| HISTORY |

Cub:
Zeke was born of the half Isu Keeney Pride member, I (formally known as "The Creep" and formally a member of Lagiza's Tribe) and Fey (the daughter of Imammu and Kelly) and full member of the Pride.

As a cub Zeke was very serious, reserved and always avoided playing with the other cubs as much as he could. He prefered spending time with either his grandparents, parents or the elders of the Isu Keeney Pride, who would teach him many life lessons and tell him stories.

Teen:
One summer, after a long trip with the Pride's hunting party, Zeke thought he'd visit the lake that was situated on the pride's territory, so he could cool off and drink. Unfortunately the large (and now elderly) rhinoceros, Blockhead was there before him and was selfishly guarding the lake; after being tricked into leaving the original waterhole by Simba, he had left the jungle and traveled to the Isu Keeney Pride territory to find a new water source to hog.

On seeing the lion approach the lake, Blockhead became aggressive and protective and waited until Zeke had come close before charging at them him.
Zeke panic-stricken and confused, froze. The rhino caught the young lion with his horn and nose and thrust him against a boulder (knocking Zeke out and damaging his head in the process) before throwing him into the lake.

Zeke (totally unconscious) started to drown, until he was grabbed by the scruff by two male lions. When he was dragged to the surface and up onto the bank, Zeke realized the two lions were his grandfather (Imammu), I (his father) and that they were accompanied by Ave plus some more lions (the three whom had led the hunting party that afternoon). Blockhead had cowardly scarpered at the sight of the large group of lions.

After that event Zeke became even more reserved as a result of the blows he had received his left eye turned a slight greenish colour. Also the strike his head had taken on the rock made him become more uptight, so he tended to stick around the pride more than usual and never wandered off. Instead, he took up more responsibilities to hide his insecurities - like becoming a messenger trainee for the pride and tracking lost animals for friends and family.

Adult:

To be written when he grows older

Relation to TLK: He was attacked by Blockhead the rhino, who had become possessive over the pride's water source.
