Story
Ogundimu betrays Adeyemi.
Adeyemi inherited the Doomfist gauntlet from Ngumi, but was far from a hero. Instead, he became a warlord.[2] He joined Talon, carrying out raids on Numbani. At some point he recruited a disillusioned Akande Ogundimu as a mercenary, and eventually introduced him into the Talon organization, acting as his mentor. Though the Talon council considered Adeyemi a useful asset, they came to favor Ogundimu for his superior ambition, intelligence, and leadership abilities. In the aftermath of the Venice Incident, Adeyemi was killed by his former pupil, and Ogundimu claimed the Doomfist gauntlet and title as his own.[1]
