Yellowjacket Wolf

*For his previous counterpart, see Gray Wolf.*

## Phantom Wolf

**Phantom Wolf** (formerly Yellowjacket Wolf) is a former fugitive and infamous PROJECT soldier. As he defected from S.O.L.A.C.E to align himself with the Corporate Renegades, he carried the grand ultimatum to finally enact their vengeance upon the Legionnaires, intending to destroy them and rewrite history in the new era.

He sets his sights on Fiona Vance after multiple, and failed assassinations. Perhaps one day, he will get his chance to kill her and avenge his master. Despite his failure to kill her to avenge INTERCEPTOR-409 at the costof his life, Phantom Wolf's legacy has effectively lived on due to LORD ANNIHILATOR himself.

## Biography

### Antecedent Background

After a failed attempt to kill JINX-362, he visited Archibald Robotics in an effort to save himself from death. As the corporation itself is loyal with the megacorporation, he was easily transformed into a cyborg by his request. As he suffered the loss of his left arm and right leg, it was replaced with bionic limbs, enhanced with servo motors that allows him to run at superhuman speeds, after demonstrating its potential. He later made S.O.L.A.C.E troops far more deadly as he singlehandedly changed their basic training with realistic, military versions and improved tactics. SCODOK obviously was impressed by his actions.

### New Generation of Heroes

#### Prelude: Massacre In Valenthia

He has planned something after seeing ANNIHILATOR's hidden factory on Sublevel 19A, which is to unleash a massacre in Valenthia. Knowing that Mount Chronos has a secret hangar with a production facility, he crept across the nation undetected. Though he was nearly caught by Scylla after his arm was sliced when the latter flung a scythe at him, he fled and immediately entered the plant. He promptly activates a console to send the mechs online and create a bloodbath after seeing fifteen copies of OBELISK, the most of which are functioning while the others are under repair or being constructed.

Knowing Valenthia's closed borders to the outside world, the mechas that caused a massacre in the prestigious mountains have only gained minimal attention, prompting Fiona Vance to investigate alongside Spartacus Brightspear. He fled and observed them from a distance. He notably met his master's killer and was ready to take the shot, but someone apparently shot him in the head, and suffered a concussion. It was later known that he was not detected and cloaked himself to avoid capture, until S.O.L.A.C.E troops evacuated him.

#### New Life, New Corporation

Since the start of the year 3026, Yellowjacket Wolf has shown disgust to the newer generations; Growing tired for one obvious reason, the endless rise of heroes. He also managed to acquire knowledge of the NEW/G, which he later discovered that FIONA-384 looks very different, and he learns that she became the leader, right after ASHE-159 has been killed. Agitated, he searched for any survivors in the seemingly destroyed SUPREME headquarters, which he found a wounded Mimeographer. The latter was escorted by S.O.L.A.C.E troops to their headquarters at Queens, High Iron.

Under his watch, he managed to find him and even Frazier Lashley, who looks shockingly unharmed.

### Operation: New Troubles

#### The Convoy

Yellowjacket Wolf has kept the Corporate Renegades safe by allowing them to dig a vast amount of Aether reserves. He then murders fourteen news reporters who happen to be stumble on their mining site. When the coast is clear, he instructs the Renegades to load the cargo into the truck, forming a convoy, and then drives away. He quickly leaves, knowing that nothing appears to be amiss so far. That is until he saw a glimpse of a woman's face setting up an explosive down the road, and he fails to inform the convoy in time, turning it into a catastrophe as the entire supply of Aether gets destroyed by that woman, codenamed Lunar Frost.

Horrified to see the supplies of Aether being destroyed, he attacked the prodigy from the sky, only to get shot by her from the air with her sniper rifle and he plummets down a lake nearby, left there to suffer until S.O.L.A.C.E forces have deployed to Avarshi and managed to pick him up, and gave him medevac. However, he suggests to Salazar Progektö that Obsidian Rush shall deal with her, knowing that she is her equal, and their Renegades, are not really a match for her, despite their numbers and skills.

#### S.O.L.A.C.E Means Business

An infuriated S.O.L.A.C.E later declared war with the NEW/G; as Lunar Frost's effort to destroy their deposits of Aether convoy has forced them to use the Corporate Renegades to find more and more deposits of it, only to discover the largest supply found in Vuraki, the coldest place in Nexonia Prime and a large glacier, since the temperatures are usually 84°C to 94°C by average, the renegades equipped themselves with winter gear to survive the frigid cold as they mine the crystals. Mimeographer asked him if the cause is worth it, he simply suggests that he should stay loyal, all while guarding the Renegades on mining the crystals, and later flew into the Panamoan Republic as SCODOK summoned him for an immediate operation.

He leads a large army of S.O.L.A.C.E as they surround the headquarters of the NEW/G at Vulcanuschetts. Accompanied with troopers, fliers and mechas, he ensures that they have no way out, and they inevitably caused attention from the media, due to the inclusion of Corporate Renegades in the scene, but he ignores it as they now await for SCODOK's order to open fire, simultaneously. However, that went horribly as the same woman has caused them big trouble, humiliating them to a massive degree.

##### A Revelation Unfolds

Yellowjacket Wolf tries to search for Lunar Frost, which he later succeeds, but the latter locks him in place with a cryo grenade, and he is disarmed. His helmet got taken away by Night Breeze, as she showcases her hacking skills, pulling out her laptop and shows their mechas, only for her to press a "non-lethal override" that causes all of their mechas to shut down, and the Fliers are left exposed to harm, with some of them crashing to their deaths as Lunar Frost shoots them, and destroys a few mechas with a rocket launcher. Though he was able to see SCODOK about to kill both young heroes, the leader of S.O.L.A.C.E becomes defeated when the prodigy threw a Shock grenade to his headpiece, heavily injuring him, and forced his own troops to retreat.

He followed suit, disappointed with the loss. Wolf also noticed that Fiona Vance did nothing but to outsmart them by using advanced defences inside the base to prevent any of the ground troopers from breaching their perimeter. As they all lost, they later went back to their base in Na'Raka to re strategise their efforts, knowing that they got interfered by a prodigy when everything is going according to plan.

### Brightblasting Adventure

Yellowjacket Wolf has been extensively training the S.O.L.A.C.E ground troopers, disgusted by their lack of tactical efficiency and relying on blunt, direct assault methods of combating the enemy.

#### Renegades, Now Strike!

Yellowjacket Wolf guarded the Corporate Renegades as they continuously mine large amounts of Aether. After that, he goes outside to monitor their perimeter, all while informing Templar Vanguard regarding the environment for suspicious activity. Later, Vanguard suspects that the NEW/G are marching towards their cave, which he confirms the suspicions by flying over to their position undetected, even dodging a spear thrown by Spartacus Brightspear himself. Afterwards, he flew back to the base, only for NEXTECH Man to knock him out with a punch, and was thrown to the cave as he smashes it, allowing the NEW/G to storm their mining site and start a fight.

As they are losing the fight, he suggests to Vanguard to release the brutes. As expected, they have swarmed the heroes and warriors and are able to force them out of the cave. He then later flies to intercept Lunar Frost, but he only wounds Night Breeze beside her, and Seeker that is within the entire group. However, he ends up leading their forces on foot as his jetpack is shot down by the prodigy. After a while, Mimeographer takes the lead and pilots a WAR MACHINE mech to annihilate the legion of heroes, starting by unleashing its powerful plasma beam, causing their enemies to disperse. He also tried to shoot Fiona Vance, but she deflects the shot and ends up hitting a random Renegade operative, much to his chagrin.

However, He is angered to see the mech destroyed by the NEW/G and is able to witness hundreds of Panamoan soldiers converging into their position, allowing them one decision to avoid capture: Retreat.

### Anti-Corporations

Yellowjacket Wolf has been inactive in a while, which SCODOK have noticed. As a result, what he does instead is to monitor S.O.L.A.C.E's day-to-day operations, as he felt more than dissatisfied with their manufacturing of their mechs, curious to why do their extremely encrypted hardware becomes easily hacked by the heroes.

He later regrets not being on the front lines when Iron Man has interfered.

### Unshakeable Revelation

#### Prelude

Yellowjacket Wolf has carefully considered their tactics and war plan as SCODOK has sneakily fielded a massive force to invade the NEW/G headquarters, so that they could properly set up their superweapon, the CHIMERA. He actually made it first before every ground trooper in their operation. First off, they know that the Armed Forces of the Panamoan Republic is encircling the base to protect the heroes, which is an unpleasant surprise, which the leader remarks that they'll be expecting an intense fight.

Having the desire to crush the heroes, he decides to join S.O.L.A.C.E's final attempt on invading the heroes' headquarters. Wasting no time, he quickly prepared and fielded an endless amount of Buckethead troopers to be deployed into the Panamoan Republic.

#### Invasion

Without any warnings, S.O.L.A.C.E stormed the place and quickly fought the Panamoan military. It was a heavy, brutal and lengthy battle that forced them to fight as hard as possible. To demoralise them, SCODOK suggested that the sound of the superweapon shall be echoed through their machines, he did issue the order and the CHIMERA is now making sounds as it prepares to fire a beam of extremely powerful Aether energy.

As the base was now fully destroyed, Yellowjacket Wolf has left his troops behind, knowing that LORD ANNIHILATOR can be brought back from the same facility he visited many months ago. He flew to the Aryaine Kingdom and snuck to Brimstone, Freya, so that he can enter the ruins of the SUPREME headquarters and access the underground facilities. He then receives a combat suit and renames himself as the **Phantom Wolf**.

#### The Next Warmother

> "The prodigy's redemption will never happen, once our true leader rises again."

##### Welcome back, LORD ANNIHILATOR

Yellowjacket Wolf has managed to slip past the perimeter of the SUPREME headquarters, as he intends to enact their ultimatum once and for all. As he managed to reboot the underground elevator which was hidden by the rubble and are not discovered by authorities, he then uses it to travel to the Sublevels, waiting patiently with a suppressed pistol on his hand. Upon making his way to 19A, he finds a group of Aryan officers and detectives, dumbfounded by the factory that contains copies of ANNIHILATOR's body and his dormant mind stored in a vault.

Yellowjacket Wold kills most of them without hesitation and leaves one wounded, introducing himself as "formerly the Gray Wolf of PROJECT." As the wounded detective realises he is the megacorporation's last survivor, he attempts to send photos of the secret facility via his phone, only for Yellowjacket Wolf to stomp on his hand and kill him, throwing the corpses down the abyss and inspect the factory. He then activates the console, and the bodies from the assembly line appear in front of him, while he manically laughs because he managed to crack open the vault and the tyrant's mind appears to have gone online.

Frazier Lashley later comes to the same facility. Initially, he did not recognise the soldier with the outfit emblazoned with a hexagon logo, until he reveals to him that he in fact, is the Gray Wolf. They both shake hands, and the doctor inquires about the sight in front of him. Yellowjacket Wolf informs him that it is what the PROGRAM artificial intelligence has been doing all the time: Creating the copies of ANNIHILATOR's body. Lashley was amazed and he gave him the chance to use the console. As a result, ANNIHILATOR woke up from his slumber, and they are greatly surprised.

The tyrant stated that he knew about the spare bodies, and thanked both of them as they revived him from a state of stasis. However, he instructs them to leave to prepare for his new body and become LORD ANNIHILATOR, knowing that he knew about the renegades' ultimatum. Both ex-PROJECT men left in satisfaction, while Yellowjacket Wolf saluted before leaving.

##### Onward to Defection

After leaving, the genocidal and idealistic Salazar Progektö has managed to contact him about the Corporate Renegades' grand plan to get rid of S.O.L.A.C.E and use their resources, should they succeed on colonising Avarshi. He admits his true identity to the renegade leader, which Templar Vanguard even suggested him to defect. However, he questions their plan, knowing SCODOK's power. Frazier Lashley then mades it into the facility, admitting that he has implanted a device to kill him.

### New Heroes, Another Ultimatum

> "You do know 409 don't you, Fiona? I know you killed him. When that happened, I took his helmet as a sign of remembrance and lived off the grid until now, telling me that, this is your end, through my blades!"
>
> - Bragdon's last words before fighting Fiona and his death.

#### The Corporate Traitor's Ultimatum

Phantom Wolf now enacts their plan to help the renegades take over Frostvile. To avoid suspicions from SCODOK, he stays by his side to perform his duties as a trooper, all while monitoring the explosive device implanted on his brain. Frazier Lashley then sends an army of renegades at the S.O.L.A.C.E MAXIMA headquarters in the Panamoan Republic, which now detonates. SCODOK was injures to the point of replacing his own brain just to survive, which he groans in their failure, but Frazier notes that his new brain won't be as powerful like he used to.

However, their plans are later foiled by Iron Man himself, forcing him to retreat after being labelled as a war criminal, and flees to Avarshi. He intends to fight Fiona Vance to avenge INTERCEPTOR-409 way back then. As he made it into the Northern lands, he quickly knew of a secondary renegade headquarters, realising that the Inner Haven has been destroyed by the Panamoan military and the tribe of Clemirosans. Salazar invites him inside, without being detected.

He then explains everything about his proposal to solve their predicament and destroy the new era of heroes, by ending the discussion with a picture of: LORD ANNIHILATOR himself. All are definitely impressed by his proposal, to the point of planning all their tactics to take over Frostvile. They noted that Aether can counter Nextech and vice versa. He concludes that the leftover Redstone that he brought would be the way to fight the tribe's main source of power that complements their skills, True Ice.

#### Final War: Revenge

As the rest of the renegades have step out side their headquarters to snipe the inhabitants of Tribe Clemirosans' base, but despite his interest on using a sniper rifle to kill the warriors, what he longs for is simple: killing Fiona Vance. Knowing that his master failed to kill her way back in Bleeding Edge: Ultimatum, he will pick up where he left and ultimately correct it. Before he is able to shoot Madeleine in the head, He, Vanguard and Salazar notices that a large portion of their snipers have been killed, with an ice arrow sticking out of their heads.

This does not bother him that much, re chambers his rifle and takes aim at the Warmother. However, what they saw next was so complicated that even his intellect cannot comprehend. It was Nightfall and Bloodlust altogether. Templar Vanguard was furious, knowing that shooting them would cause the death of his daughter. Unbeknownst to them, Madeleine is in a relationship with Bloodlust and the entire thing was to bait them. Unfortunately, Brienne CRIMSONITE had brought JUDGEMENT upon them and most of them are forced to disperse, leaving their base whilst Salazar Progektö had other plans.

Salazar decided to show the Clemirosans, the Legionnaires and the Panamoan military the true power of his Corporate Renegades. He then remarks that most of the vehicles are stolen through local militaries and the mechas are purely S.O.L.A.C.E in design. Reminiscing his days as PROJECT's soldier, he shoots through as many enemies as he could, not missing a single shot in the process, and he continues to defy the odds with his remarkable sniping skills. This however, does not impede his ability to fight up close when people have attempted to stab him.

Everything was going according to plan, but he chooses not to tell anyone as LORD ANNIHILATOR is apparently online and he knows about him having his own dimension. As they somehow lose their advantage despite their superior numbers, he knew Mimeographer is bad news, but shrugs and keeps his focus on the fighting. Later on, he saw Reaper being defeated by Madeleine herself, earning his chagrin, but he approves when Mimeographer stabbed her after he wins their fight, which the tribe then pulls her out of the danger. He uses the chance to aim and shoot at the tribe, but is halted when a soldier shoots him in the helmet, disorienting him and causing him to prevent the shot.

Phantom Wolf later saw Fiona Vance. He knows what to do, and has brought SHADOW's blades for a good reason.

#### Fiona v Phantom

Fiona is then challenged by him. The Legionnaire's Elite Duelist warns him that he is not on her level of skill, but he shrugs. Phantom Wolf pulls out SHADOW's blades to mark her last day, and admits that she killed INTERCEPTOR-409, the soldier who became his mentor during PROJECT's rule. The Duelist then quickly attacks him as he continues to speak more about his death at *Bleeding Edge: Ultimatum*, before he gets the upper hand and pins her to the ground. He then taunts her due to lacking Cybernetics, something that he points out to be a terrible mistake.

### Death

Fiona was caught off guard by Phantom Wolf using SHADOW's blades, evading every un blockable move, as her Legion uniform has minimal to no armour at all, which puts her at a very severe disadvantage. She only won the fight by finally killing the Phantom Wolf by stabbing him to the head, piercing the visor and his body drops down. As his corpse drops down, he left his eyes open, knowing that despite his death, his ultimatum against the legionnaires would truly work out, since LORD ANNIHILATOR was able to sense his death, all before he perished.

## Legacy

Phantom Wolf's death was the most upsetting factor in the renegades' demise, and it marked the end of Gray Wolf's new life, leaving Salazar Progektö and Templar Vanguard distraught. In exchange, they fought against all odds at any cost. LORD ANNIHILATOR was able to hear this and is attempting to create clones in his honour, as is INTERCEPTOR-409. When his death was uncovered, historians decided to obtain his helmet and display it alongside INTERCEPTOR-409's helmet in the G/NEX Museum, having confirmed that he is the prodigy of the former based on numerous sources that have been verified. Because his corpse indicated that he possessed significant cybernetics, his body was just cremated and his cybernetics are dismantled to avoid being used by the wrong hands.

This alludes to his new, incoming ultimatum just weeks after the entire end of the new war. Amongst all the soldiers of PROJECT, he has survived the longest at 5842 days.

## Personality

> "This has been a long way coming. I saw my superior die, and everyone in the regime of the megacorporation. Now is the time for the heroes to pay their price. And their price, is their own lives!"
>
>

Yellowjacket Wolf, now Phantom Wolf is consumed with guilt, vengeance, and loyalty in the new era. As S.O.L.A.C.E's newest elite soldier, he worked tirelessly to defend their values and serve another corporation. His desire for vengeance stems from the fact that Fiona Vance, formerly known as FIONA-384, killed his master, INTERCEPTOR-409, during their final fight, causing them to lose badly, and his guilt has affected him. As a result, when he became a member of S.O.L.A.C.E, he balanced his loyalty to the corporation with his desire for vengeance in order to remain efficient as he attempts to kill the newest generation of heroes, admitting that they are more slick and difficult to kill than he actually thought.

He was not different about his past life, but what distinguishes Gray Wolf from Yellowjacket Wolf is that he has a strong sense of pride and idealism, owing to the differences between life as a trooper at S.O.L.A.C.E and life as a soldier in PROJECT, particularly the Command Line. Not to mention, he has developed duplicitous behaviour as he used spy skills to survive in the new era of heroes, which both the S.O.L.A.C.E men and renegades despise.

As the time goes by and changing his codename to Phantom Wolf, he knew, his loyalty belonged to PROJECT, allowing himself to earn a place in the Societas Renegare and loosen his loyalty from the corporation. Frazier Lashley was responsible for his secret act of betrayal against S.O.L.A.C.E, keeping the secret of the SUPREME headquarters' underground facility, which concludes that Yellowjacket Wolf has become duplicitous and shifted his allegiance to the renegades, all without the corporation's consent, not even SCODOK was able to learn about it. When LORD ANNIHILATOR became online without a body, he was delighted to see his superior, albeit without his giant body, and saluted in respect. Frazier did the same, knowing that he would end the new era of heroes.

It's a shame that a vengeful soldier can't bring justice to his superior; his skills were tested when he faced Fiona Vance in a "fair" duel. Though this was basically a cheap manoeuvre because he had the upper hand for the whole of the fight until he was fatally stabbed in the eye. This demonstrates that, in the end, Phantom Wolf was a blindly loyal one-man PROJECT soldier who would go to tremendous measures to restore the megacorporation that he had the honour of working with his entire life.

## Abilities

Phantom Wolf's cybernetic augmentation was previously limited to an Optical Implant. He is now a fully enhanced cybernetic soldier, equal to his superior INTERCEPTOR-409, as large portions of the body being replaced with high precision cybernetic limbs, servos, synthetic organs, and even a computerised mind.

As a result, Yellowjacket Wolf is the ultimate soldier, a perfect blend of man and machine. Combined with his innate skills and veteran experience, he is vital on setting up the doom of nevanity, responsible for bringing back an old enemy, known as LORD ANNIHILATOR.

### Cybernetic Enhancements

Phantom Wolf has been grafted with an extensive set of cybernetic enhancements, granting him a superior physiology at the cost of being less nevian than ever before.

* **Synthetic Musculature**: His bodily muscles are replaced by an artificial material known as Oshtekk that far more resistant and durable than nevian muscles. This allowed him greater stamina and the ability to tolerate body stress. Not to mention, his weight has been reduced to a significantly lower mass.

* **Optical Implant**: A replacement to one of his eyes, it serves as a state-of-the-art device that allows him to see in a wider spectrum and identify everything in his surroundings with ease.

* **Bionic Arms**: His formidable KROSUH metallic arms are designed to maximise his strength and versatility. Not to mention, it can conceal blades through its adaptive design.

* **Cybernetic Limbs**: His limbs are the least enhanced, as the replacement was nothing more but a synthetic musculature. This allows his lower body more strength, speed and agility. Not to mention a nearly indefinite stamina for extended periods of sprinting and mobile activities.

* **Robotic Brain**: A computerised brain grants him increased knowledge and higher intellect compared to a natural brain, as well as the capacity to easily capture everything via powerful micro video recorders and file decrypters. Along with his mechanical heart, his entire brain is a network of information that is widely processed and serves as his primary organ.

### Skills

* **Master Marksman**: Phantom Wolf is characterised with a sniper rifle, and he is now on par with INTERCEPTOR-409's expertise on sniping. His marksmanship is extremely impressive, able to shoot moving targets in the head with relative ease and do the same at nearby enemies with close range weaponry. Aside from firearms, he has great aim in using explosives or throwing weapons, which he is known to usually throw explosive charges at the target through the air and land with amazing accuracy.

* **Master Tactician**: He is a naturally adept tactician. As a former hunter, he has honed tracking and tactical skills that allows him to be advantageous in any situation, even if when it goes out of control, and his experience as a soldier furthermore enhanced his expertise. His tracking skills are on par with Lunar Frost. However, his cybernetic enhancements proves to furthermore enhance his own expertise in tactics.

* **Master Combatant**: Phantom Wolf's combat skills have massively improved by tenfold due to his experience in warfare through his earlier days as Bragdon Grey, and the Gray Wolf. Now, his proficiency as a specialised combatant is far more impressive than ever. Due to this, he was able to gain the upper hand against Fiona Vance, only to be defeated when he was stabbed in the eye through his visor.

* **Master Hunter**: He is a ruthless and efficiently skilled hunter with exceptional hunting capabilities or experience. Phantom Wolf's enhanced skillset due to an artificial memory can allow him to easily pursue his foes even if he deliberately lets them go free in an open space, which he typically ends them with a swift bullet to their head, or he can deploy traps in order to get a clean shot from afar or nearby.

## Trivia

### General

* Phantom Wolf is the longest surviving soldier, having lived a total of **5842** days since he served the megacorporation and beyond its downfall.
* As the **Phantom Wolf**, he uses a modified suit of SDF armour to enhance his capabilities and improve his efficiency in combat.
* His cybernetics are not limited to: Arms, legs, organs and brain. In fact, his mind is purely an artificial construct, while his arms and legs are mechanical, that has been enveloped by a synthetic musculature covering to enhance strength and durability.
	+ He clearly used his hidden arm blades in a dismal attempt to kill Fiona Vance.
* SHADOW's blades were recovered by him through the museum mentioned by RUBICORE, and it surprisingly works. It was taken at some point in *Anti-Corporations*.
* He actually disliked his armour when he became S.O.L.A.C.E's Elite Trooper.
* Yellowjacket Wolf is now more akin to Sylas Clement, consumed by revenge as his master was killed by Fiona Vance. As a result, he becomes more ruthless than ever before.
* He personalised his armour to a limited extent, since SCODOK wanted all of their troops to look uniform, he instead wanted to stand out to be recognised.
* His cybernetics are far superior to his predecessor. Yellowjacket Wolf is confirmed to 63.6% stronger, faster, tougher and smarter than INTERCEPTOR-409.
* Obsessed on plotting to kill Fiona Vance. Making him as bloodthirsty as Sylas Clement.
* His death influenced future terrorists and evil warriors.

### Developmental Notes

* This character is a combination of Gray Wolf and INTERCEPTOR-409.
* His recent combat armour is a direct upgrade from his PROJECT issue gear.
* How he betrayed the S.O.L.A.C.E showcases that he is a great manipulator, not just an efficient soldier and killer.
* He is 76.51% cybernetically enhanced. INTERCEPTOR-409 is merely a 75%.
* When he died, his helmet was placed alongside INTERCEPTOR-409's helmet in the G/NEX museum.
* While his efforts to kill Fiona were in vain, he is singlehandedly responsible for unleashing LORD ANNIHILATOR, Frazier was only responsible for activating the Sublevel 19A to its full working capacity.
