Biography
When the Pillar of Autumn arrived at Threshold and crashed onto Installation 04, Lovik abandoned the ship and landed on Halo with the rest of the jumped crew. He then joined the rest of the survivors at the UNSC makeshift Alpha Base.

Corporal Lovik was a Marine NCO in the UNSC, and had been picked by Staff Sergeant Avery Junior Johnson to lead the second squad in a recon mission on a believed Covenant base that included Privates Riley, Manuel Mendoza, Kappus, Bisenti, Private First Class Wallace A. Jenkins, and Johnson.

Unknown to the group, they were actually heading to a Flood containment facility, where the Covenant had already accidentally released the Flood. Lovik was among the first group of Humans attacked by the Flood, and desperately raised Johnson and Captain Jacob Keyes over radio, though incoherently.

Lovik and his men had then been attacked by a group of Flood, and made it to back to the surface and took refuge in a structure. Based on his transmission to Johnson, it was likely he had been attacked by an Infection Form, and had either torn it off, or another Marine helped him. They were eventually joined by a few escaped survivors of the first squad, including Private Bisenti.

"Sir, thank God you're here! We've been lost out here for hours. After we lost contact with the rest of the mission, we headed for the RV point, and then these... these things! ...they ambushed us! We've gotta get out of here!"

- A frightened and confused Corporal Lovik reports to the Master Chief

When the Chief arrived at their position, Lovik and the remaining members of his squad followed him to a large tower where Carol Rawley was extracting them. Fighting through waves of Flood, it is unknown whether Lovik was turned into a Flood combat form, or was picked up by Echo 419, but his death was confirmed when John-117 destroyed the Pillar of Autumn’s fusion reactors.

Trivia
In Halo: Combat Evolved, Lovik's voice is the same as that of Chips Dubbo. Dubbo's supposed appearance was substituted by Lovik in Halo: The Flood.
