Personality wrote:Coffin keeps emotions to himself and rarely seeks out someone to confide in, but inside he's usually very troubled and nervous. He likes to act like the tough brother and deal with trespassers himself or enforce punishments, but he actually doesn't enjoy it. Deep inside, he wishes he could be more care-free, but feels like he has to be the strong leader because he thinks Killian is to weak to be.
History wrote:Coffin was born a large cub. His father, the leader of their pride, liked him more than his tiny brother for that reason. His father wanted him to be the leader of the pride one day, but he said Killian couldn't rule with him because he was to weak. So the moment he was old enough to take care of himself, he left his father, mother and other family and set off with his brother to form a pride. They made it in a territory no one else wanted because it was by one of the human routes on the reserve. But because of the noisy cars and humans, they didn't have to worry about older lions chasing them off, because no one lived around there. After creating a camp, they searched for lions to join them. They mainly found the sick, the elderly or orphaned cubs, all who were eager to join the pride. Together, him and Killian turned the mismatched group of lions into one of the most respected prides on the reserve.
Over the years, the two ruled side-by-side in harmony. No one dared to challenge them or try to take over the pride. All was well. But then one day, his brother Killian found a lioness on their territory, who's pride had kicked her and her sick cubs out. She joined their pride, and very soon Coffin was in love with her. He confided in Killian about his feelings about the lioness Silver Sky- and was shocked to find out that Killian was in love with her too. They fought, and things went downhill from there. Coffin, unlike Killian, was open about his feelings to Silver Sky, and they were soon mates. Not a month after they announced to the pride that they were mates, Killian challenged him, claiming that Silver Sky loved him and not Coffin. Killian's challenge was simple: they fight, if Coffin won Killian would leave the pride, if Killian won then he would be Silver Sky's mate.
Outraged, Coffin accepted the challenge and beat his brother. He'd took out all his anger on his brother while they fought, and now that it was over he was more upset than anything. He begged Killian to stay, but he ignored him. Killian left the pride and the reserve, and went to live in the hunters' territory alone. Coffin didn't know how to rule on his own, and Silver Sky didn't know how to help him out. The pride's members slowly began to drift away, and as the pride got weaker, stronger lions began to attack. After awhile, one beat him and kicked Coffin and Silver Sky out of the pride. The two lived together at the edge of the reserve for months, barely staying alive. Then one day, Killian showed up with a lioness named Nanelia. The two hunted for him and Silver Sky until they'd regained their strength- then the four of them went to reclaim the pride.
Silver Sky and Nanelia were ready to fight the new leader, but Coffin insisted that only he and Killian should fight. So the brothers drove off the intruder, Killian surprising Coffin with his new found strength. Once the lion was gone, Coffin took over as a leader again, with Killian at his side.
