Hyena

Hyena Pre-Upgrade

Hyena Post-Upgrade

Hyena is a member of the Pack, and the twin sister of Jackal. The pair are noted for their deadly swiftness and accuracy, and they are rarely seen apart.

History

As members of the Pack, Jackal and Hyena eagerly hunted the gargoyles when they first appeared in New York, but were defeated by them. Unlike Fox and Wolf, Jackal and Hyena somehow managed to escape arrest at the end of that encounter. ("The Thrill of the Hunt") They continued to work for Fox (and thus, unknowingly, for Xanatos as well) afterwards, receiving orders even though Fox was incarcerated. On her instructions, they went to the Diamond Exchange to steal the Coyote Diamond, and when Xanatos purchased it first, tried to steal it from him, but were foiled, in part by the timely arrival of Elisa and Derek Maza. Fox next ordered them to assassinate Xanatos for interfering, which they attempted to do, but were 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. ("Her Brother's Keeper")

They and Wolf were broken out afterwards by Dingo and Coyote 1.0, and proceeded to battle the gargoyles again, meeting with defeat once more. ("Leader of the Pack") 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. ("Upgrade") After the Pack's third defeat at the gargoyles' hands, Hyena fled from New York to Egypt, alongside Jackal and Wolf, with some help from Xanatos. ("Grief")

Afterwards, Jackal and Hyena parted ways with the rest of the Pack, and eventually came to Guatemala, where they were employed by Preston Vogel to destroy the Mayan gargoyles, their latest recorded adventure to date, Jackal sent Hyena to the American Museum of Natural History in New York to steal and 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. ("The Green")

Hyena will presumably get out of prison at some point in the future, and with Jackal, join the Ultra-Pack, possibly after another (undetailed at present) upgrading.

Characteristics

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.
