Anabebe

Anabebe is Tarchans best friend. He is a member of Africas strongest warrior clan the Upopo Clan and is the only person considered Tarchans equal. He at one time fought with Tarchan over Jane but gave up after seeing how fat she had become. His tribe later awarded him with the homely Zubeta as a wife. Anabebe was at one time a stoic warrior but after winning the Yunker Empire Tournament he becomes rich and is more of a gag character. He even builds a mansion in the middle of the savanna. The mansion is heavily guarded with dobermans in the garden and Anabebe says they are to keep lions and cheetahs from entering. After winning the tournament he began to show signs of cowardice running from strong opponents. Although his abilities are quite good he usually loses. The Upopo law forbids him from using weapons or cowardly techniques. Although his tribal law states he must take his own life if defeated he never does. Eventually he goes bankrupt and returns to his poor warrior ways.
