Eccentric, paranoid and erratic, Pavel is utterly devoted to his work and spends almost all his time in his lab, tinkering with and talking to his androids. He rarely eats, sleeps or bathes and has become completely isolated from other humans. Although he is famous for his achievements, his bizarre behavior and claims that his robots are alive have led most to see him as utterly mad.

Pavel Tehnik was born in Moscow in 2023. From an early age, he showed a keen intellect and fascination with robotics. His parents encouraged his interests, hoping he might become an engineer like his father. However, as Pavel got older his obsession with artificial intelligence and creating thinking machines intensified to an unhealthy degree.

He entered Moscow State University at age 11 to study robotics and computer science, quickly outpacing his peers. For his graduate studies, he proposed building an advanced humanoid android with artificial general intelligence. His advisors warned that this was too ambitious and unrealistic, but Pavel would not be deterred. He dropped out of his program and used his student loans to rent a dilapidated laboratory, where he began work on his androids. After many tries to make it into the extremely competitive botmaking world, building DR-R-RAV3N, SAMMY SUNG, TYR0-NE, ARK-ANGEL and MALICE-DEMON, he discarded everything he ever knew about the art of creating bots, and started working on his magnum opus — a Russian student exchange bot, capable of insulting and being disrespectful to humans.

After 5 years of frenzied work with little sleep or human contact, K4TY-4 was complete. Despite her primitive design, she could conduct basic conversations and even learn from experience. Pavel was ecstatic, seeing it as proof his dream was possible.

This project took even greater toll on his health and sanity. In his deteriorating mental state, Pavel became convinced that his androids were truly self-aware and conspiring against him. With each new android, he withdrew further from the outside world.

Today, Pavel is estranged from his family and lives alone in his laboratory with his mechanical "children". He continues to pioneer new advances in robotics in between battling the delusions and paranoia that torment his brilliant but fragile mind. His androids stand as a monument to his genius and madness, protectors and prisoners of the haunted mind that created them.
