When it happened
- Late Ledger Wars
Koschei opens Umbra Reef's labor pens; the Combine answers with sterilization, and an APEX prototype walks in the atrocity.
- Late Ledger Wars
Months after the sterilization, the uprising's dead commander walks out of the water below Umbra Reef, rebuilt by the Strand. His soldiers rename him Koschei, from an old Cradle story about a man whose death is kept outside his body.
