"So yeah, Natko's right. We're fucked either way. But when has that ever stopped us before?"
―Tomas Sevchenko[src]


Sergeant Tomas "Sev" Sevchenko is the main protagonist of Killzone 2 and Killzone 3. He is a Vektan soldier who suffered the loss of his family during the outbreak of the Second Extrasolar War. He is a member of Alpha Squad who participated in Operation Archangel to bring an end to the conflict.

Biography[]

Born in 2333 to a solid, respectable family in the northern part of Vekta City, Sev enlisted in the army against his parents' wishes, seeing it as his duty to defend the homeland. His powerful idealism acquired a raw personal edge when members of his own family suffered during the Helghast invasion of Vekta, an incident which caused Sev to take up arms again and still plagues him with nightmares.

Younger and less experienced than the veterans Rico Velasquez and Shawn Natko, he makes up for this by being a superb technical soldier, having distinguished himself in service as courageous, intelligent and highly resourceful. This caught the eye of Jan Templar, who saw something of himself in Sev and followed his rise through the ranks, until a fatality in Alpha opened up the position of second-in-command to Rico.

Operation Archangel[]

Zzzzzzzzzx

Sev in Killzone 2

Sev and Alpha Squad participated in the ISA invasion of the Helghast capital city of Pyrrhus in Operation Archangel. Sev and his squad land at the Corinth River, assisting ISA forces through the city and helping Captain Jason Narville's Avenger Convoy in pushing their way into Visari Square. However, the ISA assault was stopped by the Helghast's Arc Towers.

Sev and Alpha Squad along with Dr. Evelyn Batton later traveled to the wastelands south of Pyrrhus in finding the energy source, Petrusite, that were powering the Arc Towers. He and Rico split up to activate communication with the New Sun and trying to find a missing ISA scout team that were last seen in the area. Eventually, they found the scout team having been killed by the Helghast. After establishing the uplink with the New Sun, the rest of Alpha Squad and Batton were captured, forcing Sev and Rico to chase after their captors to the Tharsis Refinery. There, they discovered the schematics for the Petrusite distribution system and a central grid somewhere in the wastelands. The two soon found their comrades being interrogated by Colonel Mael Radec. Sev tried to plan to outflank Radec and his guards, but a very impatient Rico charged in and attacked, and indirectly causing Garza to be mortally wounded in the crossfire.

After Radec was forced to retreat, Sev was unable to save Garza who died in Sev's arms. Sev and his remaining squad returned to the New Sun and mourn over Garza's death. When Rico tried to comfort Sev, who instead rejected his teammate's sympathies and venomously blames him for Garza's demise. Garza's funeral was soon interrupted by a Helghast counterattack on the flagship and its escorts. Sev and Alpha hold off Helghast boarders until finally abandoning ship but not before learning that Templar has been fatally wounded by Radec. Sev and his comrades then witnessed Templar's final act in crashing the New Sun into the Petrusite grid, shutting down Pyrrhus's defenses.

They land near the New Sun's crash site in the Maelstra Barrens before rendezvousing with Captain Narville, who was preparing his forces to renew their advance into Pyrrhus. Just then, Sev and the others witnessed the detonation of the Red Dust nuclear warhead on Pyrrhus, significantly wiping out much of the ISA forces and Helghast in the city. Despite the losses, Sev and his teammates continued in their assault on Pyrrhus. After fighting their way through the city and eventually reaching Visari Palace, Sev and along with Rico head inside the palace where they confronted and defeated Radec and Visari's Honor Guards. Thereafter, they entered Visari's main chambers, where they attempt to arrest Visari. When Visari goes into a rant by claiming that the ISA have not won the war, Sev was prepared to arrest Visari but only for Rico to impulsively kill the Autarch much to Sev's shock and horror.

With Visari dead, Sev was emotionally overwhelmed by the failure to take in Visari after so many lives were wasted in the invasion, and exited the palace, ignoring Narville's demands of what had happened on the way. Outside, Sev sat on the palace's steps to witness the arrival of the Helghast First Army that was preparing to wipe out the remains of the ISA invasion force.[2]

Six Months On[]

Tomas Sevchenko

Sev in Killzone 3.

Sev and what is the left of the ISA forces attempted to escape from Helghan, but only to become stranded as the remaining ISA ships fled from the planet. Sev was separated from Rico during the chaos and went into hiding with Captain Narville.

For the next six months, Sev had been helping Narville and their men in avoiding the Helghast, and trying to reestablished communication with Vekta. After establishing communication with ISA command in which they learned a ceasefire has been declared, their transmission was intercepted by Helghast soldiers under Jorhan Stahl and Sev was captured. Fortunately, Sev was rescued by Rico and his "Raiders". Reunited with Rico, Sev and the Raiders went to rescue Narville and the other prisoners at Stahl Arms Deep South, where he and Rico infiltrated the facility by disguising themselves in Helghast uniforms. After rescuing the prisoners, Sev and the others learned about Stahl's plans for his invasion of Earth by scorching the UCN capital planet with irradiated Petrusite weaponry.

Sev helped the ISA remnants in their escape from Helghan and to warn the ISA of the attack by traveling to the space elevator and hijacking a ship. But they came under attack by a Helghast assault mech, a MAWLR. Though Sev and the others managed to destroy it, many ISA soldiers were killed and leaving only sixty soldiers remaining. When Narville expressed the futility of their escape, Sev gave an inspirational speech to everyone not to give up and to continue in their escape.

The ISA soon succeed in accessing the elevator and taking a ship. Sev along with Rico and Jammer hijacked Striker Fighters and attacked Stahl's flagship, the Khage, from warping to Earth. Sev destroyed the Khage's warp coil and causing the flagship to drop into Helghan's surface before launching a nuclear warhead at the vessel, which inadvertently released its Petrusite arsenal on Helghan, violently irradiating the planet.

Despite stopping Stahl's plan to destroy Earth, Sev was left horrified of the destruction brought to Helghan and commenting on how many people were killed as a result of their actions. Sev and his comrades then began their journey home to Vekta.

Post-War[]

SF Newspaper 07

Rico and Sev are labeled as "war criminals" by the Helghast.

Shortly after the end of the war, Sev along with Rico were acknowledged by the surviving Helghast for their roles in causing the Terracide in which they were deemed as wanted war criminals. As a result, he and Rico went into hiding while the ISA claimed them as "missing in action" and the Vektan government denying information of their whereabouts.[3]

Helghan is ours, and we will die before we'll let it fall to plunderers. That is why your leaders dare not make a martyr of me. Your fleet burned, your friends butchered...

Rico: "I ain't leaving. This war isn't even half finished. What is this bullshit?!!"
Narville: "Oh, no. This is NOT how this is going to go down. You insubordinate son of a bitch. I should just fast-track that court-martial and have both of you shot. Now, you shut your trap and you listen to me. Is that understood? Is that understood?!"
Rico: "Yes, sir..."
Narville: "Sergeant Velasquez! Are you too stupid to follow a direct order to shut the fuck up?"
Sev: "Captain."
Narville: "Okay. Listen up. Intel has an advanced Helghast cruiser fleet zeroing in on our position. The General wants us en route before they show their faces. The best chance we have is to cut through the Visari district and cross the Corinth river. From there it's due East to the extraction point, which is a crater the size of Kansas somewhere underneath that mushroom cloud. We've got one shot at this. So we're doing this strictly by the numbers."

Narville: "The damn convoy's scattered all down the river. We're pushing through so we can secure the crater for the evac."
Sev: "That's not such a good idea. The thinner we spread ourselves out, the easier it'll be for the Helghast to pick us off."
Rico: "Yeah, good point. Sir, with all due respect. I'd like to suggest..."
(Rico gets cut off by Narville)
Narville: "I think I made it VERY clear that I don't want to hear a SINGLE WORD out of your mouth. Sev, take Velasquez and his mouth out of my face. I need the two of you on point. We're going to use the EXO to clear the route."

Narville: "Pray it's long enough... It's gonna be open season on our cruisers if we don't get there in time."
Sev: "Sir, the rest of the convoy's scattered all over town."
Narville: "I'm fully aware of the location of my troops, sergeant, but we can't afford any more hold-ups. Sevchenko, we need a route to that crater now, or none of us are leaving. You've got the HAMRs. When you see Helghast armor, you punch right into it. We'll ram us a route back home. As long as everyone follows orders, we'll be fine. Let's move like we mean it!

Narville: "Sergeant, please don't make me repeat myself. It's beyond god damn necessary that I have that uplink."

Narville: "What are you talking about?"
UCA General: "The war is over, Captain. You and your men will have to surrender to the Helghast forces so we can negotiate your release as prisoners of war."

Stahl: "Show time!"
Helghast: "We go live in 3, 2..."
Stahl: "Good Day my fellow Helghans. I am Jorhan Stahl. This is something of a rarity for me because speeches are not my forte. But honesty is. I believe what I have to say today you will find very refreshing. My father and Visari, both great leaders. They built this country from nothing. Using sharp minds committed to our future. Together they built a nation. Visari gave us purpose and hope. My father's factory gave us the most powerful army... ...the universe has ever known! But our army has failed us! They have allowed themselves to grow fat, lazy and careless. But that... changes today. A time has come for some new fucking management. And I know what this nation needs. And I will cut out this disease of compliance and subjugation. So to honor Visari, tomorrow we launch the greatest military campaign in our history. And to celebrate that I will give you justice... revenge... and the death of his killers!"

(Sev gets cut off by Narville)
Narville: "Sevchenko, this is not the time or the place."
Rico: "Wait a second. Our white what?"
Sev: "Vekta capitulated last night."
Narville: "The General ordered the immediate surrender of all ISA forces."
Rico: "Surrender?? I gess you were just going to follow those orders?"
Narville: "If it meant saving the lives of my men and getting them home... Yes, Sergeant, I would have."
Sev: "Respectfully, Sir. But depending on their plans we might not have a home to go back to. I just need a couple of minutes."

Sev: "That's a warp launch."
Rico: "A forward scout ship. That means the rest of the fleet launches within the hour. Sev, the invasion's started."

Rico: "Narville, that doesn't make sense. We need to--"
Narville: "Get me a secure line soldier. (On the secure line) Sergeant, don't you ever question me on an open channel again."
Rico: "You want to listen to what I have to say before you say no?"
Narville: "Velasquez, apart from being ill-conceived and poorly executed, your plans cost more lives than they save."
Rico: "MY plans cost lives? How many people did you -- Look, all I'm saying is we need to scout ahead. Okay?"
Narville: "You have your orders sergeant, this is not a discussion."
Rico: "Motherfucker!"
Sev: "Just let it go, man. Just try and do what he's asking?"

Sev: "Sir! There's no time! Forget about trying to get us home. We gotta find a way to stop the fleet from launching."
Narville: "This is not the time to question orders, Sergeant."
Rico: "What the fuck are you doing?! We're outta time here and you want to fall back and regroup? So we can try again later when the Helghast invasion is over?"
Narville: "My priority is the lives of my men. Now get back in position!"
Rico: "Or what? Order the attack, you fuckin' coward!"
Sev: "Hey! HEY! Both of you, just back off. There are more important things than our men. We can not let the Helghast get to Earth with whatever Stahl's been building in those labs."
Narville: "If we go out there we can kiss our asses goodbye. We need to think. There has to be another way."
Sev: "Fine. Run. I'm gonna out-flank it."
Rico: "On foot?! That's even worse than his idea!"
Sev: "You know what? You can either help me or get the hell out of my way."
Narville: "Sevchenko, stand down. This gung-ho crap is gonna get us all killed."

Rico: "Look. If we're going down. Let's take as many of these bastards as we can. I want it to mean something."
Jammer: "They gotta have communications room up in that station, right?"
Narville: "What? Warn Earth?"
Rico: "Is that all we can do?"
Narville: "You did your best son. We all did. All right, people. Fall in."
Sev: "No, no. That's bullshit! Do you realize the odds against us still being here? Right here, right now? None of us should be alive. And that means something. Now listen up! We've all seen what the Helghast do to their prisoners. And if we can save even one person from that... ...but if I'm going down, I want to make sure these bastards remember my fucking name."
Rico: "And THAT is why you don't fuck with the ISA!"
Narville: "Has a way with words, doesn't he?"
Sev: "Which elevator will start you closest to the communication center?"
Jammer: "That one."
Sev: "Get the warning out. We'll take the other one. Find a way to delay the launch."

Rico: "Jammer, forget the communications room. We need access to those strike ships."
Jammer: "Way ahead of you, boss."
Narville: "Alright troops. This is our chance. We regroup at Pier 2 and take command of the strike ships... ...it's the only way we can prevent Stahl's ships from reaching Earth. Let's head out! This is it boys."

Miscellaneous[]

Trivia[]

  • His name implies that he is of Eastern Slavic descent.
  • His ISA Service Number is 021-332-3390-99
  • Sev shows skills in computer technology when he fixes the communications in the Kaznan Jungle and when he uses the computer in Stahl's facility.
  • For some reason in Killzone 2, when in the first person point of view, Sev seems to be shorter than any other character in the game. This is likely due to the fact that the camera places itself below the character's head.
  • RicoHooper and Sev seem to understand the Helghan alphabet. As elite special forces, it is likely they studied the language before taking part in the invasion of Helghan. Their knowledge was likely bolstered during the six months they spent surviving on the planet following the ISA's failed evacuation.
  • Sev is referred to as Corporal in Killzone 3. However, when Sev's rank is mentioned throughout the rest of the game it is always Sergeant; this may be because once they were stranded on Helghan, Narville had to reconsider the demotion due to the lack of high-ranking officers and that brought about the vital need to maintain a chain of command. It may, however, also be because "Sergeant" is a shortened name for Sergeant First Class, as evidenced by Sev generally being referred to as "Sergeant" throughout Killzone 2.
  • Sev has a younger sister named Amy living on Vekta, appearing in the novel, Killzone: Ascendancy.
  • On January 28, 2010, the multiplayer "PlayStation Heroes Skin Pack" was released for Uncharted 2, containing respective heroes and villains from several PS3 game titles, such as Sev and the Helghan Assault Infantry
  • In Killzone Shadow Fall, in multiplayer, there is a player icon of Tomas Sevchenko, entitling him as "The Hero".
