Bio
Background – Jamal was one of the many child soldiers during the South African Border War that fought on the side of Angola. He was lucky to make it out alive as much as the South Africans butchered his people. There he developed his killer instinct and became a mercenary wandering Africa fighting in various brush wars for conflict diamonds and oil money. He did some work for the Archer Conspiracy in that capacity mostly escorting operatives through the brush to some other objective. Eventually Vargas offered him a full time gig and he accepted, now hes her go to man when some wetwork needs to get down quick and dirty.
He learned most of his unarmed combat techniques from the many former Western armed forces mercenaries. Showing great promise in that arena has led him to finish many opponents with his bare hands rather than resorting to a gun or machete.
Description – Jamal is a scary man, hes seen things that man should never do to each other and participated in some of the carnage. He seems to take it well though and likes gaudy accessories to contrast with his plainer clothing.
Attitude – Jamal is a quiet man, he doesn’t drink much and is deeply contemplative, what he is contemplating is a mystery to everyone.
