Biography
Javik was a male member of the Prothean race who was born in the years after their empire was at war with the Reapers during the previous cycle over 50,000 years ago. By this point, his races capital of the Citadel had long fallen and the fractured remnants were fighting a losing war against the mechanical invaders from darkspace. According to Javik, his first memories was of worlds on fire as his race moulded themselves into a fighting force to fight the Reapers. Within Prothean society, there were many 'Avatars' among their people that were said to embody a single virtue with Javik representing Vengeance. During this time, he was noted to had been among the last of the warriors of the Prothean Empire that were losing the war against their enemy. Eventually, he came to command a strong and loyal crew until they were indoctrinated and turned against him. Eventually, Javik tracked down his crew and slit their throats where he watched them bleed to death to be certain which was when he understood that war was an atrocity committed in the name of survival.
In Prothean society, there were many "avatars" who embodied a virtue for the society. He is one of those avatars, and his virtue is vengeance. Supposedly, Javik was to be the leader of hundreds of thousands of strong warriors to survive the cull via stasis in underground bunkers on Eden Prime. His mission was simple: outlast the invasion in stasis, and once he was awoken, lead the other warriors in a campaign to reclaim the galaxy. Unfortunately, indoctrinated traitors in their ranks fouled that plan - in the end, only he survived, the supervising VI Victory allowing his stasis pod to have priority in power distribution.
Within the stasis pod, he remained there for the next 50,000 years until the year 2186 CE when he was uncovered and opened by Commander Shepard and Liara T'Soni. The pair were investigating the activities of Cerberus on Eden prime. Javik reacted with shock that everything he knew was gone. He agreed to join Shepard in destroying the Reapers, vowing he will not rest until the last Reaper is dead. However, Javik did not hide his surprise that "primitive" races the Protheans once studied were now the dominant galactic power, nor could he provide insight into the Prothean device dubbed Crucible and the final piece called the Catalyst.
