As a teenager in 1970s London, young punk rocker Victoria was abducted by Houngan, a lecherous voodoo priest. Much older than his youthful appearance suggested, the houngan- then operative under the name Joe Mayhem- collected Victoria and other young souls like her, forcing them into debauched rites and practices that fueled his immortality. Victoria observed Joe's rites closely, and on breaking free, used their power for herself. Years later she would return to London to exact her revenge on Joe Mayhem and so-called friends who had placed her in his power. Ever the rebel, Punk Mambo left Mayhem humiliated, but alive.

Alyssa Miles takes a skull to Punk Mambo in order to enlist her help in freeing Jack of the Shadowman loa's influence. Mambo recognizes that Alyssa loves Jack, even as she recognizes that Punk Mambo is concerned for his well-being. In the following issue, Mambo helps Jack find his father, but indicates that the cost may be something precious to him: Alyssa. She also offers Jack a position as her pupil, which the Shadowman flatly refuses. Later, when Punk Mambo meets with Alyssa, the mambo reveals she sees Jack being useful to her someday.

When MI-6 needed an occult expert to guide a team into the Deadside, they naturally turned to the most mystically accomplished British national they could find.
