Name: Umakwe
Meaning: marked
Gender: male
Age range: mature adult
Lineage: Umakwe is the distant descendant of a male tiger's daughter with a forest lioness. All his lion blood is forest.
Personality: Umakwe is very charismatic, but a bit vain and snobbish. He loves being in charge and is somewhat resentful that leadership of the pride will not fall on his shoulders.
Backstory: Umakwe's mother had the tiger blood, and his father was a lone forest lion. He was raised with no company other than his mother's which he hated. When she passed, Umakwe was an adolescent. He tried for some years to start a pride, with little success thanks to his markings. Finally he gave up and joined Inkozi, figuring that some leadership was better than none.
Place in pride: Umakwe is a powerful lesser male and the rival of Ikusasa. The two have clashed and Inkozi is tempted to evict him from the pride. However, he gets things done and has a wonderful hunter's instinct.
