Quickly grasping his father and mother's works, and being renowned for his incredibly intellect, Vyatak had no real interest, instead preferring biology. Vyatak left to study this area of research, against his parents will, but his determination to study alone led to his success. Making many new discoveries and cures to diseases, Vyatak was later assigned to a secret Samilinus weapons department, developing biological weapons of mass murder. However, he sabotaged this unit, and became a rogue. As a rogue, he still worked for the Imperium developing artificial intelligences, despite still being on the run. And until Billig kidnapped him and he joined the Unit, Vyatak remained a rogue, unofficially working for the Imperium.

A very logical thinker, Vyatak is a genious at medical, physical and weapons sciences, and is rarely seen outside his lab, where he studies anything of interest to him.

Vansenk was raised into a life of zealous worship and regard for deities, although he harboured thoughts of betrayal from an early age and possessed no respect for those that worshipped these "gods". Vansenk, at some point, managed to gain a respectable amount of support from fellow Hserelie who also wished to rebel against standard fanatical practice and caused a large incursion aboard the space station, although his rebellion was eventually quelled and he remained as the sole survivor, going into hiding. During that time, Vansenk created offensive nanomachines which are capable of shutting down bodily organs alongside causing negative reactions inside alien anatomies. These nanomachines can also transform Vansenk's standard weapon, a sickle, into a long, sharp scythe. Vansenk's hygiene was lost and he gained an incredibly negative outlook on life, the Universe, other people and himself due to his loss.

Vansenk was said to be unpleasant to be around due to his hygiene and often negative attitude, seeing most concepts and aspects as pointless and ultimately useless to himself and those around him.
