Origin[]
Congo Smith and his partner, Limey Gubbins, are ruthless illegal ivory hunters in Africa. Taking advantage of a native village in their hunt for ivory, they shoot some of the villagers they find harvesting ivory from a dead elephant.
Enraged, Congo kills the villagers then returns to the village to confront the village shaman, Nyoko. Congo whips Nyoko to death. Congo and Limey continue their search when the ghost of Nyoko, whom Congo fails to recognize, points out the way to the Realm of the Mist Gods. The greedy pair believe there is an untold of wealth of ivory there. They search for the realm, but are soon hopelessly lost, not realizing they are in the realm. In their madness, Congo strikes Limey, accidentally killing him. An elephant attacks and kills Congo near the village.
