Biography

Academics believe that Cosmo may be the last known member of an ancient race of extinct humans known as the Zyrians. This would explain his suspicious ties with the Syrian Regime of Bashar Al-Assad throughout the 2010s. As of 2022 the most credible model for how "Zyrian" exists is known as the "3 Entities" Theory. According to it, Zyrian always exists as 3 distinct entities...

The first of these entities, the one most often referred to as Zyrian appears to be a man, between the age of 18 and 44. With multiple ties to both the Russian military-industrial complex as well as the Russian Mafia of California and Altis Island, Zyrian was instrumental in The Holy Grind's economic recovery in 2020. He seems to have first made contact with Duke Josh and Tightas in the attic of Krovi Estate in Russia sometime in 2020. Their subsequent alliance undoubtably led to the "I have more guns than you!" incident of early 2020.

Little is known of the second entity, known only as The Rat King, Ratnik or Nick-the-Vatnik-Ratnik-Ratking-of-Tarkov. The Rat King is for many people only an urban legend. Most serious scholars and historians believe it to be a myth collectively made up by the gangs of bandits and scavengers inhabiting the Tarkov region. According to the scavs, The Rat King is nothing to joke about. Often described as a tall rickety figure, never observed in direct sunlight, one may catch a glimpse of the Rat King in the dark corners of their vision... This entity is said to roam any lands where social order has fallen. Reports of this entity are not limited to the Tarkov Oblast: Sightings span from the Finish border all the way to South Sudan. Unconfirmed reports even suggest that it's presence may extend to Albuquerque, The Ukraine and even our planet's Novosphere. This entity is said to exhibit superhuman dishonesty, greed and a complete lack of morality when it comes to acquiring loot.

Lastly, the third entity, simply referred to as Venom-Nick, is just as mysterious as the second one. Venom-Nick appears to be a clone or doppelganger of the original first entity. Discernable features include an eye patch and a multitude of facial scars. Our data bases lack any clear records of this entity. It is believed that this entity holds a grudge against Zyrian. Some speculate that Venom-Nick is the original Zyrian: A widely spread theory argues that Venom-Nick was grieviously wounded during an assassination attempt. Zyrian's consciousness was copied and transfered to a backup clone. Later, Venom-Nick broke out of the cloning lab, seeking revenge on Cosmo for stealing his life. This theory is further supported by the fact that Cosmo regularly uses the username "Zyrian1" instead of "Zyrian"... Do not approach this entity, report it's apparition to the nearest political office immediately after escaping an encounter.

Zyrian and The Grind

In The Holy Grind, Zyrian acts as a catalyst agent, Zyrian often prehemptively strikes out at rival communities. Modern historians believe that it was Zyrian stealing all of empire's bitches that started the conflict. Zyrian is more quiet now, organizing regular expeditions into the zone to retrieve sensitive documents left behind by other stalkers.
