The man who was to become known as Desmond Humbolt was born to the
cannibal tribe of the Anziques several centuries ago. He was very nearly
prepared as a feast for the ravenous shaman of the tribe, as Anzique
custom dictates, when the tribe was attacked by a questing group of
shamans from various tribes. The shamans used Gray and White Gorillas as
their shock troops. Many Anziques were killed and the tribe was forced to
temporarily abandon their ancestral homelands as the conquering shamans
and their simian warriors danced strange esoteric rituals under the dark
void of the new moon.
In the chaos of battle, one Anzique infant was left behind. The shamans
ignored it's cries as they split asunder the barriers seperating them from
their beloved alien gods and goddesses. The Anziques shuddered in the
hills for months as wild apes cavorted in the lands they once knew. In the
stark aftermath of the latest abomination perpetrated upon the Anziques'
sacred ground; glistening black milk oozed into a ruined bone and hide
hut. The newest crawling member of the Anzique clan suckled upon the
bounty of a dark mother.
When the Anzique tribe timidly returned to their village, the ground was
gray and blasted. The apes scattered to the jungle. Of the shamans there
was no sign whatsoever. Nothing remained except for a fully grown warrior
clad in the ritual raiment of many tribes. The new warrior was less than a
year old, born of scorched earth and blinding lacerations in the screaming
skies.
It was soon evident to the Anziques that the newcomer was not welcome. He
was brutal and violent beyond even the harsh standards of the Anziques. He
would murder and devour all who approached him. He would not take a wife
and he would raid other tribes too frequently and talked often of bringing
ruin upon the Anziques. He was to be exiled, for his flesh was deemed
unclean, and unfit for consumption.
Gladly, he left the village of his birth to seek out war and destruction.
He raided tribes and sold slaves to the white men. He took whatever he
wanted from the weak and unfortunate. He sought out and gathered together
a band of madmen who pillaged the very souls of others. He fought in many
conflicts, and gathered knowledge.
Then, in the years when all the nations of the earth struggled against
each other, he met the German. The German told him of the great plan to
send all the lesser races of the world to breed in Africa as they pleased
while the Aryan ubermenschen would rule all else. This sounded like an
neverending bounty of sacrifices to him. He would assist the German.
From conflicts in the northern desert to the cold wastes of the land
beyond the northern sea, he fought, and learned, and grew in power. After
the war was lost he fled to the far south where the diamonds lay buried.
It was there that he took the name Desmond Humbolt. It was there that he
was found once more by the German, who now called himself "Bischofe." It
seemed as though the war would never end, and this suited him, for eternal
war was the natural state of man.
Suplemental
Desmond was so popular/inpopular, as a black pawn for the Karotechia, that
he spawned a lot of discussion on his own:
