History[edit]
Early life[edit]
Sorenson was born into privilege, inheriting the noble title of countess. Her father was the owner of Sorenson Mechanics, which built engines for several hovercraft, including the Typhoon, a popular model in Federated Suns.[2]
Solaris VII and Justin Xiang[edit]
Sorenson became disaffected with the idleness of noble life and eventually joined the Federated Suns' Ministry of Information, Intelligence, and Operations, eventually becoming a covert operative under the command of Quintus Allard. In 3026, she was sent to monitor several targets on Solaris VII, including Gray Noton, Justin Allard, and Enrico Lestrade, the Baron von Summer. She fabricated a cover story that she was forced to leave the Federated Suns for Solaris VII after her father disinherited her for fiercely disagreeing with him on a subject.[4] Thanks to careful positioning and field work, Sorenson was able to arrange a chance meeting with Justin Xiang at Baron Lestrade's Stadium box in February, 3027. Taking advantage of her natural charm and Justin's isolation, she quickly garnered his trust and the two became acquaintances. This relationship quickly blossomed into a romantic one, which she used to keep tabs on Xiang's movements and thoughts.
Unfortunately, Sorenson's cover was eventually blown when Gray Noton discovered her routine late-night visits to a coffee shop his network of informants knew to be a front for the MIIO. Before being caught by Gray and Justin, Sorenson was able to transmit a message to the MIIO that Noton had been the pilot to ambush Justin on Kittery, which proved his innocence from the trumped-up charges that had led to his exile.[5] Justin, tipped off by Gray that Sorenson was a spy, ambushed her in an alley. Though she tried to tell Justin that Noton was the one who had almost killed him, Justin refused to let her speak and, outraged, broke her jaw with his bionic arm. Calling her "a Davion whore," Justin told her to relay a message from him to Hanse Davion.
Sorenson returned to New Avalon, and passed the message to her handlers and the Prince. There she underwent surgery to heal her broken jaw and was given a cover assignment to work at the New Avalon Institute of Science in order to monitor suspected ComStar ROM activity there.[6]
New Avalon and Morgan Hasek-Davion[edit]
Hanse Davion, being concerned over loyalty of his nephew Morgan Hasek-Davion, assigned Kym to assess him in October 3027.[7] MIIO arranged for Kym to be "attacked" by men in the Davion Peace Park in Avalon City, which allowed Morgan to gallantly rush to her rescue.[8] Once again using her natural talents, Sorenson and Morgan quickly developed a relationship, becoming close enough that Morgan asks Quintus Allard to do a security check on her to make sure she is clean.[9] She traveled with Morgan to Terra, where she was part of the Davion wedding party as Morgan's guest in August of 3028.[10]
After the outbreak of the Fourth Succession War, she and the rest of the wedding party returned to New Avalon. There she continued to monitor Morgan and developed genuine feelings for him. Through most of 3029 she continued in her role at NAIS as assistant to Doctor Riva Allard with her research into the field of bionic prosthetics.[11] Morgan Hasek-Davion often dropped by the research hospital to visit her and the troops recovering there. He brought gifts of holovideos and quality liquor from the Lyran Commonwealth, which were used by the research staff to throw a party for the wounded, in hopes of lifting their spirits.[12]
In August 3029, Sorenson was summoned by Prince Hanse Davion for an urgent meeting regarding Morgan. After telling Hanse that Morgan was fine, he asked her if he could be trusted with troops or if he would betray him for his father's cause. Kym gave an unflinching report of Morgan's incredibly loyalty to the First Prince and the Federated Suns and concluded that he would never pose a threat. She stated that separatists from the Capellan March had tried to contact him and he had told them to "go to hell." After the death of Duke Michael Hasek, she reported that Count Anton Vitios had pledged to support Morgan against Hanse. However, she had observed that Morgan had categorically denied the offer, replying that the Capellan March would forever remain loyal to Federated Suns. Satisfied with report, Hanse told her that she had done him a service he would never be able to repay, and granted her a favor. Sorenson asked only for the First Prince to keep her spying activities a secret, as she had developed an actual love for Morgan and did not want to have him hurt by the thought that his uncle mistrusted him.[13]
On September 10th, during a late night visit with Doctor Riva Allard at New Avalon Institute of Science, House Liao's Death Commandos attack the lab.[14] She and Riva worked together to try to fend off the Commandos breaking into the lab, who seemed intent on destroying the Helm Memory Core. In the midst of the fighting Kym saved Riva from a grenade blast, and was subsequently wounded and knocked unconscious. Riva took Kym's pistol and managed to kill their attackers and drag Sorenson to safety.
Badly injured, Sorenson was operated on by Dr. Banzai, of mercenary group Team Banzai, who personally oversaw the surgery that saved her life.[15]
Later in Life as Kym Sorenson Hasek-Davion[edit]
After her recovery, she and Morgan Hasek-Davion were married. The two had a son, George Hasek who was born in 3030 on New Avalon. In 3060, she lost Morgan, who was assassinated while he was traveling to Huntress on the WarShip Invisible Truth.
