Zebra 27

No dependable physical record of the man exists, and even the nation of his birth stays unknown. Analysts hold that he traded away his identity on at least one occasion, which throws his very standing as the recognized head of the Human Liberation Front into question.

Pinning down his politics is difficult, largely because he built his reputation well before attaching himself to the group, and gossip suggests he was recruited to lead it rather than drawn in by any shared cause. He is a cosmopolitan operator fluent across four tongues: English, Japanese, French, and Kirundi.

He built an unlawful fortune moving weapons through Burundi, one of the most crowded countries on the continent, directing his affairs from the capital at Bujumbura. In time he walked away from that seat of power and carried his Human Liberation Front operations over to Japan. Public Security Section 6 ranked among the agencies shadowing him, and a number of their experts suspect the figure now leading in Japan is not the same Zebra 27 who once operated out of Burundi. Others counter that the two are identical, pointing to how he withdrew from his old dealings after a large upheaval in South Africa laid bare the gaps in his protection.
