Biography

Slightly older and more aggressive than his brother-in-arms Stalker, Boar is the muscle of the mercenary duo known as the Boar Brothers. Having been forced to flee their tribe as youths, Boar became his brother's protector, and they soon found a home in the planet's secret underworld. Avoiding Enforcers as well as Bad Bloods quickly became routine, and without Boar's combination of courage and rage, the two would have never reached maturity. Born with a talent for physical combat, Boar developed a strong admiration for the Hunters (Predators) and used their treacherous new surroundings as a training ground for his and Stalker's quest to become Hunters themselves. When they weren't scrounging for food or work, Boar would teach his younger sibling how to fight using anything available. They often sought to join groups of Hunters passing through but were ignored due to their young age and inexperience. It wasn't until the were caught stealing from an Elder Predator that they accidentally earned their way into a tribe. Boar and Stalker would go on to prove their worth to Elder Greyback and his Lost Tribe, establishing themselves as Hunters and eventually becoming a force of their own proving themselves Elite hunters.

Boar and his clan mates confronted Harrigan aboard their ship after he defeated the City Hunter in a hand-to-hand duel. Knowing Harrigan had won an honorable battle, they spared him, with Boar and Scout collecting the City Hunter's body while the group's leader, Greyback, honored the detective with an ancient flintlock pistol. Harrigan escaped the ship before Boar and the other Predators left Earth.
