Detective Chimp

History
Bobo the Chimp was born on the 17th April, 1985 in the Congo Basin area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Bobo was captured when young and was raised by a former circus trained, Fred Thorpe, whom cared for him. Fred brought Bobo to Los Angeles where he was raised well and learnt how to live like a human.

Fred was killed in 2001 and Bobo managed to solve the crime and capture the murderer, a serial killer. Bobo adopted the name Detective Chimp and became a private investigator.

On one particular case, Detective Chimp came across the murder of a sorcerer hero. Chimp was surprised to discover a whole new world in the magical community and he solved the sorcerer hero’s murder. Bobo began to buy and trade magical artifacts which he used to fight evil magicians, using his intellect and skill to operate in a community where he wasn’t discrimimated for not being human.

When Bobo discovered that the evil sorcerer Anton Arcane had taken control of the Red, he knew he had to force the Parliament of Trees to make an avatar of the Green to stop Arcane from taking over the world or worse.

Bobo caused the creation of Swamp Thing and together they stopped Arcane, going their separate ways afterward. Bobo was then recruited by Baron Winters and joined the Night Force where he could stop magical threats as part of a team. When the Night Force was murdered by Baron Winters, he decided to create a new team to stop Winters.

Bobo is also a regular at the mystical Oblivion Bar, where he gets information and socialises with other magic users. His usual is steak and chips with a glass of Jack Daniel’s.
