Zagmus
Known Aliases: Kifo(Death)
Rank: Sentinel
Alignment: The Outsiders
Gender: Male
Age: 10
Personality: The best way to describe this lion is, well, apathetic. He never seems interested in anything, and he never seems to even flinch when threatened or yelled at. He is a male who with look at another, and not show the slightest fraction of emotion asides from looking constantly pissed off from his slightly scrunched muzzle and tooth that likes to stick out from time to time. However underneath all the apathy, and neutrality, Zagmus is a complex fellow dealing with a lot on a daily basis. He can find certain social cues hard to pick up on, and is constantly having issues dealing with his own thoughts.
He seems to suffer from some form of PTSD and while it's rare will get finicky in certain situations. That being said, despite not openly showing it, Zags is fiercely protective over those he cares about and is more then willing to show tooth and claw, as well as use them, to protect what he has.
Backstory:As 'legend' goes, Zagmus was supposedly a lion that was born in the shadow lands. Who lived and died, and was blessed by a god and revived from the grasp of death. Thus explaining his odd fur and odd size. He supposedly walks the lands bringing timely death to those whom deserve it, typically through 'sins' they have committed, and is known as 'Kifo(Death)'. This legend became so popular that it sticks to Zagmus and many still call him Kifo, and assume that he is an omen of some sort. The truth, however, is something entirely else.
Zagmus was born far North of the Pridelands, where lions were less abundant, and prey was everywhere. A simple crater of sorts where he was born, in the shadow of a grand mountain that his family simply called the god's watcher. He lived there for most of his life, destined to take over for his father, for their pride when he came of age but that day never came. His pelt and his size being common, he was born white, pure white, and there was nothing unusual about that. However, his 'destined' life was not meant to happen. One night, on his sixth year of life, a rival and jealous pride attacked his home and his people, wanting the abundant resources that they had. A vicious battle breaking out between the two prides, unfortunately such a thing was ill timed. The mountain that loomed over them all, erupted in firey hell, spewing fire and death every which way.
Zagmus ran for his life, as did his family but many of his kin died. Cut off from an escape route or suffocated due to such violent air. He too was almost claimed, raging fire everywhere he looked but for some reason he was spared. When he awoke from the ordeal the lands were dark, darker than ever before and grey dust(ash) fell slowly from the heavens. The ash staining his fur permanently and only a few patches of his body remained somewhat white. The sight was ghostly, and for many days Zagmus could of sworn he was dead. Lost in an endless abyss.
Eventually though, he found his way out, but the ordeal had changed him. In more ways then one, his once open nature becoming closed and sheltered, and his want to distance himself from others growing tremendously. After many months of traveling aimlessly he stumbled upon Scar's lot. By the time he met them, he already had quite the name for himself, and from Scar's pride he could even hear the whispers of Kifo, many were suspicious but Zags made it quite clear straight of the bat he had no interest in fighting. Let alone being a problem. Zagmus relationship with the pride was, well strained, for many long months but eventually on both sides they grew tolerable of one another but it wasn't until the fight against the original pridelanders that Zagmus earned his spot among them. Fighting along side Scar's people. The first battle was lost, inexperience perhaps or the fact that no one was prepared. Either way, it didn't matter because eventually they reclaimed Pride Rock...Zagmus now lingers with his 'pride' and is more than willing to do the King and Queen's bidding without much question.
