"There is blood on my hands. But we all do what we have to in order to survive."

―Herbert Sawicki

Herbert Sawicki is a human refugee enslaved by the Wardens.

Biography

Prior to the Chimeran invasion Herbert appears to be an intellectual with some knowledge on Chimeran technology and biology. After United States fell to the Chimera, Herbert sought shelter at Graterford Prison for safety but instead he became a lackey for the Wardens' leader Mick Cutler. Herbert was forced to work as their errand boy, using his superior technical knowledge to keep the prison a sustainable refuge. He was responsible for reprogramming captured Chimeran security drones in keeping the prison undetected from the Chimera.

For over three years, Herbert suffered the abuses from his handlers, especially Mick, and unwillingly participated in their atrocities. During that time, he discreetly built a weapon, dubbed the Mutator, which fires a weaponized strain of the Chimeran virus found in feral Leeches from the prison's lower levels.

After Joseph Capelli was captured by the Wardens, Herbert watched him defending himself and eventually survived in Graterford's arena. He would later find Dr. Fyodor Malikov's journal and become greatly interested in the scientist's research on the Chimera. Mixed with his interest in Malikov's work and Capelli's action, Herbert finally decided he had enough of Mick and devise a plan with Capelli to escape the prison. He provided Capelli his Mutator and instructed him to disable the security drones in order to alert the Chimera to the prison.

As Capelli fought the Wardens and disabled the drones, Herbert freed the other captives. As they attempt to disable the last drone, they are discovered by Mick, who learned of their attempt, and secured the drone to the arena. While Capelli goes after the drone, Herbert hides while the Chimera attacks the prison. He and the prisoners escaped with Capelli before the prison is completely overrun by the Chimera. Herbert was grateful for Capelli's help and offered something to him in gratitude; however, Capelli only told Herbert and the prisoners to take care of each other before going their separate ways.

Herbert would continue to follow and study on Malikov's research in learning more about the Chimera and finding a way to defeat them; in which he soon concluded from Malikov's studies that the "Pure Chimera" are the masterminds behind the invasion. Much later he focus his attention on the Gray Tech artifacts.
