This article contains major plot details from Tribal Bloody Beginnings: The Rise of the Dark Alpha and its comic adaptations.

Harpies are fictional engineered human assassins, bodyguards and covert operatives in the Tribal Universe. They are created through a long-running institutional system known as the Harpy Project, later overseen and refined by Doctor Polezah for the government of Nebu.

The name does not describe winged mythological creatures.

Within the Tribal Universe, a Harpy is a human woman selected in childhood, stripped of her former identity and conditioned into a highly obedient weapon. Harpies are trained for direct protection of Alpha, covert assassination, infiltration and missions considered too sensitive for ordinary Nebu warriors.

The program is designed to manufacture operatives who are:

• physically exceptional;
• psychologically conditioned;
• highly resistant to pain;
• skilled in multiple forms of killing;
• capable of entering defended locations quickly;
• loyal to the Alpha above ordinary personal attachments.

Harpies represent one of the clearest examples of Nebu transforming children into specialized weapons.

Their danger does not come only from strength or speed.

It comes from training intended to remove hesitation, erase identity and replace emotional autonomy with mission obedience.

In 2026, the Harpies became central antagonists in Tribal Comics Issue 4: Assault on Gia – Sakori’s Fury, a 42-page adaptation of Chapter 18 of Tribal Bloody Beginnings.

During the assault on Gia, Alpha deploys three Harpies through the kingdom’s southern cliffs while Commander Zuberi Ka’ Nalo attacks from the east and Deathwave attacks from the west.

The three-Harpy unit reaches the southern wall before Gia’s defenders can organize.

Sakori, already wounded from other battles, confronts them alone.

He kills two and allows the third, identified as Zinetha, to escape so that someone will survive to report what happened.

The sequence becomes one of the comic’s defining demonstrations of both Harpy coordination and Sakori’s ability to study, survive and dismantle engineered opponents.

Canonical identity

The Harpies are human women transformed through training, conditioning and institutional control.

They are not:

• a separate species;
• winged creatures;
• supernatural birds;
• naturally born monsters;
• confirmed biological sisters.

The language of sisterhood may describe shared training, shared program identity or the closeness created by being raised inside the same system.

Confirmed facts

The following information is directly established:

• the Harpy Project exists within Nebu;
• the program predates Doctor Polezah’s modern leadership;
• Polezah later assumes control and refines its procedures;
• candidates are selected in early childhood;
• names and family attachments are removed;
• training includes blades, poison, unarmed combat and infiltration;
• psychological obedience is a central goal;
• Harpies may guard the Alpha directly;
• Harpies may perform sensitive assassinations and covert missions;
• three-Harpy units are used for coordinated attacks;
• three Harpies are deployed against Gia’s southern wall;
• Sakori kills two of the Gia attackers;
• Sakori spares the third;
• the surviving Harpy is Zinetha;
• Sakori later carries the severed heads of the two dead Harpies to Alpha;
• Zinetha survives the southern-wall battle;
• Harpies can disobey, hesitate or develop attachments despite conditioning;
• the program remains active during the known story period.

Unconfirmed information

The following details remain unclear:

• the original creator of the Harpy Project;
• the first Harpy’s identity;
• the exact number of active Harpies;
• the complete number of failed candidates;
• whether every Harpy receives identical training;
• whether every candidate possesses strong Ka’ru;
• the legal status of Harpies inside Nebu;
• whether any Harpy has permanently escaped the program;
• the names of the two Harpies killed by Sakori;
• the exact biological histories of most Harpies;
• the full extent of the program after the assault on Gia.

Name and terminology

Harpy

Harpy is the title given to a completed or recognized operative of the Harpy Project.

The title replaces the person’s earlier identity within the program.

It functions as:

• occupational designation;
• weapon classification;
• statement of allegiance;
• erasure of private history;
• symbol of successful conditioning.

The title is intended to matter more than the woman’s original name.

The Harpy Project

The Harpy Project is the institutional system used to identify, train, condition and deploy Harpies.

The project is older than Polezah’s direct control.

Polezah describes his role as improvement rather than invention.

Under his oversight, the project becomes more efficient, more survivable and more closely connected to Nebu’s broader experiments in engineered combat.

Alpha’s daughters

Harpies may be described symbolically as the Doctor’s daughters or Alpha’s female weapons.

This language does not establish biological parenthood.

It reflects:

• creation through Polezah’s program;
• obedience to Alpha;
• family language used as political ownership;
• the way Nebu converts institutional production into household identity.

Appearance

Harpies are human women trained to weaponize both physical ability and appearance.

The novels emphasize:

• speed;
• strength;
• controlled movement;
• surgical violence;
• trained beauty;
• calm expressions during killing;
• bodies shaped for combat;
• the absence of ordinary hesitation.

They are not depicted with wings.

Their visual danger comes from the contradiction between human appearance and near-mechanical behavior.

During the attack on Gia, the three Harpies climb the cliffs like spiders, move faster than ordinary defenders can react and kill with coordinated precision.

Their exact:

• heights;
• hair colors;
• eye colors;
• uniforms;
• armor;
• individual weapons

are not consistently established for every member.

Official comic depiction

Tribal Comics Issue 4 provides one of the most prominent visual depictions of Harpies in active warfare.

In the comic, the three-Harpy unit is portrayed as:

• highly athletic;
• capable of climbing Gia’s cliffs without conventional support;
• fast enough to eliminate sentries before an alarmed defense can form;
• physically coordinated;
• willing to attack Sakori together;
• visibly human despite being treated as engineered weapons.

The comic presents their movement as predatory and organized rather than animalistic or uncontrolled.

The Harpy Project

Origins

The Harpy Project predates the current generation of Nebu leadership.

Its exact beginning has not been revealed.

The age of the project suggests that the creation of obedient female weapons is not an isolated experiment.

It is part of a long institutional tradition.

The program survives because each generation inherits:

• records;
• trainers;
• selection methods;
• conditioning doctrine;
• mission requirements;
• political justification.

Doctor Polezah later assumes control of an existing machine.

He does not create the machine from nothing.

Selection

Candidates are generally chosen between approximately four and seven years old.

Selection favors children with:

• physical promise;
• high pain tolerance;
• strong survival instinct;
• limited or removable family attachment;
• traits considered useful for future combat.

The program prefers candidates without surviving relatives because attachment creates competing loyalties.

A child with no one outside the program is easier to redefine as property.

The candidate’s name is recorded and then erased.

This is not merely administrative.

Name removal is the first step in replacing personhood with function.

Childhood conditioning

Harpy training begins before candidates are old enough to understand consent, allegiance or permanent identity.

Their childhood is reorganized around:

• physical pain;
• obedience;
• repetition;
• punishment;
• reward;
• emotional suppression;
• combat;
• surveillance;
• controlled attachment.

The system attempts to ensure that mission success feels safer than independent choice.

Traditional training stages

Older program doctrine follows a staged development model.

By approximately ten, a candidate is expected to possess lethal unarmed ability.

By approximately fourteen, she may be trained in:

• blades;
• poison;
• stealth;
• unarmed combat;
• target observation.

By approximately seventeen, candidates enter mission-simulated testing.

Between approximately seventeen and eighteen, the project begins its most severe integration phase.

By approximately twenty-one, a survivor may be considered complete.

These ages describe program expectations rather than guarantees for every individual.

Integration

Integration is the stage in which obedience is intended to replace independent emotional decision-making.

The process attempts to weaken or remove:

• private loyalty;
• personal identity;
• romantic attachment;
• family memory;
• hesitation;
• refusal.

The goal is not to create an emotionless body.

It is to redirect emotion toward the program and Alpha.

A Harpy may still experience:

• pleasure;
• desire;
• fear;
• loyalty;
• attachment;
• pain.

The program attempts to determine what those emotions serve.

Weaponized sexuality

The project does not necessarily remove sexuality.

Instead, it may separate sensation from attachment and repurpose physical intimacy for:

• infiltration;
• manipulation;
• access;
• control;
• assassination.

This reflects the program’s larger philosophy.

Nothing is allowed to remain private if it can be converted into operational value.

Survival rates

Doctor Polezah claims that the program once killed a larger percentage of its candidates.

After taking control, he increases survival through:

• revised procedures;
• medical intervention;
• tighter observation;
• improved physical conditioning;
• better control of failure points.

A higher survival rate does not make the project humane.

It makes the project more efficient at producing completed weapons.

Failed candidates

Not every selected child becomes a Harpy.

Failed candidates may die, become permanently injured or be repurposed within other parts of Polezah’s system.

Some women inside the Doctor’s laboratories are described as people who were intended to become Harpies but did not complete the process.

Their existence reveals that the official Harpies are only the visible survivors of a much larger structure of suffering.

Training and abilities

Enhanced physical conditioning

Harpies possess exceptional:

• speed;
• strength;
• coordination;
• reflexes;
• balance;
• endurance;
• climbing ability.

Their physical capability exceeds that of ordinary human soldiers.

Pain tolerance

Harpy conditioning trains candidates to remain operational through pain.

Pain is treated as:

• information;
• resistance to overcome;
• a test of obedience;
• a method of separating successful candidates from failures.

Unarmed combat

Harpies are trained to kill without relying upon a single weapon.

Their unarmed methods may include:

• joint destruction;
• choking;
• eye attacks;
• neck breaks;
• disabling strikes;
• spinal attacks.

Blade combat

Blades are central to Harpy training.

A Harpy may use:

• knives;
• short swords;
• concealed blades;
• mission-specific cutting weapons.

During the assault on Gia, the Harpies kill defenders through fast attacks against vulnerable areas.

Poison

Traditional Harpy training includes poison knowledge.

This makes them useful for covert elimination when open combat would create unwanted political consequences.

Stealth and infiltration

Harpies are trained to enter defended spaces, locate targets and eliminate obstacles before larger forces arrive.

Their southern-cliff entry into Gia demonstrates this role.

They bypass the primary gates and reach a lightly expected approach through terrain ordinary soldiers would struggle to climb.

Coordinated group combat

Three-Harpy units operate with tightly controlled timing.

The members:

• attack together;
• create openings for one another;
• exploit hesitation;
• cover multiple angles;
• overwhelm targets through pattern and pressure.

This coordination makes the group more dangerous than three unrelated assassins.

Psychological control

The program attempts to condition Harpies against:

• fear;
• guilt;
• compassion;
• divided loyalty;
• personal choice.

The fact that some Harpies hesitate or disobey demonstrates that conditioning is powerful but not absolute.

Ka’ru

Harpies exist in a world shaped by Ka’ru and may possess enhanced energy through:

• training;
• combat;
• killing;
• survival;
• institutional experimentation.

The precise Ka’ru level of each Harpy differs.

The program’s success cannot be attributed to Ka’ru alone.

Its weapons are produced through the interaction of:

• physical training;
• psychological conditioning;
• medical intervention;
• combat experience;
• energy development.

Roles in Nebu

Protection of Alpha

Harpies may serve as direct guards for Alpha.

Their value lies in:

• loyalty conditioned from childhood;
• ability to respond without hesitation;
• willingness to die;
• skill against unusual threats.

Assassination

They are used to eliminate targets whose deaths must be:

• quiet;
• fast;
• deniable;
• politically controlled.

Infiltration

A Harpy may enter locations where standard Nebu wolves would attract immediate attention.

Their training prepares them to use:

• disguise;
• appearance;
• stealth;
• false vulnerability;
• social access.

Battlefield penetration

The attack on Gia demonstrates that Harpies can also function during open warfare.

They do not operate as ordinary infantry.

They enter through terrain, remove sentries and open a side of the battlefield before the primary army arrives.

Cleanup operations

Nebu may deploy Harpies when it wants a location, witness or failed operation erased quickly.

Their precision makes them useful when leaving survivors is considered dangerous.

Doctrine and loyalty

Property of the program

Candidates are taught that they belong to the program and Alpha.

This doctrine attempts to replace:

• self-ownership;
• family identity;
• personal future;
• independent morality.

Bound to Alpha’s life

Traditional Harpy doctrine ties the operatives to Alpha’s survival.

When an Alpha dies, the Harpies may be expected to die with him.

The rule makes their existence part of the throne’s cost.

It also ensures that a new ruler does not automatically inherit the previous Alpha’s most intimate weapons.

Obedience and failure

A Harpy may be considered failed if she:

• refuses a direct order;
• develops a competing attachment;
• allows emotion to change a mission;
• abandons Alpha;
• protects someone the program has marked for death.

However, the story repeatedly demonstrates that emotional autonomy can survive even the harshest conditioning.

Notable Harpies

Zinetha

Zinetha is the best-known named Harpy.

She is associated with several major conflicts and survives experiences that leave her broken, rebuilt and increasingly separated from the program’s original design.

During the assault on Gia, Zinetha is part of the three-Harpy unit assigned to the southern cliffs.

Sakori kills the other two.

Zinetha hesitates after seeing her sisters die.

Sakori tells her to run.

She obeys.

Her survival is deliberate rather than accidental.

Sakori wants one Harpy to live long enough to report that Gia’s protector defeated the unit.

Zinetha’s continued existence demonstrates that a Harpy can become more than a disposable extension of Alpha.

She later enters conflicts involving Sakori, Khalembo and Deathwave.

Her actions suggest the survival of:

• fear;
• loyalty;
• self-preservation;
• attachment;
• independent choice.

Two Harpies killed at Gia

The names of the two Harpies killed by Sakori at Gia have not been confirmed.

They are part of the unit that climbs the southern wall.

During the confrontation:

• Sakori opens the first Harpy’s throat;
• he breaks the second Harpy’s wrist;
• he then breaks her neck;
• their heads are later removed;
• Sakori carries the heads to Alpha’s position at the main gate.

Their deaths become both battlefield victories and psychological communication.

Sakori does not hide what happened.

He turns the bodies into evidence that Alpha’s specialized weapons can be defeated.

Three-Harpy units

The coordinated triad is one of the program’s most dangerous deployment patterns.

A three-Harpy unit combines:

• multiple attack angles;
• synchronized movement;
• shared training;
• rapid pressure;
• confidence that an ordinary target cannot respond to all three.

The unit becomes vulnerable when an opponent has already studied its patterns.

Sakori survives because he recognizes the structure beneath their speed.

Assault on Gia

Main article: Tribal Comics Issue 4: Assault on Gia - Sakori's Fury

The assault on Gia is the Harpies’ most significant documented comic appearance.

Alpha divides the invasion into four attacks:

• Commander Zuberi leads five hundred Nebu warriors against the eastern flank;
• Deathwave attacks the western approach;
• three Harpies enter through the southern cliffs;
• Alpha attacks the main gate.

The Harpies are assigned to terrain where conventional troops would be slower and easier to detect.

Their mission is to neutralize the southern wall before Gia’s defenders can reinforce it.

Climbing the southern cliffs

The three Harpies climb Gia’s cliffs with extreme speed.

Their movement is compared to spiders rather than birds.

The comparison emphasizes:

• grip;
• flexibility;
• predatory control;
• ability to move across surfaces considered inaccessible.

They reach the sentries before a complete warning can be given.

Fall of the southern wall

The Harpies eliminate the defenders through attacks aimed at:

• throats;
• eyes;
• hamstrings;
• spines.

Gia’s southern wall falls in under two minutes.

The speed of the collapse demonstrates why Alpha assigns only three operatives to the position.

The Harpies do not need the numbers of an army when they can destroy command, movement and resistance before the defenders understand what is happening.

Sakori’s arrival

Sakori reaches the southern wall after already confronting Zuberi and Deathwave.

He is injured and covered in blood.

The Harpies nevertheless recognize him as a serious threat.

Sakori tells them to run.

They refuse.

He predicts:

That’s why two of you are going to die.

— Sakori to the Harpies

The statement is not random intimidation.

Sakori has studied the Harpies’ formation and has already determined how the fight is likely to end.

Three against one

The Harpies attack together.

Under ordinary circumstances, the formation should overwhelm a single opponent.

Sakori survives because he understands their patterns.

He moves as though he has rehearsed their attack for years.

The first Harpy dies from a cut across the throat.

The second suffers a broken wrist and broken neck.

The third hesitates.

Zinetha is spared

The surviving Harpy is Zinetha.

Sakori tells her to run.

She escapes.

His mercy is strategic.

Zinetha becomes:

• witness;
• messenger;
• proof that the battle happened as Sakori claims;
• living evidence that Harpy obedience can be interrupted by fear.

Sakori does not need to kill all three to win.

He needs the enemy to understand what happened.

The heads at Alpha’s feet

After the southern-wall battle, Sakori carries the severed heads of the two dead Harpies through Gia.

He throws them at Alpha’s feet.

The act communicates several messages:

• the southern attack failed;
• Alpha’s specialized weapons can die;
• Sakori survived the east, west and south fronts;
• Gia still possesses a protector;
• one Harpy remains alive to confirm the story.

Alpha asks whether Sakori killed all three.

Sakori explains that he spared one so someone could live to tell the story.

The Harpies therefore become part of the psychological opening to the father-and-son duel between Sakori and Alpha.

Conflict with Khalembo

Khalembo has a complicated relationship with the Harpies.

During the Training Tower Incident, he fights three Harpies and demonstrates that he can:

• evade their formation;
• injure them;
• separate them;
• choose not to kill them.

He uses mercy as performance.

He wants witnesses to understand that the Harpies survive because he permits it.

In later conflict, Khalembo becomes protective of an injured Harpy.

When Deathwave attempts to kill her, Khalembo intervenes.

The moment is important because it proves that the Conqueror can direct violence toward protecting someone rather than only humiliating an enemy.

Conflict with Deathwave

Harpies and Deathwave are separate engineered weapon lines under Polezah’s wider system.

The contrast between them includes:

Harpies	Deathwave
Primarily female assassin line	Engineered combat weapon line
Designed for stealth, infiltration and coordinated killing	Designed for overwhelming direct performance
May operate in teams	Frequently deployed alone
Conditioning emphasizes loyalty, precision and access	Conditioning emphasizes efficiency, power and combat adaptation
Human identity is erased through the program	Identity is also reduced beneath weapon classification

Their conflicts show that Polezah’s creations are not automatically loyal to one another.

They remain tools competing within a system that values results over solidarity.

Relationship with Doctor Polezah

Doctor Polezah becomes the modern overseer of the Harpy Project.

His relationship to the Harpies is institutional rather than parental.

He views them through:

• survival rates;
• training outcomes;
• physiological performance;
• obedience;
• mission success;
• failure analysis.

The language of creation may make him appear fatherlike, but his actual role is closer to:

• designer;
• physician;
• experimenter;
• program administrator;
• owner.

Polezah’s improvements reduce waste while increasing the number of usable operatives.

Relationship with the Dark Alpha

Alpha is the political center of Harpy loyalty.

The project exists to produce weapons capable of protecting and serving him.

Harpies are expected to place Alpha above:

• family;
• self-preservation;
• friendship;
• private morality.

Their deployment against Gia shows that Alpha trusts them to operate independently on a critical front.

Their deaths also reveal a limit to that trust.

Even the most conditioned weapons can be defeated by an opponent who understands them.

Relationship with Sakori

Sakori becomes one of the Harpies’ most important opponents.

He does not treat them as unknowable monsters.

He studies them as trained fighters.

This allows him to recognize:

• formation;
• timing;
• repeated attack patterns;
• the moment hesitation enters the unit.

His victory demonstrates that Harpy conditioning creates extraordinary efficiency but may also create predictability.

The same training that allows three operatives to move as one may allow a prepared opponent to anticipate the whole unit.

Sakori also distinguishes between the Harpies individually.

He kills two and spares Zinetha.

This proves that he does not view every member as an identical object even when Nebu does.

Personality and individuality

The Harpies do not possess one shared personality.

The program attempts to standardize behavior, but individual differences survive.

Possible traits include:

• calm;
• aggression;
• fear;
• loyalty;
• hesitation;
• attachment;
• self-preservation;
• cruelty;
• obedience;
• rebellion.

Zinetha’s survival is especially important because it reveals that the person beneath the designation can still make a choice.

Power assessment

A completed Harpy is considerably more dangerous than an ordinary human fighter.

Known strengths include:

• superhuman or Ka’ru-enhanced speed;
• high strength;
• coordinated combat;
• pain resistance;
• infiltration;
• lethal precision;
• training from childhood;
• emotional conditioning;
• ability to scale difficult terrain;
• multi-angle attacks.

However, Harpies are not invincible.

Known limitations include:

• patterned training may become predictable;
• attachment can compete with obedience;
• fear can interrupt formation;
• elite Ka’ru warriors can overpower them;
• engineered loyalty is not absolute;
• coordinated units weaken when one member is removed;
• individual Harpies can be injured, killed or psychologically destabilized.

The assault on Gia demonstrates both sides of the program.

Three Harpies capture an entire defensive wall within minutes.

Sakori then destroys the formation after recognizing its pattern.

Known deaths and survivors

Confirmed deaths

Confirmed Harpy deaths include:

• two members of the southern-wall unit during the assault on Gia;
• other unnamed Harpies or failed candidates implied across the program’s history.

The total number of dead Harpies is unknown.

Confirmed survivors

Zinetha survives the assault on Gia.

Other Harpies survive the Training Tower Incident after Khalembo chooses not to execute them.

The complete status of every known unit remains unclear.

Character and faction analysis

Weaponized identity

The Harpy Project begins by removing names.

This reveals its central belief:

A person is easier to control when she cannot refer to a self that existed before the institution.

The program replaces biography with classification.

Perfection as tragedy

The completed Harpy is described as a perfect weapon.

That perfection is tragic because it depends upon destroying or suppressing:

• memory;
• recognition;
• love;
• private desire;
• ordinary choice.

The more perfectly the program succeeds, the less of the original child remains visible.

The female weapon system

The Harpy Project is specifically designed around female candidates.

It weaponizes assumptions surrounding:

• beauty;
• vulnerability;
• sexuality;
• access;
• social perception.

The program does not reject femininity.

It converts femininity into a mission tool.

Sisters without childhood

Harpies may function as sisters in combat, but the program denies them the ordinary relationships through which sisterhood develops.

Their bond is built through:

• shared pain;
• synchronized training;
• dependence;
• institutional isolation.

This makes the death of one Harpy both a tactical loss and a possible emotional rupture.

Obedience is never complete

Zinetha’s hesitation and later actions demonstrate that conditioning cannot fully erase human choice.

The story does not suggest that recovery is simple.

It suggests only that the person may still exist beneath the weapon.

Harpies and Sakori

Sakori’s victory carries thematic meaning beyond physical combat.

The Harpies represent people taught that survival requires becoming exactly what the system commands.

Sakori represents someone trained by violent people who still chooses what his strength will protect.

The fight contrasts:

• obedience and purpose;
• programming and experience;
• coordinated design and individual choice.

The message of the severed heads

Sakori’s use of the two heads is deliberately brutal.

He turns the products of Polezah’s system into a message for Alpha.

The image reverses the project’s intended meaning.

The Harpies were supposed to demonstrate Nebu’s control.

Their heads demonstrate that control can fail.

Themes

The Harpies are associated with themes including:

• children shaped into weapons;
• identity erasure;
• institutional violence;
• obedience and free will;
• weaponized femininity;
• the cost of perfection;
• human beings treated as property;
• survival through conditioning;
• the persistence of individual choice;
• family language used as ownership;
• engineered loyalty;
• trauma hidden beneath efficiency;
• the difference between a weapon and a warrior.

Selected quotations

You should run.

— Sakori warning the Harpies at Gia

We don’t run.

— A Harpy responding to Sakori

That’s why two of you are going to die.

— Sakori

Run. Tell them what’s coming.

— Sakori sparing Zinetha

Status

The Harpy Project remains active during the latest confirmed period.

Individual Harpy status varies.

Known outcomes include:

• two Harpies killed by Sakori during the assault on Gia;
• Zinetha surviving the assault;
• Harpies surviving Khalembo’s Training Tower confrontation;
• failed candidates remaining within Polezah’s wider laboratory system;
• some Harpies developing attachments or acting outside expected obedience.

The final fate of the program has not been revealed.

Legacy

The Harpies are remembered as:

• Nebu’s engineered female assassin line;
• Alpha’s specialized guard and covert weapons;
• survivors of a program beginning in early childhood;
• symbols of Polezah’s ability to refine human beings into products;
• one of the most feared coordinated units in the Tribal Universe;
• the force that captures Gia’s southern wall in under two minutes;
• the weapons Sakori defeats during his defense of Gia;
• evidence that conditioning can suppress identity without always destroying it completely.

Their role in Tribal Comics Issue 4 changes them from background institutional horror into visible battlefield antagonists.

The comic shows what a completed three-Harpy unit can accomplish.

It also shows what happens when the unit meets someone who understands that engineered perfection still contains patterns, limits and human hesitation.
