Mongal was completely silent for most of the mission, but after Blackguard's betrayal on the beach of Corto Maltese, and the battle that followed, she attempted to take down an enemy helicopter, even though desperately told not to by Rick Flag. The helicopter crashed, killing some soldiers, Captain Boomerang, and Mongal herself, dying from being burned alive.

## Personality

Mongal was tough, resilient, and aggressive, more than able to hold her own in a fight. However, she was very stubborn and instinctual, diving headfirst into a fight without thinking of the consequences, which ultimately got her and Captain Boomerang killed. She also seemed somewhat introverted, not conversing with any Squad members until in the heat of battle. And also slightly humorous, looking amused when Blackguard expressed his concern of being sat next to Weasel.
