Ku'dlak, alongside Yen'sha and R'ka were sent to the Xenomorph-infested human vessel, the Theseus to conduct a hunt and complete their Blooding Ritual. All three are successful in achieving the Blooded rank, though things are complicated when R'ka is infected by a Facehugger.
Biography
Hunt aboard the Theseus
Upon realizing that the nearby 'ooman' vessel was infested with Xenos, Elder Predator Set-Thwei deemed the matter a perfect opportunity for the three Young hunters earn the rank of Blooded, sending them on their way with the reward of a Plasmacaster if they return.
Within the Theseus, Jackal killed a Xenomorph, irritated by the news that his older brother had claimed the first Xeno kill. He subsequently turned his attention to a nearby human and brutally killed him, claiming his skull and spinal cord as a trophy.[2]
Personality and Traits
Ku'dlak was a bitter Young Blood, described by his brother, Edge as "hot-headed".[3] Jackal despised his brother due to his ego, believing that Edge thought he was better than most. He was particularly irritated by the news of him acquiring the first kainde amedha kill, accusing him of either being lucky or making a deceitful claim. He also disliked R'ka, deeming him a "sycophant". Jackal was also very arrogant, and believed the process of a Blooding Ritual was "beneath him".
