Brackern[]

Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.

Dormun[]

The Dormun are gigantic, slow-moving creatures protected with large chitinous plates covering their body. In the harsh conditions of Shurima they have evolved to survive the perpetual drought by utilizing an unknown sense to locate hidden reservoirs of water. Incidentally, certain nomadic tribes have built themselves a permanent home upon the backs of these beasts where they clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near.

Eka'Sul[]

Desert goats that travel in herds.

Mwatis[]

Mwatis are goatlike creatures with large plated casques on their heads. Mwati wool and plate are prised for felting and insulation.

Kmiros[]

Gigantic scarabs that roam in swarms, looking for unfortunate travelers to feed on. They seem to be common prey for Rammus Rammus.

Outerbeasts[]

Beside the Xer'Sai, other creatures from the Void, referred to as 'outerbeasts', can be found in the desert.

  • Xer'Sai: Creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller or much bigger. Rek'Sai Rek'Sai, as the queen, is by far the largest and most dangerous of her species. Xer'sai burst from their small burrows and ravage anything nearby, to the detriment of desert caravans. Once dead, the Xer'sai decompose at an abnormally rapid rate and become inedible.

Ralsiji[]

Large and aggressive minotaur-like creatures. They are humpbacked quadrupeds with long limbs and thick horns.

Shuriman Camel[]

A breed of camels native to the deserts of Shurima and are used by caravans as well as common folk as primary mode of transportation. Despite being well-suited for lengthy travels in the desert landscape, they are still prey to a many predator such as the Xer'Sai.

Sandswimmers[]

Shurima Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers are massive quadrupedal creatures that traverse the Shuriman desert in cyclical patterns. They got their name due to their preferred method of travel. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly design for swimming under the sand. They feed on bugs and other small creatures most desert beasts ignore. Scavengers will often memorize the predictable paths these creatures take, and jump onto their backs to ride as far as they wish.


Skallashi[]

The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores. These hardy beasts of burden are common across Shurima, ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Their key body feature is their long legs. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence. Their brown hides are often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. While these creatures are mostly used for travel and carrying heavy loads, on some larger skallashi people are able to built miniature rooms for more comfortable travel. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity.

Sevika
Sevika (Universe)Sevika (Universe)

Sevika is a Zaunite councilor, formerly a criminal and Silco's Silco's right-hand woman.

Background

Early life

Not much is known about Sevika's childhood, but she is stated to have had a somewhat rocky relationship with her father. As a resident of Zaun, she eventually became fed up with the Piltovan Enforcers attacking the undercity streets, and grew to believe that the only way to earn the respect of Piltover was by fighting back in a violent uprising.

Hexgem Incident

Sevika is first seen as a customer in Vander's Vander's bar, where she questions his plans for negotiations with Piltover. Vander's pacifistic and somewhat resigned speech fails to sway her, and she storms out along with several other patrons, much to Vander's dismay.[1]

Having abandoned Vander, Sevika instead turned her loyalties to the criminal kingpin Silco Silco, who was building an army of Shimmer-enhanced soldiers to start a violent uprising against Piltover. Silco kidnapped Vander to convince him to join him, but when Vander refused, they had him locked up instead to lure Vander's children into a trap.[2]

However, this plan would backfire when Powder Powder used a bomb made of Hex crystals, which destroyed the entire complex and nearly killed Silco. Sevika was able to protect Silco from the blast, but lost her left arm in the process. Soon afterwards, Silco would adopt Powder as his daughter (renaming her "Jinx"), much to Sevika's annoyance.[2]

Border Crisis

Years later, Sevika had worked her way up to being Silco's top enforcer, having acquired a Shimmer-infused mechanical arm and overseeing a multitude of operations within the criminal empire. However, Sevika remained skeptical of Jinx's usefulness to their cause, and frequently told Silco that she was a liability. However, Silco dismissed these claims, leaving Sevika to clean up all of Jinx's messes.[3]

After Vi returned to Zaun, she attacked Sevika and questioned her on Powder's whereabouts. After informing her that Powder now works for Silco and changed her name to Jinx, Sevika stabbed Vi and prepared to finish her off before she was rescued by Caitlyn, causing Sevika to retreat. She then informed Silco of Vi's return, and the gang gave chase.[4] Sevika was later overpowered and interrogated by Jinx, who tied her up in Silco's office after learning that her sister was alive.[5]

Following Jinx's disappearance, Sevika accompanied Silco to a meeting with the Chem-Barons, who started questioning Silco's leadership before he strongarmed them back in line.[6] However, Baron Finn continued to undermine Silco and privately urged Sevika to betray him, since Silco was clearly struggling to reign in Jinx, while also staying in control of his criminal empire, something Finn thought made Silco soft.[7] After a Shimmer production plant was destroyed by Vi and Jayce, Baron Renni joined the insurrection, and the barons planned to have Silco assassinated. After a tense exchange, Sevika proved her loyalty to Silco by killing Finn, which again brought the other barons back in line.[8]

Afterwards, Silco left the undercity for a parley with Jayce, leaving Sevika in charge in his absence. During this time, Vi entered the Last Drop in hopes of finding Silco, and once again battled Sevika. While Sevika initially got the upper hand on Vi, the fight ended in her defeat, with Vi ripping off her mechanical arm. Afterwards, Sevika awaited Silco's return, unaware of his death at the hands of Jinx.[8]

After Silco's death, the remaining Chem-Barons are seen battling each-other for control, dragging the underground into even more chaos and disruption. Sevika holds a meeting with them in order to redirect their attention to the real enemy being topside, As they are discussing potential strategies against Piltover, Smeech suggests to hand over Jinx, to which Sevika refuses, claiming her as one of their people, and that they should not offer her up.

Smeech Encounter

Sevika shows up to Jinx's defense after Smeech and his goons had cornered her. She is then given a new prosthetic arm by her as a gift that has a slot machine function for various attacks. She ends up using it to defeat Smeech, and reconciles with Jinx over their mutual assistance to one another. Later on she is seen aiding Jinx in her battle against Vi and Caitlyn, and then saving her by blowing up the Temple of Janna and unleashing an air duct that pushed them out.

Appearance

Sevika is a muscular, brown skinned woman of middle-age. She has short, black hair and grey eyes. She wears common Zaunite clothing dominated by earth tones with some additional copper elements and accessories. She is often seen wearing a red poncho on top of her regular clothing. Due to a shimmer explosion that took her left arm, Sevika would have it replaced with a copper colored chemtech prosthetic. Her prosthetic would later get damaged and then replaced with a colorful chomper arm that was gifted to her by Powder Powder .

Because she used shimmer to enhance her prosthetic left arm, the entire left area of her body would show cracked blue and purple scarring and veins (most noticeable are her scars on the left side of her face), which would become more prominent and purple in color every time Sevika injected shimmer into her bloodstream. Her eyes would also temporarily glow purple while using shimmer.

Personality

As Silco's second-in-command, Sevika is described as a frightening presence in Zaun, keeping the other henchmen in line. Her ruthlessness and strength would even catch the attention of Chem-Barons such as Finn Finn. Running a tight ship, Sevika doesn't tolerate weakness or failure, which leads her to see Jinx as a liability to Silco's criminal empire, leading to a strong mutual dislike between the two. Despite this, Sevika is not wholly unsympathetic to Jinx, and offers words of encouragement to Silco upon her disappearance. Despite grieving Silco's death, Sevika seems to remain focused and collected, redirecting the remaining Chem-Barons' attention towards the main goal; defeating topside, rather than the petty turf wars they were engaging in. She also refuses the idea of handing out Jinx to Piltover when Smeech suggests it, stating that "we do not offer our own people", a line that parallels Vander back in season 1.

Abilities

  • Brawler: Sevika is skilled at hand-to-hand combat, being able to dodge and counter most punches. She would use her fighting skills in tandem with her augmented arm.
    • Chemtech Arm: Due to a Shimmer explosion that took her left arm, Sevika would wear a chemtech prosthetic arm. Out of combat it functions as a regular prosthetic, while in combat it can enhance her punches by injecting shimmer into the device and her own bloodstream. The hydraulic piston enhance the physical force of her punches, while also extend the reach of her mechanical arm. After being damaged, Sevika would modify her arm to include a shimmer injection port (where she could add in vials by herself) as well as an extending blade that, when superheated, is able to dispel waves of energy that's able to cut through most surfaces. Currently her arm is severely damaged after a second fight with Vi, with only the shoulder attachment point remaining. After Jinx repaired her prosthetic arm, she modified it to become more peculiar, having a metal jaw instead of an hand that could shred Smeech's cybernetic limbs with ease, hidden weapons that were activated with a roulette attached to the arm such as a flamethrower, boxing glove, smoke disperser, among other hidden weapons.
  • Leadership: Sevika is a competent leader and well respected and feared in the Undercity. She would become Silco's second-in-command and be entrusted with most of his businesses and goons. As shown, after Silko’s death, Sevika managed to rally the surviving Chem-Barons to try and convince them to a ceasefire and focus their strength in dealing with the topside of Piltover, successfully convincing Margot, Chross and Smeech to consider it.
  • Chemtech Engineering: As shown, Sevika has some knowledge and skill with chemtech engineering . As she has been shown to frequently do maintenance and repairs on her chemtech arm.

Relations

Vander Vander

Sevika used to respect Vander and followed his leadership in the Undercity. After Enforcers started to patrol and harass the Undercity populace, her and many other concerned citizens looked towards Vander for answers. She confronted him about his soft approach with the police and demanded that he act. When he refused, she left his bar and would quickly join Silco's cause and go against Vander's wishes.

Vi Vi

Initially, Sevika was indifferent towards young Vi during Vander's reign, not knowing that she was the direct cause for most of Zaun's recent upheavals. She attempted to fight young Vi after she taken out most of Silco's goons, but was stopped by him, sending out a shimmered up Deckard instead. When Vi got out from prison, she would quickly track Sevika down and engage her in a fight. While both hate each other, they respected each others' fighting skills. While Sevika won the first match (only being thwarted from killing Vi by Caitlyn's arrival and interference), she would ultimately lose against Vi in their second encounter at the bar.

Jinx Jinx

After she was adopted by Silco, Sevika rose to the rank of second-in-command, responsible for making sure her bosses' operations went smoothly. However her and Jinx had a strained relationship, as both competed for Silco's favor. Sevika saw Jinx as a loose cannon, unhinged and often prone to violent outbursts that result in things going out of control. Jinx was aware of this, and would often only acknowledge Sevika to rile her up. Despite their rocky relationship however, Sevika herself is not completely devoid of empathy with Jinx. As shown when she understood her feelings towards Silco’s due to him lying and keeping things from her regarding her sister and offered Silco advice to give her space to sort out her feelings. When Smeech proposed to hand over Jinx to Piltover to get them to lay off Zaun and allow them to regain their bearing without being harassed by the topside, Sevika had notably been the only one to defend her and refuse his proposal. As shown, despite Jinx causing Silco’s death, Sevika does not hold it directly to her and considers her one of her people. As shown, where alongside Jinx, she mourned for Silco’s death and emphasized with her for his loss. Sevika herself would come to Jinx’s rescue after she was cornered by Smeech and his goons, where the latter would then give her a new robotic arm she had built to replace the one she lost fighting Vi. When Jinx had decided to confront Vi once again, Sevika had also chosen to help her and later, saved her once again when Vi and Caitlyn had them cornered, blowing up the temple of Janna and opening up a massive air duct to allow them to escape.

Silco Silco

Sevika joined Silco's cause after her disappointment at Vander's weak and passive approach towards improving Zaun's standing. She saw potential in Silco's vision and would become one of his most loyal goons, even saving his life from an explosion that would cost her an arm. During his rise to power Silco would make sure to take into account Sevika's advice and treated her well, though in the matters of Jinx she would greatly disapprove of his soft and permissive approach towards raising his adoptive daughter. She would sometimes open up to Silco, telling him about her past, often as advice when dealing with Jinx as his child. Even when offered a better (more lucrative) deal by other Chem-Barons, Sevika would stay loyal to her boss, and execute the traitors without question. She would assure him that she never intended to betray him for worms such as them (indicating that if another, stronger person offered a better deal, she would take it). She would ultimately remain loyal to him until his death. Later, after his death, Sevika showed that she cared for her former boss much more than she let on and deeply valued his leadership, especially now that the remaining Chem-Barons have begun fighting over Silco’s throne. Sevika would later mourn Silco’s death alongside the latter’s adoptive daughter Jinx.

Ekko Ekko

Sevika and most of her henchmen would frequently deal with Ekko and his Firelights, who would disrupt and sabotage their shimmer shipments.

Caitlyn Kiramman Caitlyn Kiramman

While she doesn't know Caitlyn personally, she would be responsible for taking down Sevika and her chemtech arm before she could finish off Vi in their first fight. This would result in Sevika fixing and modifying her arm.

Finn Finn

Sevika considered Finn to be a simpleminded, weak, and arrogant person. While she would appear to have sided with Finn in his attempt to take Silco out, she would ultimately turn against his offer and kill him in front of Silco. Upon Silco asking her if she had genuinely considered Finn's offer to turn on him, Sevika renounced Finn as not worth the bother, due to being too weak for it to be a wise investment.

Trivia

  • In Arcane Sevika was voiced by Amirah Vann, who also voiced the fish-like Vastayan Apothecary.
  • In episode 4 of season 2, Jinx tells Sevika "Don't suppose you can swim, huh, Lefty?" This implies that Sevika is left handed and lost her dominant arm.
    • This can also explain why we see her struggling to fix her mechanical prosthetic earlier in episode 2.
