## Appearances

### The New Albion Radio Hour

In The New Albion Radio Hour, the Blood Red Dogs were fighting against the rebel forces at The Battle of Cryers Boulevard. For this battle, they were debuting a new weapon, a MCG to transmit orders to the men, promising to revolutionize their tactics. However, Jacqueline O'Brien sabotaged their equipment, transmitting Thomas' hypnotic Voodoopunk chanting into their helmets. Everyone who heard the song fell under its spell until Constance O'Brien sang a second song to dispel the first.

After regaining their senses, the Blood Red Dogs go to fire on Constance, but John O'Brien steps in to protect his daughter. John and Jackie died, but the cyborg super solider took down the city forces with him. There were some who walked away from the battle, dropping their guns after Constance sang her song.

### The New Albion Guide to Analogue Consciousness

In The New Albion Guide to Analogue Consciousness, the Blood Red Dogs, led by Yasser Latef, accompanied the Voodoopunk pilgrims to Elysium. This proved to be key to their survival, as the environment proved to be incredibly hostile, and they were constantly under attack by deadly otherwordly creatures. The Blood Red Dogs protected and trained the pilgrims in combat, and after two decades all of the survivors were battle worn soldiers.

Rachael and theMascot 3000 arrived twenty years later and offered a way to escape: choice to either reincarnate into a different life, or to become an AI. Of the thousands that arrived in Elysium, a hundred remained, and thirty of the survivors chose to become AIs.

### The Broken Cyborg

In The Broken Cyborg, after receiving a warning from the dwarves The Mayor sends a command to "unleash the dogs" on the Shanty Town. Leading the Operation Eradication was Basheq Latef, who was on a mission to take down Xander, and the rest of the park with them. Thirty members of the shanty town escaped, including Jane and Xander, but Rebecca was shot down and killed. The Blood Red Dogs took control over the park.

The refugees later returned to reclaim their home, led by Jane. They had bio-modifications and were accompanied by the Albinos and theFairies. The Blood Red Dogs were defeated, and the independent colony of Xandoria was established.

This version of the Blood Red Dogs theme featured a different rhythm than the previous two appearances of the chorus.

### The Lost Fairy

In The Lost Fairy, the Blood Red Dogs, joined by the Xandorian forces and the cyber-schistocerca, fought to defend New Albion against the invading Cascadian Hellhounds, who were on a mission to annihilate all of the Fairies.

This version of the Blood Red Dogs theme was done in a heavy metal style.

## Trivia

* The name of the commanders originally came from a fan. After three beers, Paul had an idea and he posed a question on his blog: "What does MCG stand for?" with the promise that whoever correctly answered first would have an Atompunk character named after them. Yasser Latef correctly answered that the MCG is a MacGuffin.
* In Bio6 突袭, Basheq Latef misgenders Xander, calling them by male pronouns instead of nonbinary ones. This was intentionally written by Paul, as The Mayor and Basheq were basing their knowledge off of outdated college records, and the Blood Red Dogs weren't terribly concerned by addressing Xander by the correct pronouns while attempting to kill them.
* Yasser Latef can play the piano a bit, mostly bar room sing alongs, but he's decent. But he hasn't had a chance in years
* There is official merchandise featuring a Blood Red Dogs logo, which can be purchased on Hoodies, Shirts Phone Case, and Posters.
