Hyena

**Hyena** is a Cyborg Hyena Faunus and a member of The Pack. Who is known to be the Pack's most bloodthirsty member. She and her brother Jackal are dangerous wanted criminals and mercenaries.

## Personality

Hyena shares Jackal's bloodlust and twisted sense of humor; she is particularly notorious for her cackling laugh. Unlike her brother, she seems unable to control or hide her impulses, making her something of a psychopath. She also has a constant crush on the various Coyote robots that have worked alongside the Pack, something which disturbs even Jackal.

## Biography

Hyena was born in 1968, slightly after her twin brother Jackal .

   Along with Jackal, Hyena was a mercenary before being recruited by Fox . As members of the Pack, Jackal and Hyena eagerly hunted the gargoyles when they first appeared in Empire City . They targeted Goliath and Lexington

 when the latter wanted to make a friendly connection with the Pack members. After the Pack was defeated, Jackal and Hyena managed to escape arrest at the end of that encounter, but their packmates Fox and Wolf were caught and put into prison.

Afterwards Hyena and Jackal continued to work for Fox, with Xanatos behind the scenes, receiving orders even though Fox was incarcerated. On her instructions, Hyena and Jackal went to the Diamond Exchange to steal the Coyote Diamond. Xanatos purchased it first, and they tried to steal it from him, but were foiled in part by the timely arrival of Elisa and Derek Maza (who were lured there by Xanatos). Fox next ordered them to assassinate
 Xanatos for interfering, which they attempted to do but was foiled once more, this time by the gargoyles. (In fact, Fox had been using them
 without their knowing it as part of a scheme to lure Derek into Xanatos' service; Jackal and Hyena were intended to fail all along). This time, they were captured and sent to prison on Rikers Island , alongside Fox and Wolf .

   Hyena, Jackal, and Wolf were broken out afterward by Dingo and Coyote 1.0 , and proceeded to battle the gargoyles again, meeting with defeat once more. Desirous of being able to finally wreak vengeance upon the clan, Hyena voluntarily became a cyborg (as did Jackal), becoming outfitted with mechanical parts, but even this was not enough to defeat the clan. After the Pack's third defeat at the gargoyles' hands, Hyena fled from Empire City to Egypt alongside Jackal and Wolf, with some help from Xanatos. There she and her packmates encountered Goliath and his companions from the Avalon World Tour, and she was also temporarily transformed into a baby by Jackal when he became an avatar for Anubis.

Afterwards, Jackal and Hyena parted ways with the rest of the Pack, and eventually came to Guatemala, where they were employed by Preston Vogel (who was managing Cyberbiotics at the time) to destroy the Mayan gargoyles. Jackal sent Hyena to the American Museum of Natural History in Empire City to destroy the Mayan Sun Amulet , rendering the Mayan gargoyles helpless during the daytime. Fortunately, before she could destroy it, Lexington and Broadway arrived to defeat her, and afterwards arranged for her to be captured by the police.

## Powers and Abilities

Originally, Hyena's skills were simply hand-to-hand combat, thievery, and her favored weapons were gloves with razor sharp claws. She and her brother later took up an offer made by the robot Coyote to be enhanced. In their case, they chose to be cybernetically augmented into cyborgs.

Her cybernetic body gives Hyena a myriad of abilities, all designed to make her deadly, and it is implied she and her brother periodically upgrade themselves. Hyena can extend her limbs, fire her claws and reload them, she has a built-in jetpack, at least one of her arms is outfitted with a laser-cannon, her forefinger can extend and unleash painful blasts of electricity, she has a retractable receiver in her ear she can use to eavesdrop on conversations, and she once displayed the ability to turn into a ball form.
