Infinite the jackal

E.g. He is an anthropomorphic jackal, and the former captain of the Jackal Squad mercenary group. During the raid, Infinite was hired by Dr. Eggman to become the leader of Eggman's army, just for him and his destroyed team, who fell at the hands of Shadow the hedgehog while protecting one of the doctor's facilities. Ashamed of losing his power, Infinite decided to get the power of the Phantom Ruby not only as a means to become stronger, but also to give up his "weak" past self.

E.g.With his newfound power, Infinite helped Eggman, helping him expand the empire to its largest size to date after defeating Sonic the hedgehog. However, towards the end of the war with the Resistance, the jackal repeatedly engaged Sonic and Rookie (also known as Rookie the Wolf or Gadget the Wolf) until he was defeated in the decisive battle for the planet.He is an anthropomorphic jackal with black fur. He has white long and stiff dreadlocks, some kind of white collar and white stripes on his back that resemble ribs.

He also has a bushy tail with a white tip, and wears black gloves with silver stripes on the back of his hand and pointed fingers. He also has pointed, metallic black hightops, with his personal infinity symbol engraved on the red soles. His right eye is colored blue, although there is a scar across it, and his left eye is yellow. It also has a medium-length white muzzle with tufts on the cheeks, a black nose and prominent sharp fangs. Abandoning his former identity, Infinite began to wear a silver—colored mask with large ears with white and black circular patterns inside, with the right ear being black with white circular patterns and the left one white with black circular patterns.

While his left eye is visible through a red visor, his right eye is covered with a black lightning-like bandage that is connected to the right ear of his mask, which glows red when he uses his power. Infinite possesses a so-called completed version of the prototype Phantom Ruby, which is implanted in his chest.

E.g.When he channels the power of the stone, he can surround himself with a red aura, with red, glitch-like pixel particles scattered throughout his body. Before merging with the prototype of the Phantom Ruby, Infinite was a cruel, heartless and vicious mercenary whose main interest as a mercenary was to receive rewards. Openly encouraging his subordinates to commit murder, he had no qualms about taking someone's life.

E.g. However, under this facade, he hid the darker, almost nihilistic desires of anarchy: when he struck the Phantom Ruby, it forced him to reveal his deepest desires in the form of a devastated, war-torn world. It was implied that Infinite dislikes stagnation and the current world very much, he admittedly joined the Eggman empire because he was exhausted and tired of the world, and wanted to change it, obviously for the worse, just to provide some entertainment. Even before acquiring the prototype of the Phantom Ruby, Infinite was an arrogant jackal. He was proud of his title as the greatest mercenary and considered himself a powerful enemy, seeing how he denied his weakness after being beaten by Shadow the hedgehog.

E.g. Obviously, he was also almost fearless; before meeting the black hedgehog, he had apparently never felt fear. Even being on Dr. Eggman's side, the rage, in his opinion, was nothing more than annoyance at the doctor. For the first time since he came face to face with Shadow, a creature capable of surpassing his speed and strength, he was so shocked that he even trembled with fear. Before becoming an Infinite, he also had at least some degree of care for his subordinates in the squad, as he angrily confronted the black hedgehog on destroying his squad before fighting him. Before receiving the prototype of the Phantom Ruby, Infinite was also very loud, noisy and rude, and used very rude and informal speech due to his mercenary background.

E.g.Casting aside his former self, Infinite chose a personality for himself that greatly enhanced his dark features, becoming a much darker and more deadly figure. He also acquired a much more cold, restrained, threatening and outwardly restrained demeanor, and his speech became more eloquent, formal and theatrical.

E.g.Having gained unsurpassed strength in the form of a prototype Phantom Ruby, Infinite considered himself invincible, causing his confidence and arrogance to rise to astronomical heights. Although his confidence was not without reason, his arrogance was so great that at times he would rather leave his enemies behind than kill them, fully believing that they posed no threat to him. He also often expressed a strong sense of superiority when speaking without showing any respect for others other than himself, although characters like Shadow noted that he had a "big mouth." Even in battle, Infinite remained extremely collected, detached, calm, stoic and confident with a cynical, careless and sarcastic demeanor; when he first encountered Sonic the hedgehog, he hardly spared his enemy, even when they engaged in direct combat. Accordingly, the Infinite would also mock those who found strength in others. However, he can acknowledge attributes to his opponents that he considered commendable, as Infinite admitted before Omega's attack that the latter was energetic, and during his rematch with Sonic, he reluctantly admitted that the blue hedgehog had strengthened since their last meeting.After he changed his identity, Infinite became violent, extremely sadistic, and terrifyingly ruthless. He took great pleasure in causing pain and torment to others.

E.g.He also enjoyed how the world's population was afraid of him and had a perverse need to see how others were afraid of him, expressing that feelings such as fear, anxiety and doubt were delightful to him. He even willingly let the Avatar escape from their battle unscathed, just to enjoy his terrified screams. He also turned out to have a dry but dark sense of humor.

E.g.Unlike Dr. Eggman, who revealed his plans and motives by gloating in front of his enemies, Infinite never revealed anything vital about himself when confronting his enemies, making himself mysterious and enigmatic; when Sonic tried to get information about his power from him in the Mystical Jungle, Infinite ignored all attempts by the blue hedgehog to provoke the answer is from him and instead tried to eliminate him.After gaining the power of the Phantom Ruby, Infinite became very indifferent to the opposition, seeing military organizations like the Resistance as little more than rabble or insects that would be crushed by it. Thus, the jackal implies during his meeting with Silver that he was perfectly happy to allow uprisings against him solely for the sake of suppressing them, regardless of whether these uprisings originally served his immediate agenda. Similarly, he also expressed the opinion that because he had previously defeated their savior Sonic, the Resistance should not have bothered fighting against him at all. However, Infinite, on some level, desired a challenge from others, as he wondered if the world still had any real problems for him after the devastating Operation Big Wave. Despite this, the jackal wanted first of all to make sure that everyone gave in to him, because he noted that absolutely everyone would obey him when the conspiracy would help Eggman dominate and rule the world. To this end, he was ready to burn the whole world to the ground with his power.However, the most notable trait of Infinite's character was his inferiority complex, especially regarding any perceived weakness he might have. This was especially evident when he fought Shadow and was easily defeated by him. After black hedgehog bluntly told him that he was useless and told him not to show his pathetic face to him ever again, jackal continued to rage about how he wasn't weak before eventually subjecting himself to fusion with the prototype Phantom Ruby and completely discarding any traces of his old identity to the point that he refused to show his own face.

E.g.Indeed, when Shadow returned after a long absence, he recognized from the black hedgehog's lack of memory of him that it meant that his former self was too pathetic to remember such a thing. Other signs of this trait were shown where he expressed disgust at Eggman calling for a retreat, viewing it as a tacit admission of weakness. Even after his defeat, Infinite tries to insist that he can fight, even when he is dragged from the battlefield. The implication is that this inferiority complex has developed into an insane obsession with power. As Shadow runs through the phantom Green Hill, Jackal's thoughts are repeated through the false Omega, constantly repeating that he was not weak, almost like a paranoid reassurance, showing Infinite as a possibly insecure character.

As Shadow runs through the phantom Green Hill, Jackal's thoughts are repeated through the false Omega, constantly repeating that he was not weak, almost like a paranoid reassurance, showing Infinite as a possibly insecure character.Because of his obsession with power, Infinite also demonstrated a Darwinian view of life, which is especially evident with his fight against the Rookie in Metropolis, where he stated that the weak ultimately exist solely to be defeated by the strong, and later his admission that he underestimated how desperately the weak would cling for life, when Rookie managed to keep them against him. Strangely enough, despite the fact that he appreciated his former squad enough to try to attack Shadow as revenge for the latter's destruction of the unit, he pointed out during his last battle with Sonic and Avatar that friendship is a fleeting illusion, and that one can confidently rely only on oneself. Whether this meant that he blamed his assessment of the squad for losing to the black hedgehog is unclear. In addition, both Sonic and Amy noted that Infinite's existence was ultimately sad and lonely. Prior to obtaining the final prototype of the Phantom Ruby, Infinite was apparently a strong fighter in his own right, his skills earning him the title of the ultimate mercenary.

E.g.However, he was nowhere near as strong as Shadow the hedgehog. After merging with the prototype of the Phantom Ruby, Infinity gained powers superior to those of the Master Emerald (which is the most powerful relic in the world). According to his own words, he had acquired an unsurpassed and ultimate power through his gemstone. Infinite's newfound strength turned out to be so great that he was able to effortlessly defeat figures such as E-123 Omega and Silver the hedgehog, and even Sonic the hedgehog twice. He was even able to single-handedly crush the entire Resistance army during Operation Big Wave. His strength was such that even Tails couldn't accurately assess his capabilities. The Infinite itself was quite fast and agile in its movements, being capable of high-speed jumps and lunges of several meters, although its speed was easily surpassed by Shadow's Chaos Control abilities. He also demonstrated super-average durability by taking punches from a black hedgehog. He was also skilled in swordsmanship. After merging the Infinite with the completed prototype of the Phantom Ruby, he acquired the ability to generate, destroy and manipulate virtual reality, which he could turn into a virtual reality projection to interact with reality. The mentioned virtual reality is an illusion created by Infinit, exercising control over its visual and deep perception, giving false information to the brain. He could use his projection to allow his virtual reality to interact with the real world to empower himself. With no limits on the illusions he could create, the jackal possessed, under the influence of his Phantom Ruby, unlimited abilities. In the virtual realities of his ruby, Infinite was able to make himself faster and stronger than even Sonic. His speed was so great that he was able to outrun the blue hedgehog when it tried to attack him. Similarly, his power became powerful enough to knock down someone the size of Sonic with enough force to split a concrete arch on impact. He also used his ruby to give himself the power of flight and levitation, deadly energy ray emission, energy ball projection, self-reproduction, size increase, shock wave manipulation, gravity distortion, object materialization and teleportation. He could even manifest giant monsters in his likeness, trap creatures in virtual realities, create an entire sun that moved according to his will, and mimic the special techniques of others, such as the exclusive attack of Metal Sonic V. However, in battle, Infinite primarily used his Phantom Ruby to create crimson cubes, which he could skillfully and willingly move. If the opponent was hit by these cubes, then he would be sent to virtual reality, where he was attacked by objects manifested by the power of his ruby. He could generate a large number of such cubes and decompose them into many different shapes. Infinite can also use the power of his ruby to create monstrous clones that cause his victims to falsely perceive the presence of other characters.

E.g.Shadow describes these copies as having mass and shape, but no heart or soul. These copies, if they wished, could also carry the memories, powers, and personalities of the originals. Accordingly, Infinite could create an unlimited number of them. He could also change them to make the clones stronger than the originals, for example, to make a copy of Metal Sonic bigger and give him the opportunity to use electrified versions of his energy cubes, as well as materialize objects to use as a shield.

E.g.Using the power of the Phantom Ruby, Infinite was also capable of limited spatial manipulation, allowing him to create empty spaces that seem to be unavoidable voids in space and time where absolutely nothing exists. By opening portals to empty spaces, the Infinite can strengthen such portals in order to expand and suck in everything that is nearby.

E.g.When he was the leader of his squad, he had a red sword. This sword was obviously very sharp, as it could easily cut through robots. While Infinite's illusions are huge, they can be neutralized by someone who has a prototype of the Phantom Ruby. Similarly, the illusions of his prototype only work if the target is in the field of action of the original ruby. In addition, the prototype of the Phantom Ruby requires a huge amount of energy to work. If its power supply is turned off, the prototype will become inert.

E.g.Another weakness of the Infinite is his extreme self—confidence and constant need to satisfy his sadism. When the jackal destroyed Rookie's squad, he willingly let him escape unharmed, enjoying the sounds of his screams. Later, when Sonic was at his mercy for the second time, instead of finishing him off there, he just walked away, seeing the blue hedgehog as something he didn't need to worry about. Both of these actions turned out to be Infinite's downfall when Sonic and Rookie later ended up beating him up together. Infinite's past - He was once the captain of the Jackal Squad, a gang of hired thieves who raided others for profit. Over time, he gained a public reputation as the ultimate mercenary. One day, the last mercenary led his squad to raid Dr. Eggman's base in the Arsenal Pyramid, while the scientist studied the Phantom Ruby in an attempt to steal his devices for his big reward. Using the ruby, Eggman created an army of Egg Spider clones to fight off the Jackal Squad. Slipping past the Egg Pounders, the last mercenary ordered his squad to finish the work, and he moved forward to kill Eggman with his sword. However, the last mercenary instead accidentally hit the Phantom Ruby, forcing him to show him the illusion of what he wanted most: a devastated, destroyed world. Using this to push the last mercenary aside, Eggman, who also saw the vision, took a liking to him and offered to make him the leader of his army so that they could achieve their goals together.

E.g.Realizing that he was bored with this world, the last mercenary accepted Eggman's offer, despite the protests of his squad. Some time later, the last mercenary and the squad were assigned by Eggman to guard his facility in the Mystical Jungle. When Shadow the hedgehog came to raid and destroy the facility, the Jackal Squad was destroyed by the black hedgehog. Berated by Eggman for his squad's incompetence in defending the facility, the last mercenary caught up with Shadow and tried to ambush him as payback for what he had done to his squad and justify his title. However, the last mercenary was caught off guard by the black hedgehog's abilities and was eventually reliably suppressed. When leaving, Shadow called the remaining leader worthless. When the last mercenary came to his senses, he realized, to his horror, that he was afraid. Then the jackal threw a tantrum about how weak he was. Bitterly regretting his defeat, the last mercenary discarded his old identity, going so far as to wear a mask to hide his true face and become stronger. He then received a completed prototype of the Phantom Ruby from Eggman, who granted him virtually unlimited power. After a series of experiments in the most intimate area of the empire's fortress, Eggman managed to combine the ultimate mercenary with a prototype Phantom Ruby, creating the weapon he needed to defeat Sonic the hedgehog and conquer the world. "Reborn", the mercenary renamed himself Infinita and became Eggman's right hand in his conquest.

E.g.Shortly after receiving his abilities, Infinite was sent by Eggman to deal with the E-123 Omega robot, which went on to kill a whole bunch of the doctor's henchmen on its way through the base. Opposing Omega, Infinite effortlessly defeated the robot with his new abilities. Shortly after, Shadow appeared at the facility to find Omega who had lost his signal, and Infinite welcomed Black hedgehog to their expected reunion. However, when Shadow admitted that he did not remember him, Infinite did not hesitate to tell him his backstory and what he had been doing since their last meeting a couple of months ago. As soon as he finished, the jackal tried to crush the hedgehog by trapping it in virtual reality. Although Shadow had broken free, Infinite was nevertheless impressed by the power he now possessed. After he hinted at his agenda to defeat Sonic, the facility he and Shadow were in began to collapse. Infinite ran off, giggling wildly.

E.g.Infinite hates Shadow with all his heart.

E.g.Infinite has long white hair, which is often confused.

E.g. Infinite has black paws with white palms, black pads and black sharp claws. He also has sharp teeth.
