Black Wolf Pack

The Black Wolf Pack were a group of minor characters who appeared in the Season One episode The Black Wolf.

In The Black Wolf
Little is known about the Black Wolves. Xena is brought into their circle when her old friend Hermia is saved by Xena from the guards of Xerxes. Hermia tells Xena that her daughter Flora has fallen in love with the leader of the Black Wolf Pack. Worried that her daughter could be killed, Hermia begs Xena for help. Xena goes to Xerxes, who is desperate to find the Black Wolf and devises a plan to help him find and kill the person by sending her inside the prison as a sympathizer so she can gain the wolves' trust.

Organization of the Black Wolf Pack
The Black Wolves follow a lone member as a leader. Nothing is done without the consent of the Black Wolf. The pack displays a fierce loyalty to the leader, often putting themselves in danger. If someone should come looking for the Black Wolf looking for retribution, the wolves will take up a cry, with each person claiming that he or she is the Black Wolf.

The true leader of the Black Wolves
At first, Xena believes that Flora's lover Diomedes is the leader of the Black Wolves, until she realizes his love for Flora. When Diomedes does as Flora tells him, Xena recognizes that she is, in fact, the Black Wolf. With this in mind, Xena saves Flora from execution.
