Like the literary creature of his namesake, NIGHTGAUNT prefers fast and quiet strikes. In battle, he is almost entirely mute, speaking up only when his life (or job) is on the line. He follows orders to the letter, and without question. He is not only renowned for his natural aptitude behind the stick of just about any aircraft, but for the deadly efficiency with which he flies them. While he seems to possess limitless patience, his temper is quite vicious when raised. In truth, Nightgaunt holds an amazing level of control over his own emotions. He can suppress anything from fear to joy, all in the name of duty. Some of his comrades have actually questioned whether he feels any emotions at all. Although Nightgaunt is trained in the use of several handguns and rifles, he has an affinity for bladed weapons and unarmed combat.

Text Report

Time: 1030 EST
Subject: Over Kill
- Under orders from Major Bludd, I tracked down Over Kill while still in the United States. He revealed his location to be Detroit. Major Bludd ordered his head and brain stem returned intact. I had no hard armaments hat would have left even that much, so I opted for EMP-Missiles. I was aggressively engaged by an Autobot. Flight recorder data will show that the Autobot opened fire without provocation. Damage was sustained by the Shadow Rattler, and I required assistance in retrieving Over Kill. Baroness arrived in a Nightraven to assist. We were met at the Colombia Airfield by HEAT Vipers, who were issued EMP Grenades. Awaiting orders to transfer Over Kill. Shadow Rattler is undergoing repairs and rework.
