Biography[]

General Gnassingbe Eyadema (1935 - 2005 Inc.) was the president of Togo from 1967 until his incarceration in 2005. He participated in two successful military coups and became President in 1967. As president, he created a political party, the Rally of the Togolese People an headed an anti-communist single-part regime until the early 1990s. Despite being seriously challenged he consolidated power again and again willing several multiparty presidential elections.

Behind the scenes it seemed like most of those that opposed President Eyadema died at events and fundraisers that he wasn't anywhere near. Investigations went into the deaths of his political and social opponents however he always had airtight alibies and even shown in pictures taken while out of the country. Agents were sent in when it was revealed in toxin reports that the poison that killed the men and women consisted of valium, chloral hydrate, cyanide, Phenergan and grape Flavor Aid. None of which were discovered in any of the locations. The earliest reported mass killing of the President's enemies was in 1980 when the reforms started. Research into the staff at the parties uncovered several pro-Eyadema servers on the teams. General Faure Dadjo was discovered to be using the Jonestown Water Cooler to spike the wine at these events. It was Eyadema who first discovered the fatality of the liquid from the cooler after it was recovered and used to quench a few followers at a small party. Luckily for himself two people didn't drink anything, himself and General Dadjo. Scientists researched the dead bodies and the only link was that those dead believed in his cause so when he gave a cup to a captured enemy the man lived. In a turn of events Dadjo was ordered to stop believing in Eyadema and start to get on his opponents side. It is believed to be the reason Dadjo was able to kill the opposition to the Presidency.

Warehouse agents were able to confront Eyadema about his extensive use of the artifact to maintain his hold over Africa and after taking the cooler from him they learned that he had started to look for other artifacts since his time as President was coming to an end. Hoping to gain a powerful artifact that could let him enslave Africa to obey him again he escaped the agents and fled. He was recaptured a week later after he finished killing those who also knew of the existence of artifacts to prevent anyone else from control he rightfully saw as his own. This included killing three scientists and General Dadjo. Due to his declaration that he would never stop searching for the power of artifacts and stressing that if he couldn't have it he would expose it to the world Agents brought him in to be bronzed.
