General Ajak Gadet was a vicious South Sudanese warlord belonging to an extremely militant faction of the Shilluk Tribe, and led a rebel army without a home village. He also calls himself the Ferocious Animal owing to his brutal nature, and was serious enough of a threat that the National Security Agency had a file on him. In 2015, he was left critically injured during a conflict against a rival ethnic group known as the Tunjur people. His soldiers, who were just as brutal as their general, then proceeded to raid a makeshift hospital at Togu village, slaughtering all but three people.
