Shadowpack
Alef Lusus (a.k.a. Shadowpack)
Alef is a resistance affiliated superhero who operates out of Terminal City. She is the current leader of The Darksiders, and acts as an ad-hoc mentor to several junior super teams such as the Cognitive Dissidents.
Physical Description
Special abilities
Alef transforms into a huge black wolf, the Alpha, the size of a horse and the strength of a bear. Firearms have seemingly no effect on her, but she is vulnerable to fire and energy attacks. As a wolf, she is surrounded by the pack of smaller wolves whose bodies are featureless black shadows, but have shining yellow eyes and fangs. The wolves attack from, and retreat into, shadows. Foes which gain the Shadowpack's ire have been seen dragged into the shadows, taken to parts unknown. While they are individually weak and there is a seemingly endless number of them. With each extra wolf, though, both the Alpha and the individual wolves grow slightly weaker.
Mental characteristics
Education
Alef is a doctoral student at Terminal City University during the day. Her masters thesis was on the predominance of shadow creatures in the pantheons and totems of the indigenous populace of the Rustbucket area.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Her activities seem to involve mentoring young superheroes, with her end goal being to recruit new heroes to the resistance. While she is clear on her goal, she does not place conditions on her mentorship and puts the health and safety of what she refers to as 'her cubs' first. She constantly impressed upon them the need to maintain their secret identities, even amongst each other, and certainly between super groups. This is for their own protection, so that one if captured the others are not compromised. Alef strongly believes that a better future can be built by these teams.
