The mamba mutu are mythic creatures, half-women and half-crocodile, who ensnare and drown unwary fishermen in the lakes and rivers of the Congo. While not mythic in origin, the woman who calls herself Mamba Mutu has drawn upon the fear and suspicion of the local myth. Since operating in and around Kinshasa for nearly three years she has brought an atmosphere of fear and paranoia into the criminal underworld of that city.

It's unknown exactly what drove Frenchwoman Marie-Louise Sechan to take on the persona of Mamba Mutu. She was born in Lyon, France and her father had dealings in Kinshasa, particularly in the banking industry, although he died when she was thirteen. Her activities in Kinshasa are not well documented and have probably been destroyed by Sechan herself. What is known is that she worked in one of her father's former banks for several months but then promptly disappeared.

Although Mamba Mutu has not been connected with Sechan, it has been reported that Mamba Mutu has a terrible scar across her shoulder and arm, the result of a vicious crocodile attack. It can be assumed that the attack occurred after her disappearance from Kinshasa and may have been the catalyst for her transformation into Mamba Mutu.

Her activities have generally involved the intimidation and murder of criminals and militia groups from Rwanda, although she has also shown an interest in stealing from banks or rich households when the need arises. She is hunted by the police but is currently seen more as a vigilante than a villain. Africa Force believes Mamba Mutu will be an ally when the Sons of Set arrive in Kinshasa, although Mamba Mutu herself has openly shown an interest in the Egyptian sect.

The future remains a mystery where she is concerned, although she will maintain her merciless attack on criminals.

Mamba Mutu relies primarily on her crocodile chain which is a heavy martial art weapon with a blade at one end. She can use this chain in close and ranged combat, as well as using it to spin into a shield which can deflect incoming attacks. She has also collected a series of gadgets including throwing blades, counter security devices and flares. These devices run on electricity and are recharged when placed back in her utility belt through a battery charging unit. Her gloves contain microscopic climbing claws which enable her to scale walls, and her mask (while appearing quite intimidating) also provides her with heightened and protected senses.

In addition to her chain and utility belt, Mamba Mutu possesses high levels of physical fitness, strength and agility. She is a well trained martial artist and quite ferocious in combat seemingly unwilling to let any opponent escape.

Sechan is In her thirties, has brown hair to her shoulders and curious brown eyes. She has a large crocodile bite on her shoulder and upper arm from an unexplained encounter. It appears as a semi-circle and is quite noticeable. She has cast off her civilian identity so when out of costume she rarely gives much thought to how she looks. She doesn't work and often sleeps during the daylight hours, in an apartment she rents in Kinshasa.

As Mamba Mutu she takes on a truly frightening visage. She wears a mask with a wide fanged mouth and lime-green lenses. Her bodysuit is dark olive green and she wears darker green boots and gloves, tipped with lighter green finger gloves. She wears a dark brown-green hooded cloak lined inside with tan, and carries her heavy chain weapon, often slung over her shoulder.
