XIII Mystery, Vol. 1: The Mongoose

Explore the lives of some of XIII’s most memorable characters. He was XIII’s most dogged enemy from the start, but who really was the Mongoose, that mysterious assassin-for-hire who nearly killed the amnesiac hero so many times? During an encounter between him and Kim Rowland—an event that took place just before the start of the XIII series—the merciless hitman tells the story of his childhood and how he became a contract killer. 'Anyone would have in my circumstances,' he claims. But would they? You be the judge.
