Onyx (wolf)

Onyx (died 824) was a wolf companion to the Persian mercenary Azadeh.
==Biography==
===Early life===
During Azadeh's childhood, Onyx was born as the runt of the litter. However, Azadeh chose Onyx as she saw more in her than just size. Training with Azadeh, Onyx learned how to respond well to whistled commands and protected her owner with fervent loyalty.Assassin's Creed: Mirage – Daughter of No One – Chapter Seventeen - Karachi, 824
===Tracking down the Martyrs===
Upon Azadeh's father becoming ill, a hooded stranger appeared to Azadeh and offered a cure in exchange for her and Onyx's services on a task. Azadeh accepted and thus she and Onyx traveled to Fustat to meet him and her other fellow mercenaries for his mission. When all members arrived, they all were tasked to track a cult called the Martyrs of Agaunum and recover a case they guarded. At the meeting, she and Azadeh became acquainted with a young Roshan.Assassin's Creed: Mirage – Daughter of No One – Chapter Seven - Fustat, 824
While on the road to track the Martyrs, Azadeh and Onyx took upon them to hunt for hares for the group while others planned how to ambush the Martyrs. Deciding to set a bomb on top of them, the group managed to have cornered the Martyrs. Azadeh and Onyx guarded Wei, a Chinese ex-rebel and bombmaker, who created a bomb to drop on the Martyrs. Meanwhile, the rest awaited at the bottom to fight while Francis, a self-proclaimed Christian prophet, was to give the signal. However, it all went wrong when Francis signaled too early. 
Onyx and Azadeh together fought the Martyrs and their guards, but the mission was ultimately failed, as the Martyrs escaped while the group lost their Welsh member Mared due to her pirate lover Dias having used her as a human shield. Despite tensions arising, they regrouped and planned to follow the Martyrs by crossing the Red Sea.Assassin's Creed: Mirage – Daughter of No One – Chapter Nine - Sinai Border, 824
Traveling through Sinai, Azadeh instructed Onyx to go around the mountain while the group would climb it and descend. Onyx left, and though her journey was tiring, she made it around the mountain. On the other side, she found what was left of Wei, who had fallen to his death. Azadeh and Roshan soon found her and she rejoined at Azadeh's side. The whole group continued to a dock, where they found, stole, and boarded a to sail towards Karachi.Assassin's Creed: Mirage – Daughter of No One – Chapter Eleven - Sinai Peninsula, 824 
During their voyage, Onyx and Azadeh stood guard after rescuing both Roshan and the n warrior Nafanua, who was pushed overboard earlier. While Onyx guarded a sleeping Nafanua, Azadeh stayed with Roshan. Upon their arrival, they all stayed in an inn to recuperate except Roshan, who left to find maps of the mountains and Karachi for their journey.Assassin's Creed: Mirage – Daughter of No One – Chapter Thirteen - Red Sea, 824 However, when Azadeh noticed Roshan and the twin brothers Geir and Gud gone for too long, both she and Onyx left to search for them.Assassin's Creed: Mirage – Daughter of No One – Chapter Fifteen - Karachi, 824 Fortunately, through Onyx tracking Roshan's scent, they found her and she detailed the twins' betrayal and subsequent deaths. After going back to the city's library and confirming the Martyrs' background and symbol, they rushed back to the inn to inform the rest of their group.
Back at the inn, the group readied themselves to travel the mountains and followed Onyx, who tracked the Martyrs ahead. However, they all stopped when Onyx signaled to Azadeh that they were not alone. Instantly, a barrage of arrows were loosed upon them while Nafanua fell over her horse. While the mercenaries hid, Azadeh ordered Onyx to seek shelter. In a shadowed area, Onyx found one of their attackers and mauled him to death. With another in her mouth, Onyx was soon aided by Roshan, Azadeh, and Dias, who fought and killed the remaining attackers. After the ambush, Onyx noticed Nafanua with an arrow in her back and whimpered besides her.
When Roshan investigated Nafanua's corpse, she determined it was poison that killed her and saw Azadeh holding Nafanua's water skin. When Roshan warned that the water was poisoned, Azadeh dropped it and commanded Onyx not to drink. Realizing Francis was alone and one of the last members, Roshan interrogated him. Instantly, Francis shouted his support for the Martyrs before fleeing from them. With Onyx's following Francis' scent, they continued on their trail to Baghdad.
====Death====
The trio tracked Francis and saw him enter the House of Wisdom. Infiltrating the meeting between the Martyrs and their customer, the mercenaries waited until the customer opened the case, only to hiss at the Martyrs. With Azadeh's whistle, the Martyrs and the customer were confused while Onyx attacked and instantly killed Francis. Immediately, Dias and Roshan managed to kill two Martyrs with head blows. After an intense fight, both Azadeh and Roshan were left disarmed and defenseless; Onyx leapt at Roshan's attacker, only to be heavily wounded herself. Distraught, Azadeh stabbed and killed the Martyr before holding Onyx. Whimpering, Onyx died in her owner's arms while Azadeh cried unconsolably.Assassin's Creed: Mirage – Daughter of No One – Chapter Nineteen - Baghdad, 824
