6. Special Magical Weapon (Teke Totem Mask)  The Teke Totem Mask that Imumu wears is an ancient spiritual relic that is powered by the magic of the Nkir (ancient well-known ancestor spirits).

Body Power (Longevity): The magic of Imumu's ancestors keep his body youthful. Imumu's lifespan is ten times that of a normal human.           b. Heightened Senses: [Panther's Nose] King Panther's sense of smell is as sensitive as a panther's and he can recognize a person by their scent alone. He can instantly recognize individual scents equalling twice that of his Int score (28 people). [Track by Scent] King Panther must make a Cha roll per hour (on d20, -1 per hour of trail) or else lose the trail.

7. Weakness (Special Requirement):  King Panther must perform sacred rituals once per month during a full moon or risk the danger of losing touch with his respected ancestor spirits (which will rob him of the powers of his staff and mask). A standard ritual involves King Panther burning various choice herbs and chanting/meditating while invoking his ancestors. Should King Panther miss a ritual, he must atone for it with a special week long fasting ritual in which he asks for his ancestors' forgiveness. As long as hhis he show his ancestors' the proper respect, he continues with the power they have given him.

Origin and Background: (African)  Since Imamu was a boy, he studied the mystical arts as they were taught to him by his father, and his father before him. When Imumu passed the initiation into manhood, he took on the mantle of his tribe's shaman. Unfortunately for his tribe, their first encounter with Belgian Explorers in AD 1885.         His family were killed and his tribe scattered. Imumu became King Panther and fought against the terror regime of King Leopold II of Belgium who used the Congo as his personal plantation to extract rubber and ivory through the use of slave labour (reinforced by mass killings and maimings).         Many years have passed since the days of King Leopold II, but King Panther continues his struggle against oppression, cruelty, greed and the destruction of the land that he holds sacred.
Legal Status:  Does not recognize the Republic of Congo as being legitimate (he follows a much older path) and as such, this has brought him into conflict with the Congolese Government. His dealings with the rebel factions haven't always been friendly either.
