Biography: Born in the UK on earth in 2541, son of Lucas and Clarrise Cowart with 5 siblings (Stella Cowart, Terry Cowart, Gabriel Cowart, Viola Cowart, and Santiago Cowart). Has a family history of ‘Creature Sympathy’, involving dangerous entities such as vampires and xenomorphs.
Lief Cowart started his life out as an Assistant, where he was caught in a chemical explosion which cost his left arm and the organic tissue on the pupils of his eyes. Lief Cowart also has a history of heavy drinking, as well as mixing his drinks with Stabilized Nitroglycerin made by corrupt chemists, which caused his liver to die out and be replaced by a cybernetic liver.
During a justified mutiny, Lief had made a deadly poison to kill the Captain and have someone else more experienced take her place. A Clown spiked the Captain’s food, which caused her to swiftly die.
After that event, Lief Cowart took a degree in chemistry, where he graduated top of his class and was considered by his Vox teacher a ‘Humans born with a senses for chemistrys’. Lief Cowart eventually became gung-ho when it came to grenades after an attack from a blob, where he learned how to easily make grenades to burn the blob and its ‘subjects’ alive. After his success, he has been making grenades filled with beneficial and deadly chemicals to give him and his fellow crewmates a fighting chance
Lief Cowart eventually saw the potential behind genetic enhancements and decided to get two jobs in Nanotrasen and become a geneticist, where he figured out a way to utilize chemicals to enhance gene therapy (Not entirely new considering the hundreds of other chem-utilizing geneticists)
Lief Cowart decided to get a quick degree in virology to further his medical prowess and allow him to heal people even when he's not there. One day, he discovered something that changed his research target completely
During a Xenomorph attack, he decided to undergo a surgery to implant a hive node in his brain. There, he realized that the xenomorphs weren't attacking him. He also found out that he could speak Xenomorph and speak to the hivemind.
Ever since then, Lief has been finding ways to make friends with the xenomorphs, oftentimes sending explorers to find Xeno microbes and using the microbes to inject monkeys to make xenomorphs so that he can extract the hive node from the creatures
Later, Lief Cowart would become known for being a war hero on the NSS Cyberiad when he made homemade grenades filled with explosives. He managed to frag a Nukie ship, dealing a massive blow to the Syndicate's assault and granting him the highest honor a man can achieve, 'The Medal of Valor' given to him personally by the Captain of the vessel at the time, Grey Captain 'Cwm'
His science license was recently revoked after he made an army of Giant Spiders that ended up halting production, and as to not get arrested, ordered one to stop a security guard who was trying to arrest him. When he returned, he found the security guard dead, trapped in a web, and was reasonably horrified. He ended up getting arrested for murder, until the charges were reduced to criminal negligence, testifying that he ordered the spider to just stop the security guard rather than kill him, which was later proven in security footage, showing Lief attempting to save the dead guard.
