Character History
We first meet Hurley in Ep. 20: Petals to the Metal - Chapter 3 when she literally swoops in at the very last second to save Magnus, Taako, and Merle from The Raven, who has nearly killed them all. She hits a great karate pose (maybe Crane-style) and yells to Sloane that she isn’t a killer.

Her Battle Wagon alias is The Ram, and she wears a mask that features two spiral ram’s horns. Her battle wagon features two ram’s horns right on the front, and is very sleek and incredibly dangerous.

Relationship between Sloane and Hurley, AKA The Raven and The Ram
Hurley tells the trio about their backstory in Ep. 21, beginning under the influence of the Zone of Truth and continuing later (29:40) in her Battle Wagon garage.

Hurley was investigating The Raven and trying to apprehend her for petty crimes, when they became very close. The relationship between Sloane and Hurley began thanks to Battle Wagon Racing. Hurley was placed in charge of the investigation of the small-time criminal. Hurley didn’t know that she was a Battle Wagon racer, but once she found out, Hurley was seduced… by racing.

Hurley took on the alias of The Ram, and the two of them began to work and race together, even though Hurley was still a cop. The two of them made a great team, and they “ran clean,” which is to say they didn’t harm any of the other racers unnecessarily.

It began to “break bad” about a month prior to the events of Story 3: Petals to the Metal. Sloane began to develop superhuman, godlike powers. She started to change, becoming distant and violent on the track, even taking out another wagon in a race, and two of the people on that wagon died.

Hurley and Sloane stopped racing together after that.

In the month between that and Hurley getting involved with Magnus, Taako, and Merle, Sloane had been swallowed up by these powers, but Hurley insists she’s terrified. Last time they’d spoken, Sloane had told her how afraid she was to develop these powers she can’t control and that the only thing she wanted was proof that there was something more powerful than her. She wanted to know that she could someday be rid of the power, possibly.

Hurley has been working on her battle wagon every since, trying to build something that could beat The Raven. With the help of Magnus, Taako, and Merle (or… perhaps despite their “help,”) Hurley thinks she can beat The Raven in Battle Wagon Racing. Can she? Tune in to the Petals to the Metal to find out! Or... just continue reading the character history.
