Hyena
Hyena is a member of the Pack.
History
She and her twin brother, Jackal, were mercenaries who joined that organization, and became noted for their deadly swiftness and accuracy. They and the rest of the Pack eagerly hunted the gargoyles when they first appeared in New York, but were defeated by them. Jackal and Hyena somehow managed to escape arrest, unlike Fox and Wolf, at the end of that encounter, but continued to work for Fox (and, unwittingly, for Xanatos as well). 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’s service; Jackal and Hyena were intended to fail all along). This time, they were captured and sent to prison on Riker’s Island, alongside Fox and Wolf.
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. 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 New York to Egypt, alongside Jackal and Wolf, with some help from Xanatos.
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.
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. She also has a constant crush on the various Coyote robots that have worked alongside the Pack, something which disturbs even Jackal.
