## Blackwing former/deceased agents incidents

### **Kitban's Death**

Kitban was one of the four agents deployed to the mission during the Cuba Incident to assassinate Elena Foxx. After their presence was detected, Kitban was confronted by Mercenaries member Uplink. Uplink shot and knocked down Kitban, and prominently finished off Kitban with a signature last request, telling him that he should "smile more." before promptly shooting Kitban through the bottom of his head, killing him instantly. Kitban's death fueled Blackwing's hatred for the Mercenaries, specifically Uplink.

### **Akande's Death**

Akande was the founder of Blackwing and led the organization for years on end, having three children whom he brainwashed to become criminals like him after their births. Akande, working alongside close friend Cyber, managed to create elemental abilities for himself and his children to use to engage in battle and give themselves advantages. His daughter was given many abilities, but the most prominent being Voodoo and Haunting. His middle child and first son was given abilities to control ice and fire and use them to his advantages in battle, and his youngest son, Portalmaker, was given the abilities to enter and exit the void and create portals for fast travel. After a conflict in which Spellmaker was tasked with babysitting Portalmaker after rumors of a possible assassination attempt on the two children, Portalmaker heavily wounds Spellmaker and escapes. A furious Akande returns home and begins to brutally berate and eventually beat his son, Spellmaker, leaving him on the edge between life and death. His daughter notices the near-murder, and attacks her father, but Akande pushes her to the ground and nearly kills her. Dollmaker channels her powers to Spellmaker, and gives Spellmaker the strength to create an ice sword and effectively murder Akande, which ended in Blackwing's ownership being changed and Portalmaker's permanent expulsion from the organization.

### **Expulsion of Hiphop**

After a deployment in Monte Cristi where Blackwing was tasked with raiding a Mercenaries base, agents Hiphop and Punk were deployed to work together in locating Mercenaries agents and hidden civilians and kill them. Although there were no Mercenaries in the base at the time, a few innocent civilians were found. The two worked together and killed all of the civilians they found, but an argument broke out after Punk taunted Hiphop over something unknown. Hiphop repeatedly beat and shot Punk multiple times, to the point where she was on the brink of death, and dragged her body underneath a grill. After Blackwing backup arrived, they heard Punk coughing blood and immediately blamed Hiphop. Hiphop was attacked by Space and wounded, but managed to escape the base. Hiphop was eventually recruited by the Mercenaries.

### **Expulsion of Portalmaker**

After the event leading to Spellmaker's severe injuries and Akande's death, Portalmaker was effectively expelled on agreement between Spellmaker and Dollmaker. Portalmaker then ended up joining the Syndicate as a means to stay away from his vengeful siblings and the original enemy, as the Syndicate is the only third party option.
