Pack
The Pack is a team of mercenaries assembled by Xanatos, consisting of Fox (their original leader), Wolf, Jackal, Hyena, and Dingo.
History
They became the stars of their own television series, The Pack, where they were portrayed as continually doing battle with "Evil Ninjas". They quickly became heroes to the public, and also to the Trio when they awakened in New York. Even Hudson enjoyed the program.
The Pack members were bored with this life, however, feeling that they had plenty of fame and fortune, but were not seeing enough action. When they learned about the gargoyles (through Xanatos, who wanted to test the Pack's capabilities), they tricked Lexington into leading Goliath into a trap, so that they could hunt him for the sake of some excitement.
Goliath and Lexington managed to gain the upper hand over the Pack in the end, however, particularly when Fox made the mistake of taking a swimsuit model hostage in the middle of the culminating battle with the two gargoyles. She and Wolf were quickly arrested and sent to prison on Rikers Island. Jackal and Hyena soon following them after their unsuccessful attempt on Xanatos' life. ("The Thrill of the Hunt", "Her Brother's Keeper")
Dingo left for Europe, but returned to join Coyote 1.0 in breaking the Pack out of prison (except for Fox, who used the break-out to obtain an early parole, and in fact broke off her relations with the Pack thereafter). Under Coyote's leadership, the Pack made a fresh attack upon the gargoyles, culminating in a battle aboard the oil tanker Otoshiana Maru, but was again defeated. Having by now completely destroyed its original hero-image, the Pack turned to bank-robbing and other criminal activities, until Xanatos took charge of them again (through Coyote 2.0). This time, he upgraded the Pack; Wolf was mutated into a sort of werewolf, Jackal and Hyena were cybernetized, and Dingo given a high-tech suit of battle armor. The Pack battled the gargoyles a third time, was again defeated, and had to flee New York. ("Leader of the Pack", "Upgrade")
Dingo broke off further relations with the Pack afterwards, disgusted by his former team-mates' increasing savagery, but Xanatos supplied Jackal, Hyena, and Wolf with a third Coyote robot and sent them to Egypt to assist the Emir in summoning Anubis. After this incident (and the Pack's fourth clash with Goliath) ended, however, its members split up, going separate ways, and have not worked as a team since. ("Grief")
Later, Wolf breaks Jackal and Hyena out of prison and they are causing trouble in Times Square. However, they are about to have a most unpleasant surprise as the Manhattan Clan, more then doubled its size with the addition of Coldstone, Coldfire and all of Brooklyn's timedancing family, sets out to confront them. "Phoenix")
At some point in the future, however, an Ultra-Pack will be formed by Coyote 6.0, led by Coyote 7.0, and including Jackal, Hyena, Wolf, and a new member whose identity is as yet uncertain. More information about it, however, is unknown at present.
