The Zeverek were created by Mata Nui as one of the species meant to inhabit the Matoran Universe. After colonizing the island of Mevock, the residents formed a monarchy-based community. Not long after the Zeverek established their rule over Mevock, they were brought into a civil war with a neighboring species named the Forgern over who deserved to control the island. However, the Xevthian Empire eventually invaded Mevock, catching the Zeverek unaware, and forcing their remaining forces to retreat to the northernmost parts of Mevock. There, they formed a temporary truce with the Forgern, though even this alliance was unable to prevent the conquest of Mevock.
