Biography:
When Lilith's evil pet, the hybrid creature known as Coyote, sought to create his own malevolent kingdom, he chose the lands of the four corners of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico to rule over because he believed the indigenous people living there would be easy to conquer. With the power of the dark arts at his command, Coyote created an army of humanoid and animal hybrid creatures which he unleashed upon the Dine' Tah, the formal home of the Navajo people.
​
Many brutal battles took place over the ensuing years as the Navajo bravely fought off the oppressive force trying to exterminate their race. Powerless to stop these creatures from killing their people, especially the women and children, the elder warriors of the Dine' Tah, along with the few remaining shamans devised a plan to defeat this evil horde for the last time.
According to legend, they called upon the holy wind to send them a worthy champion with supernatural gifts who was strong enough to oppose the evil invading their land. Before the holy wind would oblige, he asked for a deserving vessel to empower. In return, the Navajo created a competition consisting of twelve tasks that their most ardent warriors had to complete. Fifty Navajo warriors competed in this contest and when James Nayenezgani was declared the winner, a portal to the spirit realm opened. A flash of light as bright as the sun blinded everyone and when their vision returned, the holy wind had whisked this champion away.
The next time Coyote and his hybrid forces attacked the Navajo, a portal to the spirit realm opened once more. This time, however, the holy wind was not present. Instead, James Nayenezgani returned. Imbued with the power of a god, he led his people into battle. In possession of spirit realm weapons, he attacked the enemy with his full fury. In a display of might, he cut through hundreds of the hybrid creatures until he reached Coyote. Locked in mortal combat, the two battled for what seemed like an eternity. When the morning sun rose over the mountains, it became apparent to all who were watching this spectacle in awe that Coyote was overmatched. Most importantly, he was going to lose. Unable to keep up with the ferocity James Nayenezgani displayed, Coyote was disarmed of his staff. The weaponless coward begged for mercy but received none in return. In an utter display of brutality, James Nayenezgani used his fists to beat Coyote to a bloody pulp. Before he could deliver the killing blow, the remaining hybrid creatures rushed the mountain. Although many of them perished in an attempt to save their master, the few who survived the ordeal managed to pull Coyote away from the enemy. With no other option, these unnatural creatures quickly retreated and fled the Dine' Tah in defeat.
​Months later, and with his wicked army swelling in rank once more, the evil monstrosity known as Coyote returned to wage war on the Navajo people. However, this time around, not any kind of conflict would suffice. Since the narcissistic creature lacked feeling or remorse, Lilith's prized pet waged a campaign of psychological warfare on his enemies. Not only did his hostile forces abduct many children and women from the peaceful tribes located on the outskirts of the Dine' Tah during nightly raids, but by morning, they had crucified many of those prisoners as punishment for the Navajo's reluctance to accept Coyote as their king. Those not hanging from a cross for all to see were taken to Coyote's cave. There he suspended the decapitated corpses of at least one hundred Navajo infants by their feet like chandeliers. He also treated an additional fifty babies and toddlers in his possession like artwork and nailed them to the walls of his cave. To further mock and punish his hated enemies, he then reanimated the dead Navajo children his creatures had slaughtered and kept them as servants. For the women still alive, Coyote saved a good number of them for himself and they became his sexual slaves. Those he did not find appealing, he passed along to his unruly creatures.
​
One night, to rescue the imprisoned women, the Navajo people planned a raid of their own. While a group of their finest warriors slayed many hybrid creatures as they slept, James Nayenezgani and a masked Kismet snuck into Coyote's lair. With common goals aligned, they brokered a tentative pact to defeat a common foe. Together, they sealed off all the exit points found throughout the mountain range and set a massive fire within the underground caverns.
For three days the cave of Coyote burned. The Navajo warriors stationed outside the mountain quickly pounced on and killed any creature who managed to escape the inferno. Inside the fiery hallows, James Nayenezgani and Kismet hunted down Coyote. Although they could not kill their elusive enemy or his two vampire guardians because they managed to escape through a magic portal, James Nayenezgani and Kismet did slay the Spider Grandmother, an enormous hybrid creature of great strength. Over the following weeks, the Navajo warriors slaughtered all of the remaining hybrid creatures still roaming the land.
​
Since his defeat, Coyote has yet to return to the Dine' Tah. Although his whereabouts and those of his vampire bodyguards are unknown, the ravens he uses as spies, still fly high above the land.
​
Peace in the four corners remained until the end of WWII. After the war, the military constructed a secretive scientific lab underneath the mountain range, which Coyote once used as a lair. Years after its completion, grotesque and hideous monsters started attacking the Navajo people once more.
To this day, James Nayenezgani continues to defend the Dine' Tah against these abominations. On one occasion not too long ago, Kismet and a few of his Heathens even lent a helping hand.
