were then publicly executed as traitors.

Nika was the last Meta Knight scheduled for execution. Just before it was to occur the Neverborn arrived in a huge spaceship, blotting out the sun and sending hordes of creatures to the surface of Amnethen that proceeded to wipe out most of the civilian populace and remaining standing army.

With no defenses left, Vin was forced to use Nika as a last chance to stop the Neverborn's invasion. To keep her in check, Vin implanted her with nano machines that would attack her heart if she betrayed him.

Forced to fight for a man she hated, Nika ultimately defeated Viesti and The Neverborn, and even exacted vengeance on Lord Vin.

Believing the nations Amnethen had conquered would swarm the island with the threat of The Neverborn gone (Unaware that most of the world had fared much worse through the invasion than even Amnethen...), she fled with the survivors to the Ark in hopes it could take them to a new world, which they did eventually find.

Her and Duke Argus' descendants inherited her psionic abilities and physical attributes: One of these, Sargon, is the protagonist of Dragoon X Omega II.

* (Meaning "400" in her native language: All Meta Knights were given numerical identifiers in the order they were manufactured as names.)
