History

Epitaph of Twilight

In the Epitaph of Twilight, Corbenik appears out of the void left in the wake of the Wave.

.hack//Games

Corbenik in his Eye form (Or final form).

After the destruction of Kite's Twilight Bracelet during the final fight against Cubia, Morganna knew that it was the time to attack. She ambushed the .hackers using Corbenik while they were planning their last move in Lia Fail. Without the power of the bracelet Kite, and his party were forced to fight against the Phase in a grueling series of battles. Halfway through the fight Corbenik surrounded himself with an impenetrable shield, but Aura appeared along with Orca and the other coma victims. By combining their powers they were able to weaken the shield enough for Kite to break it.

As the battle continued the server suddenly began to shut down, but it was stabilized through the actions of Junichiro Tokuoka and Mai Minase in the real world. With the help of the rest of the .hackers, Kite was able to slowly wear down Corbenik's defenses. However when it seemed that victory was assure, Corbenik unleashed it's ultime attack Drain Heart, a multi-target Data Drain. Without the protection of the Bracelet Kite could only watch as his allies were defeated one after the other. Angry he rushed at Corbenik in a final desperate attack, only to hit Aura instead as she materialized in front of his blades. Shocked he could only watch as she dissolved into bubbles of light and slammed into Corbenik, destroying the Phase and marking her ascension as the Ultimate AI.

Ovan's Corbenik

End of The World

Several years after its defeat at the hands of Kite, Corbenik's data was retrieved from the system by Jyotaro Amagi's Salvage Plan. Its data was sealed into an Epitaph PC and given to a Chosen One. Unfortunately the first test of the Epitaph PC's was a complete failure. In the confusion following the test Corbenik, still attached to its Epitaph PC, escaped into the system far beyond the reach of CC Corp. It eventually attached to a player named Ovan.

Corbenik 2nd

.hack//G.U. Games

After revealing himself as the true Tri-Edge to Haseo in the Lost Ground Briona Gwydion the Dragonbein Range, Ovan travels to Backtop City Megin Fi. Haseo soon follows him ready to fight. After fighting Haseo in a normal fight, Ovan unleashes Corbenik. In response, Haseo summons Skeith, who begins to fight with Corbenik. Using a combination of both Corbenik and AIDA's power, Ovan proves a difficult opponent, but Haseo eventually succeeds and Data Drains Corbenik; however his Data Drain isn't powerful enough to defeat Corbenik or Ovan permanently, allowing Ovan to return for a rematch later.

This rematch occurs in The Creator's Room, featuring a Corbenik that is almost fully consumed by AIDA. After data draining Corbenik again, Ovan reveals the special power hidden inside of Corbenik's data. The power of "Rebirth". With his defeat by Skeith as the key, Ovan uses Rebirth to reset the entire internet, cleansing it of AIDA's taint. The shock wave created by the Rebirth shatters both Ovan and Haseo's PCs and sends them spiraling into the farthest reaches of the system. It also sets the stage for the appearance of Cubia.
