## Backstory

After the Omnic crisis, many countries had trouble with rebuilding their society and economy. South Africa was among those countries and it forced Kamau Nuru into becoming a mercenary to support his family. Kamau was part of a mercenary group known as "Shuck's Tooth" and was hired to reclaim a town that was annexed by Junkertown.  During his time as a mercenary, his wife Naila divorced him and was soon engaged to another man. Hearing this news, Kamau went AWOL and left with 7 teammates to return to South Africa before the wedding. Traveling through the wasteland, they were attacked by three women  who were enforced by The Queen of Junkertown to capture the men.

After failing the fight with the women (via hallucinogenics), the men were captured but they soon escaped when the women were attacked by bandits who wanted the bounty on the men. Kamau and the others were left wandering the outback to find a boat to South Africa. On their journey, they encountered an OR14 unit which was able to kill 4 men. Kamau was able to blind the droid and escape with the remaining three men while the droid was blindly shooting into the distance.  Before reaching a boat, they were attacked by a woman named Ava who used hallucinagenics to force the men into killing each other (they saw each other as demonic pigs), Kamau was the only survivor and he was able to knock out Paislee so he can escape. Finally getting a boat, Kamau was able to reach South Africa and convince his wife to remarry him.

Shortly after their remarriage, both Oba and his family were attacked by Gowan, Naila's ex-fiancee. Gowan drunkenly believed that Kamau was an unhealthy tumor on the family and that his bloodlust will be the death of Naila and Serwa. Kamau and Gowan fought and Kamau was able to brutally beat Gowan to death but upon witnessing Kamau's sadism, Naila divorced him and relocated with Serwa to an unknown country.  Broken by this act, Kamau wandered the world and became a bounty hunter known as "Shoat" after faking his death.
