Rusojin was crowned king at an early age, when the previous king lead the pride to famine-stricken lands and ended up dying from diseases. Because of this, he is always making sure his clanmates are well fed, even letting them eat before he does sometimes. This has lead him to have a thin frame, even if he eats plenty.
He leads the pride with his half-brother, Kimbara, letting the other do most of the dirty work while he, himself, focuses on leading the pride. He spends his time, doing his duties. Occasionally joining his brother in the dirty work, even taking some joy out of it, playing his brother's twisted games of torture and threat killing. Other animals do not matter to him, really, they are strangers in his land. What matters is his pride, and they are first and foremost to be taken care of.
In terms of the relationship with his brother, he loves him and respects him. He takes whatever advice his brother gives seriously, and considers him his best friend and confidant. Inara, the queen, and his brother's mother, is like a second mother to him. He would do anything for her and Najam.
Suprisingly, he gets along better with his half-sister, Seraphina, that he does with his littermate, Najira. He absolutely loves, Najira, don't get him wrong, yet she seems to connect better with Kimbara than he. Seraphina, is a sweet heart and just gets along better with Rusojin than her own littermate.
His morally grey way of living has him liked by the pride, though the kinder folk are wary. Each lion knows that Rusojin would drop anything and everything for the sake of his pride, and as such, he is respected and loved by the majority of it. The primal lion Claudius seems to always have an issue with Rusojin and his brother. The two cannot see eye-to-eye on how to lead. Although there are so issues in authority, Rusojin knows that Claudius does not approve of him, and always seems to be sad about what he does.

He may be evil but i don't want to raise a truly heartless/evil king. D:
Oops, I lied. He is, after all, evil to everyone except those in his pride. Ive never had an evil king, so why not try with him?
Maybe reincarnated he can be kind.
