N-016 is a Minotaur or Neanderthal who was forced into service to the King of the Underworld.

History[]

Early History[]

Born as a pure-bred Neanderthal in the Underworld, N-016 was not given a proper name and instead a designation, as he was forced to be a part of the slave labour force of minotaurs for the Four Legendary Kingdoms

The Four Legendary Kingdoms[]

N-016 was chosen to be one of the 16 minotaurs who were to confront one of the 16 Champions of the Great Games of the Hydra, as part of the First Challenge. N-016 confronted Jack West Jr in his cell soon after he woke up and attacked the Champion with a hunting knife. After a struggle, Jack managed to use the Minotaur's own strength to send him charging into the cell's stone wall, partially breaking N-016's neck.

N-016 was briefly knocked out by the force, but as Jack examined his body, removing his bull's mask, the Minotaur rose back up and tried to attack again. However, the blow that wounded his neck kept him disorientated, and Jack quickly managed to get behind him, he properly broke N-016's neck, finally killing him.

Skills[]

  • Trained Combatant: In preparation for the first Challenge of the Great Games of the Hydra, N-016 was given some combat training, enough for him to prove a potential challenge for his opponent. N-016 is also capable of wielding a hunting knife with no difficulty.

Equipment[]

  • Hunting Knife: A serrated blade which N-016 carried with him when moving to challenge Jack in his cell for the first Challenge.
  • Bull Helmet: A bull-shaped mask typically worn by the minotaurs. It has a mesh over the visor to allow N-016 to see through, and features a gas-mask filter made in the shape of an animal's snout.
