Personality

Even then, he's a responsible father as he tries his best to fund the education for all his lovechildren.

Biography
2000s
Kaza was already “Jungle Lord” around 2000, when the Serpent Cult rained terror on the Naked Jungle and its surroundings. He was the one to eventually link the deaths and disappearances to the elusive Cult, and with his help, the Cult was defeated and the Serpent Priest disappeared. During this adventure, however, Kaza never realised that the Serpent Priest was more than a successful charlatan, nor that the Serpent Lord was a real — though not supernatural — creature. (COMIC: The Serpent Sorceress)
Against the Serpent Cult
By 2010, Kaza had been joined by Gwenna. When the two received an email from the Commissioner warning them that the Serpent Cult had been revived by the Serpent Priest's daughter Nerlana, Kaza headed directly to the Temple of the Serpent God, while Gwenna rode Zeb to the kraal near Buranda Pass to meet up with the Commissioner. At the Temple, he was ambushed by Nerlana herself, who displayed the power of her father's magical tiara to him by telepathically commanding a large number of snakes to bind and trap Kaza. She then announced to the Natari that she and her rebuilt Cult would make Kaza the first sacrifice to their god that very night.
Meanwhile, however, Gwenna foiled the assassin whom Nerlana had sent to the kraal to kill the Commissioner. The captured cultist let slip that Kaza was headed into a trap at the Temple, and the three drove in the Commissioner's car to the Natari village, where Gwenna, reunited with her friend Gana, they learned that the Serpent Cult had already announced to the villagers that they would sacrifice Kaza to the Serpent Lord that very evening. Recruiting Gana's finest warriors, they surrounded the Temple, but the situation ended up being resolved with minimal bloodshed when the Serpent Lord was revealed to be a very real, but non-supernatural, giant snake whom Wimberly shot at reflexively, breaking Nerlana's telepathic control on it and causing it to eat her instead of Kaza. (COMIC: The Serpent Sorceress)
Later events
At some point after leaving the Odds, Jenny Everywhere visited the Naked Jungle and met Kaza and Gwenna. She somehow managed to install a flat-screen TV in their jungle home. (COMIC: Whatever Happened to Jenny Everywhere?!)
