Biographical Details of Abbess Kovacs, ward of LEGION project

Raised in near isolation by migratory Nod separatists on the edge of what would become the Central African Red Zone, Alexa Kovacs was orphaned in her pre-teens. After surviving over a year alone in the burnt-out remains of her parents' homestead, Alexa was discovered mute and near-starving by a patrolling group of Nod scavengers.

Intelligent and pragmatic, she quickly took up with her rescuers as a rookie zone runner. Kovacs' devout religious beliefs and near-preternatural understanding of cybernetics and AI quickly garnered attention within the Brotherhood, leading to her enrollment in the Nod Academy.

Rising quickly through the ranks post-graduation, Kovacs developed a reputation for coldness, reserve and near-fanatical religious dogmatism that segregated her from her peers - and drew the attention of Kane himself. Despite her youth, Alexa was raised to the level of Abbess and enlisted to participate in one of the Nod leader's most secretive projects - working on the development of LEGION, a CABAL-derived experimental combat AI.

LEGION項目負責人，女修士長Kovacs的生平細節(jié)

Alexa Kovacs在幾乎與世隔絕的環(huán)境中長大，父母是遷徙的Nod分離主義者，居住在后來成為中非紅區(qū)的邊緣地區(qū)，她在十幾歲之前就成了孤兒。在她父母被燒毀的住宅里獨自生存了一年多之后，Alexa被一群巡邏的Nod拾荒者發(fā)現(xiàn)，此時她饑腸轆轆，近乎啞巴。

聰明務實的她很快作為新秀而被拾荒者接受。Kovacs虔誠的宗教信仰和對控制論和人工智能近乎異常的理解迅速引起了兄弟會的注意，并被Nod學院錄取。

畢業(yè)后迅速晉升，Kovacs以冷漠、保守和近乎狂熱的宗教教條主義而聞名，這使她與同齡人分離開來——并引起了凱恩本人的注意。盡管她很年輕，Alexa還是被提升到了女修士長的級別，并被征召參加Nod領導人最秘密的項目之一——開發(fā)LEGION，一個由CABAL衍生出的實驗性戰(zhàn)斗AI。
