The female of the hybrid race of Ape Men who lived in an city in the Congo unexplored jungle that was considered as their goddess and therefore as head of the tribe. When the aristocratic explorer Sir Wade Jermyn found the city, the female avoided that he was killed by the male members of the tribe but made him welcome and made him a member to the point of becoming his wife. After some time of his stay in the tribe, Sir Jermyn returned to England with his wife, but there he made sure that no one could observe her closely, so they returned to Africa and there their only son Philip was born. Soon after, she died and he mummified her and the tribe of Ape Men worshiped the mummy as if it were their goddess. After a few generations, one of their descendants, the renowned poet and scholar Arthur Jermyn, recovered the mummy, but after observing her carefully, he realized that he himself was a product of the hybridization between his human ancestor and her, ending his life by setting himself on fire.[1]
