Dingo
Dingo - Real name: Harry Monmouth.
History
A mercenary of Australian origins, Dingo joined the Pack when Xanatos first set it up. Like its other members, he appreciated the fame and wealth that they received, but longed for some real adventure, and so joined the rest of the Pack in hunting down the gargoyles when they first appeared in New York. They were defeated, however, and he temporarily fled to Europe afterwards.
Dingo returned to New York, however, and helped Coyote 1.0 break Jackal, Hyena, and Wolf out of prison on Riker’s Island. They fought the gargoyles afterwards, but were once again defeated. The Pack turned to crime in the period following, robbing banks, which increasingly came to disgust Dingo. When Xanatos offered to upgrade the Pack, Dingo alone refused to give up his humanity, opting merely for a high-tech suit of battle armor. Indeed, he was appalled by the way that Jackal, Hyena, and Wolf eagerly renounced their humanity to become a pair of cyborgs and a wolf-man, so much so that after the Pack’s third defeat that followed, he parted ways with them permanently, and went back to Australia.
Here, he accepted a job from Fox in keeping people away from the area where she and Anastasia Renard were testing the Matrix. However, his real interest in returning to Australia was to undergo some change for the better, and break with his old disreputable past as part of the Pack. He consulted a local shaman who gave him some helpful advice about going on Walkabout. When the Matrix began to run amuck, Dingo joined forces with Goliath and his companions in battling it, and finally entered the Dreamtime with Goliath to reason with the artificial intelligence. Dingo finally convinced the Matrix to stop reformatting the world in its quest for order, by pointing out to it that there was "another kind of order: law and order". The Matrix, intrigued, decided to join forces with Dingo in order to find out more about "law and order". Dingo and Matrix then went off to serve as a sort of Australian crime-fighting team, Dingo admitting that he’d rather missed the days when he and his fellow Pack-members were viewed by the public as heroes, and wanted to be a hero once again, but a genuine one.
Dingo and Matrix did indeed become an effective force as a local "super-hero team" for Australia. But they came to the attention of the Director when he was setting up his Redemption Squad, who promptly sent Robyn Canmore after them to recruit them for his cause, once he had taken her into his employ. Dingo and Matrix will thus become part of the Redemption Squad, not quite willingly. In time to come, Dingo and Robyn Canmore will develop a stormy relationship. They will eventually become a couple, and their descendants will still be around by 2198 - and at odds with the Castaways.
