King Kgosi Nnyere (Literally meaning "Chief Buffalo" in Northern Sotho) is a character in Far Cry 2.

Biography

He is the former king of the Unnamed African Country. Shortly after the country gained independence, he fled into exile which he took from the country's mines. The country became a republic afterwards as it later had a president as noted by several NPCs (who himself fled shortly before the collapse of the central government, and died in mysterious circumstances in-exile).

He is an extremely arrogant man, as he seems to believe that only he can stop the anarchy happening in the UAC by ruling over it as king, despite the fact that he's part of the reason why the civil war is still occurring.

Role in-game

King Nnyere is responsible for the worsening of the conflict in the country, as, according to Joaquin Carbonell, he was playing two sides against the middle, dealing with both APR and UFLL, with the promise of his gold.

During the events of Far Cry 2, he returns to the country along with all his gold and his son, Prince Oeduard, and makes a deal with Oliver Tambossa, his former ally, in an attempt to restore the monarchy and his legacy, and pass the throne on to his son before he dies. Tambossa takes the King's gold under his protection in the Oasis and sets up a residence for the King in the Legion Fort. Leon Gakumba doesn't want the King to return to power, so he contracts the player to find the King's gold and send its location to him and Carbonell.

If the player subverts Gakumba's mission and meets up with his buddy, the buddy will reveal that Prince Oeduard is looking to have his father assassinated. Oeduard wants to take possession of Nnyere's signet ring, which will grant him access to his father's bank account in Belgium. If the player chooses to assassinate the king, he will have to go to the King's residence in Legion Fort and kill the King in his room on the second floor in the easternmost tower of the Fort.

After the King is assassinated, the player will have to take the ring from the King's body and return it to Prince Oeduard.

It is unknown what happened with the King's gold after the UFLL got the stash's location. Presumably, Gakumba used it to fuel the UFLL's war against the APR.

Trivia

• When approached, the King will tell the player that if something happens to him, Oeduard will eat the player's heart, not knowing anything about his son's plans. If the player waits for too long before killing Nnyere, he will draw out a Star .45 pistol that he will use to defend himself.
