Chisulo is an African elephant born near the Ngorongoro Crater (Tanzania). Chisulo was the only son of Watende, the leader of the herd and Inaya. From whenever he was born Chisulo supposed to step into the footsteps of his beloved father. Watende tought him everything he knew and at the age of 14 Chisulo seemed ready to take lead. That was until poachers disturbed their harmonious life.

The poachers set foot on the ground belonging Watende’s herd, with only one goal: to collect ivory. Watende tried to protect his family but harm was done from the moment they set foot. The elephants were outnumbered by the enemies and couldn’t force a thing. Some of the herd got away, some of them lost their lives.

Chisulo was lucky. As he was one of the strongest elephants of his herd (Chisulo means “strong as steel”, a name he didn’t stole), the hunters had other plans with him. They took away his tusks. But the anesthetics given to him for the long trip were not strong enough. After a fierce battle he managed to escape and totally disorientated Chisulo tried to find his herd. Unfortunately, he never saw any of them again.

After weeks of wandering around, lumberjacks in Kenya found the weakened animal and took care of him. They could use Chisulo to move heavy tree trunks. They adopted him an treated him like a friend. But after a year, a cruel civil war broke out in Kenya. Organizations collapsed and many people lost their life in combat, including his owners. At that moment Chisulo decided enough harm was done to him and he decided to take control and fight for the weak.

One day, in search for food he passed a deserted village which was entirely destroyed by the rebels. Under some fragments he found a rocket launcher belonging to the rebels. He started to practice and became an expert in launching rockets.

Years later he turned up in South Africa where he fought the rebels. At that time Rönguðr, Kaua and Bossies were on a mission in Botswana. From locals they’ve heard all kinds of stories about this strong elephant helping locals to drive out rebels. The team decided to search him and hoped to convince him to join the team. Chisulo didn’t agree immediately, but not long after all rebels were gone, he followed his new team to fight crime.

Qazibe is a Tasmanian Forester Kangaroo born in the South West Wilderness of Tasmania, Australia. When she was little, she grew up in a very religious environment where the basic values were to cherish your loved ones and help the weak. After a peaceful youth on the island she wanted to explore the world and left Tasmania to help people in need.

She volunteered as a first-aid nurse in the Australian Red Cross where she worked for two years. Doctors recognized her talents and transferred her to South Africa to fight against the HIV-virus. During her years as a nurse in South-Africa she became flawless in the technique of anesthesia. As a foreigner it wasn’t always easy to do her job but due to her strong nature she stood up to all kinds of problems.

When nurturing affected HIV-people in the slums of South Africa she met Bossies. When he got wounded because of the grenade that exploded next to his head, she took care of him during and after the operation. Bossies thanks his life to her and that’s how she wound up in the elite team of Creative Criminals.

Her role is to take care of ‘her’ boys when in combat, but if needed the team can count on Qazibe to weaken the enemy by anaesthetizing or drugging them.

We proudly present you a new Creative Criminal design. Starting today we will publish a new character each month.

Ernst, a castor fiber (European beaver) was born in Schwarzwald, a wooded mountain range in Baden-Württemberg, southwestern Germany. Due to the overpopulation of beavers in the Black Forest, Ernst and some of his friends travelled to Poland, said to be the Valhalla for beavers. He was only eight years old back then, yet he was clever and independent. On his trip he found an American bomb from World War II near Dresden. Together with his friends he detonated the bomb and fascinated by the force in such a small object, the only thing he wanted to do is blow things up.

After his studies in mechanical engineering and a PhD in chemistry he became a bomb disposal officer. But Ernst missed the adventure aspect in this job and became head of demolition works for a company that was specialized in bringing down large buildings.

One day the team needed an expert in explosives and through a connection in Russia Kauã and Ernst got in touch. Because of Ernst the mission succeeded sooner as expected and to thank him, Rönguðr provided him Cuban victory cigars. Since that day Ernst got hooked on these cigars and became an official member of the team.

Bossies was born in the slums of Cape-Town, South Africa. When he was a kid he suffered from a severe form of attention deficit disorder, because of this he never went to school. He wound up as a member of a gang that controlled a big part of the slums.

Bossies is not his real name, it’s his nickname, meaning going totally crazy in South African. One day a grenade blew up right next to his head and there is still some shrapnel stuck in his brain. Since that day he has gone insane.

After some years the situation in the South African slums really escalated and Bossies had to flee the country. He joined a Cuban militia of freedom fighters; this is where he got his hat. He learned all the tricks of guerilla fighting, and of course the joy of Cuban rum and cigars.

He met Rönguðr a couple of years later when he was providing him of illegally imported Cuban cigars. Since those days these two became inseparable. Rönguðr is the only one who can control Bossies a little bit.

Kauã originates from Tamarin (a tribe from Golden Lion Monkeys) in the Atlantic Rainforest near South-East Brazil. He was born blind and pretty soon his mother abandoned him because of his handicap. Determined to survive he learned to look with his ears and kept on living.

In the 70’s hunters were hired to provide the rich people in Asia with monkey meat. Kauã got captured and was taken to China. Before they tried to slaughter him, he was able to escape. Lost in China, a monk of the Shaolin temple noticed the remarkable monkey and took him under his wings.

Kauã learned from his master, special Martial Arts techniques and became a true fighter. He’s deadly with his bare hands and with his favorite weapons, the shuriken and numb-chucks he’s able to fight several men at the same time. On the deathbed of his master, he promised to follow the path of the good and fight for the weak.

During a mission of Rönguðr in China, he got into trouble with local villains because of his smuggling. Kaua helped Rönguðr by defending him and offered him shelter. The two got to know it each other and Rönguðr offered him a place in his mercenaries team.

We present you the first Creative Criminal called Rönguðr. Due to popular demand we will present all three creative animals this month. Starting in January we will present a new creative animal each month.

His name is Rönguðr and he was born on Antarctica in de early 50’s. How he managed to reach civilization is unknown. Many believe that he travelled to Australia with a Russian expedition team; after they had just lost two men trying to reach the South Magnetic Pole.

Rumors go that he worked for the Australian Secret Intelligence Service as a strategic commander during missions in Iran, although this has never been confirmed.

After years of wandering around the globe he turned up in Great Britain, where he managed to obtain a C-130 military transport aircraft, with which he smuggled whiskey and cigars during operation Desert Storm.

Now he is the leader of an elite group of mercenaries from around the world. He is the one with the most experience of the group, as a true leader he guides his members trough their missions. Because you can always count on him some consider him as their father.
