The Cobra Mortals, a shadowy and enigmatic organization, have a lineage reaching back thousands of years. It is widely believed that their origins can be traced to India, where they emerged as a cult dedicated to Shesha, the revered king of all nagas, considered one of the primal entities in the tapestry of creation. Over time, this initially religious group turned into something much darker and more formidable.
Their history in the New World connects them to some of the earliest civilizations, notably the Norte Chico settlements of South America and the Olmec culture of Mesoamerica, suggesting that their influence has spanned both continents and significant epochs. The reasons behind their transformation from a spiritual sect into feared warriors remain shrouded in mystery. Despite their roots, the Cobra Mortals have long been synonymous with terror, striking fear into the hearts of those who hear their name.
Throughout the ages, records of their existence have been ambiguous, leading many to believe that they might have been eradicated completely. Although there have always been whispered tales of rouge assassins adopting the title "Cobra Mortal," reports of Cobra Mortals have emerged from all seven continents, with their mysterious presence even noted on the icy expanses of Antarctica. Concrete evidence linking them to the historical organization had yet to be discovered.
However, with the rise of the undead, it is becoming increasingly clear that the Cobra Mortals have endured and have aligned and pledged their allegiance to Cobra Commander.
Their true identity and origins remain unknown, yet their extensive and intertwined history suggests that they hail from diverse backgrounds spread across the globe. The enduring legacy of the Cobra Mortals highlights the haunting shadow they cast over those who dare to cross their path.
