In 1902, Charles Burroughs the foremost expert in the Victorian era of cryptozoology - disappeared whilst exploring the congo. Famed for regulary capturing unknown species in the wild before the advent of portable photography, the whereabouts of his extensive collection of Lost Impossimal location paintings remained a mystery.

It is speculated that Charles was devoured by a Striped Foofalow - an impossimal renowned for its white teeth which it keeps in a jar when its not eating, whilst on his final expedition into the unexplored region of the Congo called Gwangu by the natives.

Many people had searched for Charles and his missing paintings, but it was when a youg scholar uncovered a battered and forgotton old crate at the National Museum of Antiquities that the mystery began to unravel. The crate contained the lost paintings and Charles' and his extensive notes which revealed the extrodinary life of the great explorer, of which we see today.
