Infinite

**Infinite** is a character who appears in *The Legend of Fox the Brave*. He is a major antagonist during the *The Phantom War* arc of the series, serving first as a rogue leading a band of mercenaries, then as a top lackey of Dr. Eggman. He is responsible for much of the destruction caused during the war

### Nicknames

"The Masked Clown"(by Sonic); "The Masked One"

## Appearances

### Appears in

The Heart of a Warrior; Tales of the Four Worlds

### Debut

The Tale of a Wolf

As of current events, Infinite's whereabouts are unknown, as he vanished following the Phantom War

## Appearance

Infinite retains his appearance from the series

He is a Mobian jackal with mostly black fur streaked with white in some places. He has a blue right eye and yellow right eye. After taking on his current identity, he took on a one-eyed metal mask, and gained the Phantom Ruby in the middle of his chest

## Personality

Even before gaining the Phantom Ruby, Infinite was an aggressive, mean, and heartless individual. He had no qualms about kidnapping people for a quick bounty, and threatening innocent lives just for his own amusement, the latter a trait he carried into his current identity

After taking on his current identity, Infinite became a much colder person. He gained a more menacing and somewhat formal demeanor, becoming a far more intimidating person as a result. Additionally, after gaining the Phantom Ruby, Infinite's arrogance grew to unbelievable heights

The biggest thing is that as a result of his new power, Infinite became endlessly ruthless, cruel, and sadistic, taking great pleasure in tormenting others; as he let Rex run out of his own sadistic amusement, and deliberately held back from destroying an injured Boulder and terrified Pebble, partly on Eggman's orders, partly because he was satisfied the two had been broken enough

## History

At an unknown point in time, Infinite-then unnamed-was the leader of a band of mercenaries called the Jackal Squad. They frequently targeted small towns to kidnap people in order to ransom them off, or otherwise earn a quick bounty. He also liked to torment the people of the towns his squad targeted, instilling fear in them and setting them on edge

At some point, the squad targeted a pack of nomads called the Wandering Wolves. Even after being soundly defeated by the pack's leader Samson, the rogue leader still carried out his plan, kidnapping Samson's older son Ash, and quickly making off with him

Ash was kept captive until his pack paid ransom(which they couldn't, being loners that lived off the grid), but seeing as this never materialized, the squad hung onto him until he escaped with another kidnapped boy, named Vernon

A while after capturing Ash, the rogue leader led the squad in an attack on Eggman's desert base, later joining Eggman's forces after the doctor offered him a deal. Their first mission after this was to capture an innocent man named Wilson, for reasons that are yet unknown

When Ash and Vernon escaped, the rogue leader was sent out after them, relentlessly hunting them down until they were called back to Mystic Jungle to defend the base there from Shadow. After this attack, the rogue leader was brutally beaten by Shadow. It was this incident that spurred the rogue leader to shed his old identity, becoming Infinite

With his new identity came a new personality. Infinite ran into the captured Wilson, and brutally attacked him, injuring the wolf so badly he later died when the warriors discovered him

Following this, Infinite began attacking various towns and cities, destroying them and displacing the inhabitants. He also accompanied Eggman to the Storming Base and destroyed it, scattering the warriors and sending them fleeing throughout the Worlds

Not long after the warriors scattered, Infinite attacked Red Gate City, killing the Resistance patrol except for one local, a young wolf named Rex(Wilson's younger son), whom he spared for his own sadistic amusement, as he enjoyed Rex's terror

Austin's warriors went down to the city with the hopes of rescuing as many locals as they could, and when Boulder noticed him, he tried to attack the villain, suffering a dislocated shoulder as a result(an injury that would plague him for the rest of his life)

Later on, when the Resistance attempted to reclaim Metropolis, Infinite appeared and completely ruined the attack. Boulder was separated from his team during the attack, and encountered Infinite three separate times. The third time the two fought, Infinite also fought Rex, who had become the main Resistance group's new rookie

Some time after the battle, Infinite led an army of phantom clones against the Resistance army and the warriors, but was ultimately defeated by Boulder. He escaped, and was never seen again

## Abilities/Skills

Prior to taking on his current identity, Infinite was apparently a skilled swordsman, as he was able to hold others off easily. However, he was nowhere near the skill of someone like Shadow the Hedgehog, or a trained warrior like Boulder(who is a four-legged creature with claws to begin with)

After gaining the finalized Phantom Ruby prototype, Infinite gained the power to create clones of anyone of his choosing, as well as various creations that affect anyone within its vicinity. With the Phantom Ruby, he gave himself the power of flight, speed enough to rival Sonic's or a Lycanroc using Accelerock

Infinite was able to create cubes of the Phantom Ruby's energy for various purposes, from creating his illusions, copies, or just to attack others. He could also create harmful lasers or spheres of energy that he mostly used as a form of attack

## Trivia

As of the series overhaul, Infinite has appeared in only one arc, making him the second character to do so, after Mephiles the Dark

* Additionally, he is the second villain to have given Boulder a permanent injury, as Boulder injured his shoulder and never fully recovered from it(partly due to his own impatience, and constantly hurting the same shoulder)
