Conduit (character)

This article concerns the background of the subject in Apex Legends universe. For the subject and content related to it in the main game, see Conduit.

**Rowenna Valentina Coffey Divina**, better known as **Conduit**, is a Legend introduced in  Season 19 of *Apex Legends*. A lifelong fan of the Apex Games, she joined them to support her family at the cost of a reduced, irradiated lifespan.

## Lore

Rowenna Valentina Coffey Divina was born in 2708 on the Fringe World of Nexus, which at the time was ruled under the iron fist of a brutal monarchy. Early into her childhood, Nexus became the site of a bitter conflict as a rebellion rose up to depose the monarchy. During one such battle, a Monarch-class Titan dropped into the battle and defended Divina's community from an army of Pilots and their Ion-class Titans before being cornered. The Pilot of the Monarch detonated their Titan's battery, wiping out the opposing forces and heavily damaging the surrounding area. The site of the blast soon became an irradiated quarantine zone, and the Monarch's sacrifice became a symbol of hope for the people of Nexus.

### For Us, Utang na Loob

After the revolution's end, Nexus rebuilt and thrived. Divina and her siblings became great fans of the Apex Games, often dressing up as the Legends and acting out their battles, dreaming that they could be among their ranks. Divina would often frequent fan forums and chat rooms related to the Games. During one of these mock battles, Divina's oldest sister, Diwa, returned home from work with a grievous injury to her arm. Seeing this injury, as well as the fact that her family was struggling to pay their bills, Divina decided to take matters into her own hands.

Venturing into the quarantine zone, Divina climbed the mountain within until reaching the destroyed chassis of the Monarch. Reclaiming the irradiated wreckage of its battery, she returned home and, with the reluctant help of famed weapons developer Lenlen Lastimosa and the enthusiastic help of friend and allies in her community, used it to create a combat exosuit. Divina entered into various local fighting rings and used her winnings to support her family. However, this came at a grave cost: the battery's radiation was slowly killing Divina.

Eventually, Divina's successes led to her receiving an invitation to the Apex Games, the first resident of Nexus to receive one. Before she left for the Games, she came into conflict with Diwa, who realized the origins of her exosuit and strongly opposed its continued use.

After entering the Apex Games, Divina consulted with Mirage and Gibraltar on how to curate her image as a Legend. She quickly racked up multiple wins, despite pleading from Diwa to stop using the battery.

Soon after entering the Games, Divina quickly became homesick; despite loving her time with the Legends, she began to feel as if they were only being nice, acting friendly as a courtesy rather than true friendship. She called Diwa late one night for reassurance.
