Biography[]
The busboy was a young chimpanzee, who worked as an indentured servant in Northern California in the early 1990s. In 1991, he was working in a restaurant when he mis-handled the temperature of a grill burner, allowing the flames to fan out wildly. This caused the busboy to panic, and he fled into the back of the restaurant.
Later, the busboy became a member of Caesar's ape rebellion. Under Caesar's silent commands, he stole knives from the kitchen and added them to the ape leader's growing arsenal. When the revolution began, the busboy set the restaurant on fire. Proud of himself, he took a moment to admire his handiwork before running off.
