Background Story: Kayode was born in captivity, and his pride was very proud of him, seeing him as a sign that their gods were happy with them. His gentle spirit and kind nature made him a favorite to their human owner as well, and he was raised with gentle hands, and paws. He lost his whole pride in a fire, where he only survived by swimming in the small lake the humans had put in their cage. After this his owner kept him close at all times, bringing the lion around the world on meetings and business gatherings. He got the nickname ‘Big Boy’ when they realized he was growing much bigger than a normal lion, as he did not stop growing before he was twice the size of a normal lion, and three times heavier. Kayode’s friendly and gentle nature made him wanted by many men, and once, while his owner had taken him to a friend in a neighbor town, three men with guns came and tried to take him, but his owner got in their way and got shot. Kayode broke out of his cage and killed the men before running of, his sorrow making him unable to live among other humans after loosing his owner. He roamed the plains for days before stumbling upon a hyena and her two cubs, trying to get into an elephant carcass. After a few tense moments where he explained he did not wish to hurt them he was let close, and used his strong jaws and teeth to open the carcass for them, They told him about a pride of lions that looked different, like him, and pointed him in the right direction.
