Ill-Natured

The young but cunning Khal of the Tau'ri Pride. Aggressive and highly protective of his pride and territory, he tends to violently repel any perceived threat. His attitude is ruthless, but fair, and tends to be rather aloof, though he is quietly affectionate with his favorite lionesses. He's tolerant at best with cubs, tending to give them a swat if they annoy him. He's smart-minded though and knows how to fight with cunning, but he tends to be hot-headed and fearless, often charging in arrogantly no matter the odds.

He's fairly heavy and solid for his breed of desert-dwelling lion. The black markings around his eyes, nose, on his ear tips, and on his toes (not socks, just a bit above the claws, half the toe maybe) are rather stark in comparison to his sandy-white and rich golden marks, making his jade-green eyes stand out. He has unusually long teeth; the tips of his canines show just past his lip. His chin has a thick 'goatee' of fur. He's rather proud of his thick full mane for his breed. He is somewhat scarred from frequent fighting against threats and to defend/expand his territory.

His most notable scars are two even/matched ones directly across his muzzle: one just below his eyes from cheek to cheek and the other about midway down his nose from when he was attacked by an aggressive, larger male when he was an adolescent. There's a large notch out of his right ear as well. He has deep scars (four of them with a fifth a bit smaller) down his left shoulder from a fight where a rival male clawed him deeply down the shoulder. The rest are mostly small nicks and such scattered from normal fights.

He has a tangle of blue feathers in his mane (no pink like in game) as a symbol of being the leader of his small pride. His feathers are won on the left side.
