After being abandoned by his parents, Axel found himself accepted into a pack of wild dogs near Talcahuano and spent the next few years scavenging through rubbish to find enough food to eat. When he was discovered by humans again he was quickly dubbed the Dog Boy and found himself thrust into the media frenzy which ensued. Interest in him spread across the globe and brought all kinds of experts to Chile. Axel spent a long time being examined by one expert after another, and he even managed to escape several times, although he was always recaptured. One time he even attempted to swim away into the Pacific Ocean.

The authorities tried to set Axel up with a foster home as he grew older but all attempts failed. Axel was either not accepted or else he found ways to make the families change their minds.

And then Dr Joseph Mengele became involved, sending his young uberhuman charges to kidnap the Dog Boy. Back in his Argentinean compound Mengele began to experiment on Axel, traumatising the boy with torture and combat training against the older children. Mengele was pleased with the results and Axel soon became one of his Kinder Der Zukunft.

S.A.G.E., in turn, managed to kidnap Axel away from Mengele, and returned him to Chile where he was again accepted into the care of the government. While S.A.G.E. kept an eye on the boy for several months they soon found themselves draw away into other emergencies.

In 2006, the fifteen year old Axel found himself drawn to the rhetoric of Junta who were continuing to devastate the Chilean capital with military strikes to destabilise the government. Although he couldn't read, Axel found himself mesmerised by the television and when Tupungato called for all interested ubers to congregate at Tupungato mountain the following week, Axel escaped from foster care and travelled the perilous journey with hope in his heart.

Tupungato knew that by advertising the meeting point he would draw out the authorities.

When Axel and the other hopeful ubers arrived, Junta was set upon by the Southern Knights, members of Sanctity and various independent South America superheroes. Junta was ready for them, and launched their own attack, ambushing the heroes. Tupungato had replaced himself and the other members of Junta with actors and managed to outflank the heroes. With the assistance of Gauntlet, Junta was victorious and managed to send the heroes packing, while also recruiting several important ubers, including young Axel.

Axel was impressed with the military tactics of Tupungato and has since regarded him as the Alpha Male whose orders and wishes are to be obeyed without question.

Axel is an uberhuman who has been exposed to an unusual upbringing. It is theorised that his ubergene only activated in response to his surroundings so that he has exhibited dog-like and survival abilities. His time with Mengele has heightened those abilities as well as allowing him to become more proficient with hand to hand combat. As Perro Nino, he serves Junta as a tracker and sentry.

Axel is a wiry young man with wild brown eyes and tussled brown hair. His face is always clean shaven, and his skin is smooth and olive. His upbringing has made him prone to fight or flight tendencies so he always stands on the balls of his feet and is extremely agile and graceful. Even after living amongst humans for years Axel prefers to be alone and cares little for clothing apart from the barest of clothes to hide his privates. He has recently become a little shy amongst women, although this shyness can give way quickly to bestial urges (something he is increasingly embarrassed about).

The Junta Uniform is a dark green with gold piping.
