Sinatra

"A team is stronger than any individual."

Kanau "Sinatra" Maurice is the leader of the Rat Pack, a group of uplifted, trained African pouched rats. Kanau is a cheerful, smiling man from Sub-Saharan Africa - he won't say exactly where. After almost a decade sweeping mines, he wants to see what else he and his rats can do, and raise the publicity of the work that he and his people do saving lives.

Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:
Kamau Maurice is the son of an African warlord. After seeing the damage caused by landmines to those not involved in war, the young Maurice decided, when he was older, he'd do something about that. When a UNESCO minesweeping team arrived supported by giant pouched rats, Maurice fell in love, hopped up onto the 'rat bus' and asked to be given a job. The Rats (Known affectionately as the Rat Pack) are the result of a series of experiments at the Johannesburg Institute of Medicine into repairing various types of brain damage. Rather than cull them at the end of the experiment, the Rat Pack were trained as mine-sweeping rats, under the care of Kamau Maurice and several others. Seeing the potential of his 'little mine-hunters' for things other than mine-sweeping, Maurice asked if his superiors if he and some of the rats could apply for GI Joe. They agreed; if nothing else, it'll bring the work of the pouched rats in minesweeping to world attention.
