Borg, also known as the Lost Predator[2], or Armored Lost Predator[3], was a Yautja encountered by Mike Harrigan aboard the Yautja Mother Ship hidden beneath Los Angeles in 1997. He was a member of the Los Angeles hunting party and later a member of the Rogue Space Tribe.
Biography[]
Borg and his clan mates were generally absent from the conflict in Los Angeles in 1997. However, they confronted Harrigan aboard their ship after he defeated the City Hunter in a hand-to-hand duel. Knowing Harrigan had won an honorable battle, they spared him, collecting the City Hunter's body while the party's leader Greyback honored the detective with an ancient flintlock pistol. Harrigan escaped the ship before Borg and the other Predators left Earth.[1]
At some point he was tricked into a heist job by the Bad Bloods Spiked Tail and Lasershot, stealing valuable technology that allowed a Mother Ship to travel far greater distances across the galaxy. Convicted as an accomplice of the theft, Lost had no choice but to flee alongside Spiked Tail and Lasershot to escape the High Council's Enforcers, becoming a reluctant member of the Rogue Space Tribe. Despite having no trust in his two new "partners", he conceded that this tribe is the only way for to continue hunting and maintain his honor. Like his partners, he specialized in hunting non-organic beings[4]

Trivia[]
- The Predator's name, "Borg", comes from his armor, which has a cybernetic appearance.
- A model of the character was released under the name "Lost Predator". However, this title is somewhat of a misnomer as the term "Lost Predators" was applied generally to all of the members of the hunting party seen in Predator 2 (not including the City Hunter) when the suits used to portray them were literally lost after filming was completed.
- While Borg does not wear a bio-helmet in the film, the Hot Toys model of the character features a helmet similar to another Predator from the hunting party, Boar.
- Borg notably lacked Wristblades in the film.
- He is among the few Predators to have his Plasmacaster on his right shoulder, alongside Stalker and the Fugitive Predator.
