## Biography

Muselard was born in the 1rst arrondissement of Lyon on the 18th of October 1956 to a Jewish family originating from Israel. At the age of 19 he started studying law at the faculty of law of Lyon but abandoned it after six months, allegedly due to his mother's suicide. After the death of his mother he became angry at his father, blaming her suicide on him, as his father was a known alcoholic and had slept with many women during their marriage, so he moved to Paris, where he became affiliated with a Moroccan gang leader Amaniyy Mansouri. Muselard quickly rose through the ranks of Mansouri's organization and eventually became a son to the elderly mobster, so when Mansouri was assassinated by a rival gang on the 7th of January 1984 he became temporary leader of the gang, and eventually avenged his death.

Muselard ran the gang for a couple of years until Mansouri's old friend and accomplice Mossa was released and started questioning Muselard's leadership, leading to losses in loyalty amongst his gang. After a while Mossa eventually got tired of waiting and entered Muselard's house, shot three of his men and severely beat him with a crowbar, and in a way, put an end to his reign as leader of the Moroccan gang after three years. After this Muselard was found by one of his most loyal men, Baariq, in a dirty alleyway near the fifth arrondissement of Paris, and Baariq had his mother heal him, and in a period of three weeks Muselard was healed. Fortunately for Muselard Baariq had a cousin in Zimbabwe and by the early 2000s Muselard had moved to Bulawayo and formed a gang where he organized an elaborate weapon trade with the Bulawayo cartel.

For a total of twenty years Muselard was the Bulawayo cartel's only weapon supplier and a powerful man in Zimbabwe, however, that changed when the Bulawayo cartel got into contact with a Spanish weapons manufacturer Juan Sebastián Manzanedo, owner of numerous weapon factories throughout Europe (who, himself would be arrested two years later for government corruption, money laundering and embezzlement of public funds). Muselard having lots of knowledge about the cartel and not a necessity anymore, the cartel's chief Nhlalo Mjakada send one of his best hitmen Ntokozo Galu after him, so, when Muselard was passing through the village of Queen's Mine with his men in three jeeps he was stopped by members of the Zimbabwe Republic Police who asked for his papers. After trying to bribe the chief officer he took out his gun and tried to assassinate Muselard but was shot by Baariq before he could, leading to a gunfight, and, having heard the gunshots Galu and his men came out of a hut where they were drinking and headed towards the village. When Galu and his men opened fire on the jeeps they managed to shot four of Muselard's men and accidentally shot two of the policemen, leading to the police opening fire on them. Unfortunately for the two remaining policemen they were quickly shot by the two parties, and during the gunfight Muselard tried to run away but was hit in the leg and fell, distracting Baariq, who gets shot in the chest three times during the shootout. While Muselard tried to crawl away the rest of his men are shot by Galu and Galu quickly catches up to a dying Muselard, who shoots him two times in the chest.
