Editing Ogun (section)

==History==
===Background===
Ogun rose to prominence after he tried to mount a political coup in Addis Ababa against the resident warlord, Adroa, with the tacit support of western allies due to spouting a progressive agenda. After this failed, Ogun attempted a more martial takeover, embroiling the region in a four-year civil war.<ref name=WDH2>'''History:'''<br/>The city of Addis Ababa was a thriving area. This came about at the hands of Adroa, a relatively benevolent warlord.  Ogun mounted a political coup, and managed to stave off international intervention by pointing to Adroa’s ill-treatment of women, gays, and parahumans.  When the civil coup failed, Ogun turned to a military coup, and his prior contact with international parties carried over, delaying their reaction as a four year civil war unfolded.  Ogun ultimately lost, with thousands having died in the confrontation.  Given the difficulty in containing him, and as an apologetic measure for the late intervention, Western groups offered to inter Ogun in the Birdcage. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Mj6LykIKPlkaMg3uDbjBKHEkBJVNvX8bH7RRp-IFes/edit#heading=h.av8dz55g63ow Wildbow's Weaver Dice: Helena document]</ref>
===Story Start===
At the start of the story, Ogun was embroiled in a four-year civil war that devastated the city of Addis Ababa and the surrounding region, killing thousands, including many noncombatants. His western allies turned on him, intervening and removing him from what little power he had. As an apology for their reticence to be involved, the western powers agreed to intern the otherwise elusive Ogun in the [[Baumann Parahuman Containment Center]].<ref name=WDH2/>
===Post-[[Timeskip]]===
Ogun escaped the containment convoy transporting him to the Birdcage, along with three other prisoners. He had a kill order out for him along with his fellow prisoners, but avoided being killed.<ref name=WDH/>
===[[Gold Morning]]===
Ogun was presumably enlisted by [[Rise of Khepri|the goddess]] to fight in her war.
===Post-[[Mathers Compound Assault|Fallen fall]]===
Ogun was given the general amnesty made available to all supervillains after Gold Morning, but continued to make himself a problem for [[the Wardens]], to the point that he was mentioned in the same breath as [[Sleeper]] and the [[Machine Army]].<ref>“Not taking over, and not doing what they did,” I said.  “They’re- you’re, if you want, you’re still a fixture.  But the Wardens were always focused on the top-level threats.  Distant wars.  Class-S stuff.”<br/><br/>“Ogun,” Weld said.  “Sleeper.  Machine Army.  And a bunch of other things I can’t even namedrop, because they’re classified.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/07/beacon-8-2/ Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.2]]</ref><!--

He was likely targeted by [[Teacher]] or others in an attempt to collect powerful parahumans,<ref>“Time is of the essence.  [...] Your Valefor is healed and gone.  Warlords from your old Earth have been snatched up, and people don’t yet know.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/08/25 Excerpt] from [[Gleaming 9.2]]</ref> if he had not already been outright dealt with.-->
