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 (Installation 04)|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 (Installation 04)|second squad]] in a recon mission on a believed [[Covenant]] base that included [[Private (UNSC)|Privates]] [[Riley]], [[Manuel Mendoza]], [[Kappus]], [[Bisenti]], [[Private First Class]] [[Wallace A.

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 [[Human]]s attacked by the Flood, and desperately raised Johnson and [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] over radio, though incoherently. <ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 173''</ref>

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.

During the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' cutscene in which he contacted Johnson and Keyes, Lovik was voiced by [[Bungie]] employee [[Chris Carney]].{{Ref/Site|URL=http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/voices.html|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=Voice Acting|D=19|M=07|Y=2022}}

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 ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]''’s [[fusion reactor]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''</ref>

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''.
