** An interesting example are the black Caribbean [[Mook|Mooks]]s of [[Quantum of Solace|Quantum]], who show up near the beginning in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where Dominic Greene meets with General Medrano.

The LRA is infamous for their cruel tactics: They abduct children to use them as [[Child Soldiers|soldiers]] or [[Sex Slave|sex slaves]], [[Mutilation Interrogation|mutilate their victims]], and massacre whole villages. Their leader, Joseph Kony, is also widely regarded as a [[Complete Monster]], or at least [[Ax Crazy|completely insane]].
