- "Known in legend as the leader of a great rebellion. This Hish freed his race from the clutches of an ancient evil and came to be known as the First Hunter-The "Alpha Predator"."
- ―Alpha description (from Predator: Hunting Grounds)
Kaail ("Rage")[1], also known as the Alpha Predator, or First Hunter, was a Hish-qu-Ten who led a large-scale uprising against the Amengi species, the then rulers of Yautja Prime. His triumph over, and subsequent enslavement of the Amengi saw him become a figure of legend within Yautja/Hish society.
Biography[]
Born a slave thousands of years ago, Kaail was an ancient ancestor of the Yautja species, known as the 'Hish-qu-Ten' or simply the 'Hish', whose people were subject to an invasion, and subsequent subjugation, by the advanced alien race known as the Amengi.[1]
As with many other Hish, he was chemically enhanced and trained to be a fighter for his captors' entertainment. Once matured, he became one of the largest and fiercest of the Hish, respected and feared by peers and captors alike. Unusually intelligent and resentful of him and his people's enslavement, Kaail secretly dedicated himself to liberating his brethren through any means necessary.[1]
While carefully appearing to remain loyal to his captors, he allied himself with other powerful slaves in neighboring occupied territories, and subsequently unified in a bloody, large-scale revolution. Despite their advanced technology, the arrogant and unprepared Amengi were annihilated by the waves of Hish rebels. After the initial slaughter, Kaail retrieved one of the larger Amengi carcasses and fashioned a mask and Body Armor from its exoskeleton.[1]
In Yautja history, Kaail's legacy is cemented as "the First Hunter", forever known as the legendary "Alpha Predator".[1]
Equipment[]
- Bio-mask
- Body Armor
- Cloak
- Primal Wristblades
- Wrist gauntlet
- Primal Spear
- Alpha Sickle
- Plasmacaster
- Primal Shuriken
Kaail's armor and helmet are forged from an Amengi exoskeleton and most of his equipment and weapons during the rebellion are primitive and made of bones as well. After the Hish assimilated Amengi technology, he upgraded his equipment with new gear, including a Cloak, Plasmacaster, Wrist Gauntlet and Self-Destruct Device. He also converted his mask into a Bio-mask.
Trivia[]
- The Alpha Predator was designed by NECA to commemorate their 100th Predator figure and was included as a class in Predator: Hunting Grounds to further promote the figure. The armor design was based on the original predator design from when Van Damme was set to play it. Originally the Alpha Predator was only obtainable with a code included in the figure package. But since the Patch 1.14 on July 17th, 2020, he is obtainable for free when the player reaches Level 100 in the game.
