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项目负责人，女修士长Kovacs的生平细节

Alexa Kovacs在几乎与世隔绝的环境中长大，父母是迁徙的Nod分离主义者，居住在后来成为中非红区的边缘地区，她在十几岁之前就成了孤儿。在她父母被烧毁的住宅里独自生存了一年多之后，Alexa被一群巡逻的Nod拾荒者发现，此时她饥肠辘辘，近乎哑巴。

聪明务实的她很快作为新秀而被拾荒者接受。Kovacs虔诚的宗教信仰和对控制论和人工智能近乎异常的理解迅速引起了兄弟会的注意，并被Nod学院录取。

毕业后迅速晋升，Kovacs以冷漠、保守和近乎狂热的宗教教条主义而闻名，这使她与同龄人分离开来——并引起了凯恩本人的注意。尽管她很年轻，Alexa还是被提升到了女修士长的级别，并被征召参加Nod领导人最秘密的项目之一——开发LEGION，一个由CABAL衍生出的实验性战斗AI。
