Nika 'Vekat

(Will fix later)

Nika 'Vekat was born in the village of Asaos in 1739 (human calender). She had a rather average life growing up, for a female in that time period. At the age of 17 she was granted the once in a life time opportunity to attend the Zelso War College (now known as the Zelso State Military Academy) by the fair Kaidon Insa 'Zelsoma (A later Kaidon decided to run Zelso with and Elected Council) She faced heavy scrutiny by the trainers and fellow recruits. She came under attack multiple times and always succeeded in fighting them off. Eventually she came to her hardest challenge yet. The Acosto Falls Rite of Passage. Out of a class of roughly 200, 50 did not survive. For two days the recruits would face off in live fire exercises against warriors that had dishonored their own names. The objective of the recruits was to reach the top of the Falls and activate a bell that would signal that they had succeeded. Nika fought her way up the mountainous region taking down as many as seven dishonored warriors returning honor back to their name as they died in combat while she gained honor to her own name. On the early morning of the second day, while the sky was still dark, Nika and another recruit Ezio (the only male to befriend her) reached the bell and rang it. Then both she and Ezio disappeared shortly after. The body of Ezio was later found near the edge of the water fall with his lower body burned away. Nika's body was never located and her disappearance is still a mystery to this day. In honor of her known achievement of being the only female to attempt and complete the Rite of Passage, and so that she would never be forgotten, her home town changed its name to Vekat in her memory

[Facts that are now known in 2556] In truth Ezio was never a friend of Nika but an enemy. Upon reaching the top of the Acosto Falls, she was chased by Ezio after she had finished before him. Nika ran into an unknown cave behind the waterfall that only is revealed when the water level is low enough (happens every 400 years)Inside that cave she stumbled upon an ancient Forerunner medical facility that had lied dormant for thousands of years. Her presence brought the facility back online. Ezio had followed her inside and shot her with his Type-31 Carbine through one of her chest resulting in a fatal blow. He then attempted to 'dishonor' her dying body. Luckily the Forerunner facility had some medical drones standing by. They also had a small security detachment of Sentinels that chased Ezio out before he could precede and killed him. The medical drones were unable to operate to save her so they placed her in Cryogenic storage until someone came and enabled some of the locked down systems.

In the year 2556 this happened
