The Udaku are a crime-syndicate in South Africa who have been in powers for hundreds of years. They have risen to power control the court systems. They have performed genetic testing to harness spontaneous combustion in human Udaku members. They expanded to New York City where they began taking out the Sangiacomo crime family. They began influencing various police squad members as well as political officials. However, Sam Burke and Twitch Williams soon learned of their existence and put a stop to their stateside leader, Cecilia Udaku.
