Closer analysis showed that Hun was never referred to as a female, as the only pronouns are used collectively with Attila to be "those men" or "those guys". So Hun appears to just be a male with a female voice. As such, Hun will be referred to as a male for the rest of this article.

=Name Origin=
==Personality==
Hun's name is taken from [[wp:Attila the Hun|Attila the Hun]], a European king and warrior. His Japanese name is from [[wp:Matsuo Basho|Matsuo Bashō]], a Japanese poet from the Edo period.
Hun and Attila both seem somewhat set in their rank, and approach missions casually. They seem to be keep their cool even when they lose. Even in these situations, they beat a calm retreat. Despite physical stereotypes, Hun is the dominant partner, telling Attila to do things that he could do himself. Attila doesn't object, or show any signs of aggravation over this role.

==Relations to other Members==
==On Hand==
Hun has no recorded history with his partner Attila, but their body language and the familiarity of the behavior towards each other shows that they do have history together.
 
The pair takes mission orders from [[Dr. Shiranui]], but it is implied that they have never met him before.
 
==Arsenal and Abilities==
====Robotic====
In addition to the Crystal System, Attila and Hun control a small shuttlecraft, a helicopter, and a [[wp:Mech|mech]] with a peculiar manner of walking. Some call it the "Chicken Walker", (a name given to bipedal mechs, most notably given to the [[wp:AT-ST|AT-ST]] of [[wp:Star Wars|Star Wars]] fame,) but there is nothing to suggest that this is the official name.
