History
Before Infinite wore a mask and became a powerhouse through his Phantom Ruby, he was the leader of the Jackal Squad. These jackals would hunt for technology together then use it to fetch bounties. He had only been going through the motions though, growing more tired of the world each day. One day, the Jackal Squad raided Dr. Eggman's Arsenal Pyramid. The doctor counterattacked using his shiny new rock he just found. Infinite attacked Dr. Eggman directly while the rest of the squad handled the Egg Pawns. His blade clashed with the Phantom Ruby, causing Eggman and Infinite to see a world in ruins. This intrigues Robotnik, and he offers the Jackal Squad a chance to join the Eggman Empire. The other jackals try and talk Infinite out of joining, but he had already made up his mind.[2]
Jackal Squad ended up as security detail for Eggman's Facility while the computer was running more analyses on the Ruby. Their time under Eggman's leadership was short-lived, as Shadow the Hedgehog eliminated all of them but Infinite.
