SERAPH-XS

Seraph XS: The Infiltrator, Cyber Ravager from Infinity.

Seraph-XS, the Infiltrator, commonly referred to as just "Seraph" and sometimes called " Seraph-XS 919 ", is the one-and-only Cyber Ravager. She was originally a Combot, one of the drones used to fight The Darkspore on Infinity, home planet of Cyber genesis , until Crogenitor Suzu reprogrammed her to have free will and a personality.

Seraph is the one of only three Ravagers with a ranged basic attack; the others are Arakna and Krel.


 

Revelation[]

Seraph was one of the first Heroes ever revealed through a concept art picture depicting her standing aside various other heroes. She was briefly hinted at by Maxis developers on the Darkspore forums, but she wasn't revealed officially, and was eventually discovered by the people who played the Darkspore Beta Program.


Lore[]

During the violent hyper-industrialization that signaled the end of their civilization, the denizens of Infinity split into armed factions. Fighting over the few resources they had left to them, they fought wars of starvation. Eventually, the only factions to survive were the ones who needed the least food or 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 capabilities. Scrubbing her algorithms clean from "master-control", Suzu gave Seraph XS free will. That should have guaranteed Seraph XS a better life. Unfortunately, the Darkspore invasion turned the freedom to pursue life into the freedom to select targets for death. Possessing at that point 300 years of 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" would be free of the terror that defined her existence. But Suzu knew that day would not come until the galaxy was free of the Darkspore...

Trivia[]

  • Betaseraphxs by darkspore conceptart-d3fc4ed

    Early Concept of Seraph-XS.

    Seraph's right arm is a grenade-lobbing blaster weapon that bears a resemblance to the portal gun from the game series Portal. Since she always crossed her arms while running, from a distance it would appear her left arm held her weapon.
  • Seraph is the only other hero in the game who is a completely inorganic being (the other being Meditron).
  • According to her lore, her full name is "Seraph XS 919".
  • In the Christian and Hebrew bible, Seraphs are fiery, six-winged angelic beings. This explains Seraph's name, which fits with the style of naming Cyber heroes after biblical figures (Goliath, Titan, ect.).
    Betaseraphxs with claws by darkspore conceptart-d3fc4fr

    Early concept of Seraph-XS with claws.

  • Seraph is one of two Genetic Heroes who were called "children" of Crogenitors. The other one is Andromeda.
  • Seraph's suffix, 'XS', when pronounced quickly sounds almost exactly like 'access', referring to her Passive and her title.
