“They pulled back and Kurosiv drowned the invaders in violence, sweeping them back to the breaches, then broke the wards personally,” Andronike said, her voice betraying little of her opinion of that Mighty. Mighty Kurosiv the All-Knowing, the Second General. It rarely bothered with deeper tactics than throwing warriors at the enemy but given the absurd amount of those within its sigil that tended to work regardless.

Kurosiv had found a way to grow fat as a parasite nestled in the heart of the Night, exploiting the system they had built as no one else had before or since. Rumena had allegedly taken it as enough of a threat it’d exterminated its first five sigils, earning the epithet of Tomb-maker in the process, but it was telling that in the end it was not Kurosiv that’d settled in the Outer Rings."

-Catherine Foundling, on Kurosiv.
Kurosiv, the All-Knowing, was the Second General of the Exodus Cabal. They held a Secret allowing them to empower their drow, and then reclaim a portion of their Night when they died, thus earning them the name Kurosiv the Leech. Rumena destroyed their entire sigil repeatedly, each time killing Kurosiv and forcing them to start anew, but Kurosiv survived death using an unknown Secret each time and continued to grow in power. By their sixth battle, Kurosiv was called the All-Knowing because of how many unique secrets they had, and Rumena had to destroy the entire city of Zorwan to defeat them. The collateral damage was great enough that Kurosiv was able to found a cabal against Rumena, forcing them out of the Inner Ring, although Rumena was able to kill them a seventh time before the end of the battle.
Following the weakening of Sve Noc during the Battle of Hainaut, Kurosiv titled themself Loc Ynan and struck a deal with the Dead King in an attempt to achieve godhood. They were killed for the eighth and final time by Ivah, after being stripped of their Night.
