Biography[]
Background[]
Owethu Mabuza was born on April 18th, 1955, in Mbombela, South Africa, but not much is known about Mabuza or his past. By the 1980s, Mabuza would emerge from obscurity, and gained the nickname the "Jackal" due to his brutal tendencies. Owethu became the head of his own mercenary company and expanded its reach by destroying rival paramilitary groups in Africa. Jackal seems to have a social Darwinist belief, as when he destroyed paramilitary groups, he would recruit those who were strong and brutally execute those he deemed weak or not worth his time.
Due to his infamy in Africa, Jackal became connected to numerous backers who supplied his company with better weaponry. According to his in-game bio, the Jackal's origins are ambiguous, and those who know him don't speak of his past, presumably out of fear or respect. During this time, the Jackal's connections would go as far to the Perseus Spy Network, a rogue Soviet group under the command of "Perseus", who contacted the warlord. It's unknown why the Jackal joined the spy network, but it's assumed for more connections to get better weapons and equipment for his company, or simply expand his power in Africa.
