As punishment for "a silly prank gone wrong", the [[Superior]]s locked "Koschei" and the Doctor in the bathroom of a bar on an underlevel of [[the Tower]]. After an argument, the Doctor escaped, leaving "Koschei" behind. The Tower eventually came under the control of [[the Healer]], leader of the [[Cwejen]] [[Uprising]], though he never discovered "Koschei". When [[Chris Cwej]] and [[Frey (Rebel Rebel)|Frey]] became lost in the underlevels, they encountered "Koschei". Frey was dying because, as an [[Ephem]], she needed regular infusions of Superior [[biodata]] to survive. "Koschei" offered to give her his own biodata and lead them out of the dungeon, on the condition that Cwej promise to listen to "Koschei's" words on a future date. Sensing that Cwej was "a friend of [his] friend", "Koschei" hypnotised him. Later, when Cwej was using the [[Tree of Life (Rebel Rebel)|Tree of Life]] to undo the Uprising, "Koschei" spoke through Frey telepathically, distracting Cwej; as a result, only half the events of the Uprising were undone, resulting in an unstable new status quo.

([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums]]'') While imprisoned beneath [[the Tower]], "Koschei" had a long dark beard and "piercing" green eyes. He gave off an aura of menace to all who came near him, and, in his emaciated state, came across as a "creature" more than a man. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rebel Rebel (short story)|Rebel Rebel]]'') | ||
