Origins

Kozlov's life began aboard a mysterious Jinkusu class Juggernaut. Kozlov never knew his biological parents as the colony ship was attacked by Nomad forces when he was just a boy. Fortunately the ship was found adrift in Omicron Delta shortly after by an Order patrol. The vessel was searched and Kozlov was found to be the only survivor. With the ship's systems failing, there was no time to uncover anything about it without endangering the boarding party. So with Ivan in tow, the Order troopers evacuated the grand vessel. After their departure , the ship was reported to have fallen into a nearby star.

When questioned about the events that lead to the destruction of the Jinkusu, Ivan couldn't provide any answers, stating that he couldn't remember anything before being found by the search team. In an attempt to find answers, Ivan was examined by a team of physicians. Finding nothing physically wrong, he was seen by a psychiatrist who eventually diagnosed him with dissociative amnesia.

While it would have been more appropriate to leave the child on a Freeport, Stefan Kozlov, a high ranking officer of the Order, adopted the boy. Stefan did his best to ensure Ivan was as well prepared as possible by teaching him as many life skills as possible. Whenever Stefan had leave, he would take Ivan to see tutors in the houses to further his education. Stefan could be viewed as obsessive, treating Ivan as his protege rather than as his son.

Unfortunately while Kozlov, a grown man now, was performing a recon operation in Omega 3, Stefan's squadron was decimated and Stefan was reported to be showing signs of infestation. Kozlov was lucky enough to see his father before he died, however it was not a peaceful death. There was little the Doctors could do and so Stefan died from what appeared to be an affliction of Nomad origins.

Ivan and the Slomon K'Hara

Kozlov's grudge against the Slomon K'Hara comes from his personal experiences with them. The first blow dealt to Kozlov by the Nomads was the destruction of his homeship, a Jinkusu that suffered crippling damage during a Nomad attack in the Omicrons. The second was the murder of his adoptive father, Stefan Kozlov. As Kozlov's career within the Order was looking up, the enemy struck again. The OCV-Retribution was severely damaged and Kozlov was left crippled.

Reincarnation

After his near fatal encounter with his archenemy, Kozlov was in no condition to continue the fight. However, among the team of medics that rescued Kozlov from the Retribution was the ambitious Doctor Logan.

Doctor Logan was a man with a taste for experimentation. Subjects that couldn't refuse treatment were his favorite kind. Logan replaced any damaged part of Kozlov's body with the cutting edge in prosthetic technology. Kozlov wasn't just saved, he was improved.
