A Yautja pilot hunted during World War II. In 1942, the pilot encountered American fighters and was shot down.
Personality and traits[]
Unlike many members of his kind who carried out their Hunt on foot thus directly facing their chosen preys, this Yautja did so while piloting his customized Scout Ship thus limiting his targets to skilled combat pilots.
He was a Yautja with greenish skin, and he was completely bald, he had lost one of his eyes and replaced it with a kind of metal patch.
Biography[]
In 1942, this Yautja attacked an American fighter plane squad, leaving a lone survivor who reported back, leading to more planes being sent his way to investigate.
When the squad reached him, he witness the American fighter squadron led by Captain Vandy engage in a brief dogfight with a squadron of fast approaching enemy planes, as he powered up his spacecraft's engines and stealthily approaches them, while cloaked. After watching his targets for a while, the Predator then made his move. When American rookie pilot John J. Torres, piloting a old fighter plane, named The Bullet, he attempted to warn the squadron, unfortunately it was too late as the Yautja de-cloaked his ship and started attacking the entire squadron using harpoons linked to thrusters and Netguns. The squadron was completely wiped out, save for John J. Torres and his superior Captain Vandy, who were now alone against their otherworldly adversary. Both John J. Torres and Captain Vandy deduced that the Yautja was targeting them with heat vision. They both ascended to maximum altitude and turned off their engines, as the Yautja ship closed the distance, preparing to shoot them down. Vandy however, kept his plane engine on and he willingly sacrificed himself to buy his comrade some time; and was brutally decapitated and killed by one of the Yauta pilot's weapons. Vandy's plane immediately exploded, briefly disorentating the Yautja pilot's vision for a moment, enraging him. While rapidly descending, Torres quickly fired upon the Yautja ship using The Bullet's machine guns, before he turned his plane's engine back on, letting the Predator chase him right into enemy territory that was occupied by Nazis loyalist French. After a lengthy chase through the city, John J. Torres managed to lure the Yautja ship right into the middle of a battle between the American Navy and the Nazis-loyalist French Navy, where the Predator's spaceship was hit from all sides and he was thought to have been shot down by one of the French Navy ship's own cannons.
Unfortunately, John J. Torres victory was short lived, as the Predator in his now badly damaged ship, however, survives this and once again he tries to kill John J. Torres who was running out of options. Thinking quickly, Torres goads the Predator into taking the bait. But as one of the Predator's harpoons targets and instantly hooks Torres' plane, Torres intentionally allows his plane's engine to stall as he uses a parachute to obscure the Predator's view, as he immediately jumps into the ocean. The harpoon's thrusters meanwhile end up hooking onto the Predator's ship causing the plane's engine block to swing around right and straight into the Yautja ship, and successfully killing the Predator once and for all.
John J. Torres manages to survive and was quickly rescued soon after by the U.S Navy.
The recording of the Yautja's final hunt would reach his brethren back in their home planet and subsequebtly made its way to Warlord's Clan, leading to its Clan Leader ordered Torres's capture.
Equipment[]
As per his hunt's curious modus operandi, he pilots a modified Scout Ship outfit with weapons capable of tearing into humans' World War II-era aircrafts such as harpoon launchers, net launcher, and a mine which emanated energy threads capable of slicing through flesh. The decision to use such weapons instead of more destructive plasma-cannon was to ensure his chosen preys — World War II fighter aircraft pilots — still had fighting chance against him thus aligned with his kind's honor code which dictated against using excessively damaging arsenal in a Hunt, especially considering said prey's technology being inferior than his.
