Bio:
 Origin
Savant is a Kherubim from the planet Khera named Kenesha which translate to "The Survivor". Her parents are Zannah and Majestros (although she would not know this for centuries). Her mother Zannah did not want to be a mother nor bar the duties of a priestess like other Kherubims and decided to give her child to her mother Lady Harmony to be passed off as her sister.

Savant was one of many Kherubims who was on a ship that was attacked by their sworn enemies the Daemonites and the battle caused the two ships to crash land on Earth and both species lived there for thousands of years continuing their fight in secret and becoming the things of legends.

While Zealot rebuilt the Kherubim group of female warriors known as the Coda, Kenesha chose to become an archeologist, gaining a great love for the past. During her life she became poisoned by an evil witch named Tapestry and in return for her life Zealot became her servant for a thousands years and made Savant promise that she would kill Zealot if Tapestry twisted Zealot's personality. In her travels Savant has found many unique objects such as the 7 league boots which gives the user super speed as wells as a mystic bag that can hold an infinite amount of objects and she uses this bag to hold the many different things she finds.

WildC.A.T.s
After the super hero team the Wild.C.A.T.s were thought to have perished she, and Majestic formed a new team. The members were Ladytron, Tao, and Grifter's brother Condition Red. Savant would give out missions and targets and Majestic was the squads field leader. However the member Tao was revealed to have caused a Gang War and shortly after the previous team was revealed to have survived and returned, both teams fought Tao and although he bested many of them with his mind, Majestic killed him and he and Savant danced on his grave.

Savant Garde
Shortly after both teams confronted Crusade, Savant and Majestic left the group after his defeat. The two went on to form the Savant Garde. The group was on the hunt for an ancient Mask and during their travels they found that others wanted it as well. Among them was the evil witch Tapestry. The Mask took Savant to another reality that had Tapestry as its ruler and a version of Cybernary attempting to overthrow her. Soon the group was able to dethrone Tapestry and returned to their rightful dimension and Savant became a reserve Wild.C.A.T.s member.

Majestic
Later a Kherubim named Javen had attacked Earth and kidnapped Savant wanting to get her fathers pure Kherubim genes, but was forced to settle for hers. Majestic, Spartan and Helspont teamed together to stop Javen. During the battle Javen almost killed Majestic, but Savant saved him. After Javen's defeat Majesitc had Zealot reveal their relationship to Savant before he went off to defeat Imperator. (the events that transpired during this series were revealed to be part of a time loop which leaves it's place in continuity in question).

Wildcats: Nemesis
Savant was one of the members of the Wildcats who battled Nemesis and discovered the plan for a rogue group of Kherubims called the Brotherhood of the Sword and the Daemonites to take control of Earth and it's population. She was the one who discovered their location so the team could invade their ship and stop their plan. Savant teleported the group (except Nemesis who was later saved by Majestic) back to safety after their ship was about to be destroyed.

Wildstorm: Revelations
Nemesis came to Savant asking for help after Void had shown her a future where Armageddon had come to the world. Together with Jodi Slayton, they went on an information gathering adventure that took them to many parts of the Wildstorm Universe including The Authority's ship The Carrier, The town of Tranquility, and finally an encounter with the Wildcats. It was during a raid on a Number of the Beast facility that Zealot, believing Savant to be dead, let slip the truth about Savant being her daugther. Savant did not seem happy about the revealtion.

World's End
Savant was held by Majestic against her will in Hawaii amidst Majestic's self-proclaimed utopia called New Khera.


Trivia:
  • Savant was created by Chris Claremont & Jim Lee.

Commentary:
  • "When we created Savant, we didn't want her to be just another Coda, so we decided to make her as obsessed with knowledge and history as Zealot is with combat. Savant is also super-strong, which I suspect might be the real reason Zealot became such a student of the martial arts - she wanted to be able to whup her little sister." - Bill Kaplan (WildStorm Gallery card #45)
