Who is Hookturn?

Species: Black Lemur

Age: 4 years (Equivalent to late-20s in Human Years)

Personality: Selfless, prideful, pragmatic.

Hookturn was a pilot in the Lemur Air Force until he was dishonourably discharged and banished, along with his friend Jayrunner, for disobeying an order that would have seen his country destroyed.

He spent two years of exile in Australia, assisting Pipa the quoll in archaeological expeditions to find ancient human artifacts. As a result of this, he was drawn into Brianna the numbat’s rebellious struggle against the overwhelming power of the Rat Empire. After being reinstated into the lemur armed forces, he organized for Brianna, Pipa, and the wallaby, Bray, to commandeer a lemur spacecraft in order to obtain a key artifact from the moon.

At the same time, Madagascar was being systematically obliterated by a rat war fleet. The spacecraft needed to be launched and guided from the ground, so Hookturn made the decision to give up his own life by staying behind and manning the controls. Hookturn remained stoically at his post until death claimed him, and because of his sacrifice, the moon mission was a success, and the world was given a fighting chance against rat domination.
