The Wildcats are a House Escher gang, that is active in Necromunda's Hive Primus.[1a]

History

They once had a member named Outlands Annie, who in reality was the Hive Noble Yolanda Catallus of House Catallus. She was in line to inherit control of her House when Yolanda decided to escape into the Underhive and House Catallus later placed a bounty to return her to them. The reward was sought after by the Bounty Hunter Kal Jerico, who discovered that Yolanda and Annie were the same person. Her Outlands persona also had a reward out for her capture and with his Bounty Hunter partner Scabbs in tow, Jerico confronted the Wildcats in their lair and told Yolanda that he knew her true identity. The Bounty Hunter then asked Yolanda to chose her fate: either be turned into Hive Primus' Merchants Guild as an outlaw or return to her House and become a Noble once more. Yolanda refused either choice, stating that she had renounced her birthright, and then pulled a gun on Jerico. The Wildcats did not realize, however, that the crafty Bounty Hunter had tossed a frag grenade into a nearby fire pit while he was talking. The fire in the pit caused the grenade to go off and in the confusion that followed, the Bounty Hunters captured Yolanda and escaped from the Wildcats.[1a]

In the end, though, the Bounty Hunters decided that House Catallus was unlikely to want to have Yolanda back as she had lived too long as an outlaw. Jerico also did not want to collect the Merchants Guild's bounty on Outlands Annie, however, as he had grown to like Yolanda's antics. So instead, the Bounty Hunters left her tied up in a giant sewer tunnel and went on to seek other bounties.[1a] While Yolanda was able to free herself, she did not return to rejoin the Wildcats. Instead, she eventually became a Bounty Hunter herself and went on to become a partner of Jerico and Scabbs.[1b]
