Personality: Nyeusi is a smart, deceiving character. Often keeping others in the dark of his plans, but he just doesn't really let others in. Which can either make others ignore him or...think he has something to hide. But he does have a tiny spot of love in him. 

Appearance: As most of his unnatural kind, he comes in dark colors. He though is a gun barrel gray, with slightly lighter under belly and paws and as well muzzle. He is lean and strong looking, built well. As the ladies of his pride say "LIKE he is soooo attractive". He has forest green eyes with a dark gray and light gray markings. And his mane is a silky black.

History: Nyeusi was born into a melantistic pride, meaning his pride had grays and blacks for pelts. To other prides they were the "cursed pride". And so they went by the name. Like the other melantistic lions, or "cursed Lions" Or "Evil lions" they grew with a hatred of other prides. The prides hated them back of course. They were considered "ugly" and evil by their coloring, and rejected by the "normal prides". Nyeusi was taught that as he grew into a cub. But was curious of their top rival. "The Pure pride".

As he grew into a young adult, he became more, cold. He left the pride's sight for days at a time. He would join in the pride raids on other territories. Claiming more land than they needed. He though found no pleasure of it. He wanted to explore. 

One night he left the pride, sneaking out into the darkness. Hours seemed to tick by, he was growing farther and farther away. Then a sound got his attention. He prowled through the tall grass, to see a rather pretty lioness helpless as she was being charged by a stupid elephant. He didn't really know what came over him but he ran between the two and the elephant ran off screaming yelling "DEMON DEEEEMON" like a baby. He turned to look at the lioness but she...fainted.

He carried her away, hid her in a cave. And well.... he found himself in love with her. Even though she was a pure white lioness. More they got to knew each other more and more his feelings came to be.

But he left her, and never seeing her again. He became the right paw of his king and went to the pridelands to offer this "scar" a bribe. They would give him more land and he wouldn't dare help their enemies unless he wanted his pets to die.

As months went on, he found himself on a chase on a white queen. He came after her. Only to see her plunge over a river, and drowning herself and her cubs. For days his little scouting group went to find the body to make sure she was gone. And they found her. Only to find out it was his love he had abandoned.
