Biography
Ollo was a gorilla military leader who resided in Ape City and held the rank of General. Ollo presided over a gladiatorial combat duel between two humans. The fight was overly quickly, leaving Ollo bored. To spice things up, he pitted two apes against one another. One of the ape warriors protested, declaring that such a game was in violation of the most sacred law of the apes – "Ape shall never kill Ape". Ollo had little regard for the old traditions however.

Moments later, one of his lieutenants approached him and announced that the chimpanzee physicians could not determine why Ollo's son, Grunt, was a mute. Ollo then conspired to destroy his child along with Ape City.

Two gorilla soldiers come upon the addle-brained Grunt amongst a grove of trees. They began teasing him for being a mute, but Grunt sprang into a violent rage and savagely murders the two guards.

Ape City leader, Alexander, suffering a personal crisis of conscious, decided to mount an expedition to the Forbidden City. General Ollo took advantage of Alexander's absence and staged a coup against the remaining city elders.
