Biography
Little is known about Huchum. According to the info the American and Chinese intelligence have gathered about him he was born in Jerusalem as a Palestinian. The tensions between Israel and Palestine and the death of his oldest brother who was killed by Tsahal Forces during an Intifada made him grow a deep hatred against Israel and its allies. He left the family house at the age of 17 and joined multiple guerrilla groups scattered about the Middle East in their fight against Western powers. His whereabouts remained a total mystery until the 2013 War, where he joined the GLA as a promising commander. It is said that his knowledge in armored vehicles made him a precious asset for the GLA as he was able to elaborate massive assaults with tanks. How he acquired such knowledge and skills was subject to many theories among American and Chinese Intelligence but the likeliest was that he acquired that knowledge from his father who was a mechanic and that he had an unquestionable talent for vehicles and machinery. However the American and Chinese military put an end to the GLA threat, or that is what they thought. Still Huchum - despite being one of the world's most wanted men - was never found and was then presumed dead or at least no longer a nuisance. Again nothing was known of his whereabouts until 2023 where GLA rose up from its ashes and started striking back. Huchum - in the meatime promoted general - General Juhziz, Prince Kassad and Dr Thrax joined their efforts against Western powers. There Huchum built a powerful tank called the Karkadann. With its help he destroyed the Israel-Palestine Wall and drove the Israelis out of Jerusalem, where he established his headquarters.

Trivia
Huchum's portrait is based upon the GLA commander featured in one of the Command & Conquer: Generals promotional posters with one difference: his head remains the same but he was edited with a different body.
