(( I have been thinking a lot about Infinite’s past lately. Part of it has to do with the psychological factor as well as his up-bringing. What makes a truly, horrible individual, horrible? Do they need justification for their actions? Did they have to grow up in awful conditions to become the way they are? Or is it more terrifying and ominous if it has been something embedded in their brain throughout their entire life?That there is no rhyme nor reason to their methods, but their methods remain cruel and immoral nonetheless. Along with that, I also thought about where, specifically, he came from. He has an entire squad full of jackals-creatively called the Jackal Squad-while he was dubbed the ultimate mercenary. He must have had family and he must have lived somewhere before all of this happened. Considering the squad of jackals all look very similar, I would like to think that its some kind of small society comprised of jackals. Or, the society itself at least, is inhabited by many jackals. I don’t believe they are all related, they just all came from or around the same place. If Infinite helped take over 99% of the world for the Eggman Empire, I would also like to think that he may have encountered this population again. Before I sat down and thought about it, I asked myself, “Wow, encountering his family and friends again during this time of takeover? I wonder if he would hesitate to hurt them?” but after thinking about it further, it’s just not feasible that he would even think twice about it. That wasn’t even up for debate. If Infinite doesn’t care about his own well-being and was willing to destroy literally everything in existence without question, why would he even think twice about destroying everyone he used to know? Perhaps they wouldn’t recognize him from under his mask, but he would recognize them. And he wouldn’t care. They would conform, or they would crumble. ))
