Sycorax was a entity that resided in a volcanic area in the popular game in the Ether called Siege.
It was first mentioned in gen:LOCK issue #1, appearing in the form of a wyvern and flanked by two female bodyguards.
When Julian Chase and Cameron MacCloud were battling monsters in the Ether, one of the creatures told him that he was lost and that he needs to find Sycorax before it's too late.
In issue #5, Sycorax makes its move by summoning Chase, Cammie, and Caliban to a volcano for a final test, before attacking the group.
In issue #6, Chase, Cammie, and Caliban take the fight to Sycorax but they are defeated and Chase is left to fight alone. However, Sycorax did not come to defeat Chase. They wanted to speak with him instead.
In issue #8, both the wyvern and the two women reveal that they were a trio of gen:LOCK compatible pilots before the main team, but kept pushing themselves until they became just data.
At the end of issue #9, and through issue #10, Sycorax, with Chase in its control, hijacks the Shogunate and attacks Osaka .
In the last two chapters of the gen:LOCK comics, General Genji Anno of the Japanese Polity and Commander Carlyle of the Union forces sent to Osaka were both addressed by Yasamin Madrani to work together in taking down the Shogunate and finishing off Sycorax for good while the gen:LOCK team clears the latter.
