History: Angel and her father Professor O'Day went on an expedition to Africa, where they found Sam Simeon, an intelligent ape from Gorilla City, and brought him home. Angel grew up with a massive inferiority complex because her half-sister Athena, although mentally deficient, was superstrong. Angel pushed herself to excel in physical and intellectual pursuits. As an adult Angel busted up a smuggling ring while working as translator for a shipping company, and used the reward money to open up a detective agency. She offered Sam a position, and they both excelled in their new niches.
