| HISTORY |

 Born in Lagiza's Tribe (when it was known as The Cumani Tribe and was lead by Torono and Nika), Scorpio was one of three cubs. He was born around the same time as Lagiza but never played with him (Lagiza was only allowed to play with cubs of his own stature).
When he grew Scorpio (being the strongest in the tribe) was chosen to become a General by Nika - the lioness was ruling alone after the disappearance of her mate and needed a male lion to keep their baboon enemies away.

After Lagiza took over the tribe Scorpio was depromoted. Due mainly to the fact that Lagiza was secretly scared of him and was paranoid that Scorpio might try and take over in order to become the new leader.

After a month of Lagiza's reign, Scorpio grew tired of it. The insidious ideas his leader had ( such as taking over the neighboring tribes and prides (The Pridelands, Isu Keeney, etc)) and his brutish nature towards others made Scorpio feel uncomfortable.
So he decided to leave the tribe (at least for a while) and take a break from it all - much to Lagiza's delight.

3 months of being away from the tribe and Scopio settled on the idea of returning. He came back to a desolate land with no lions except a crushed and beaten Lagiza.
Thinking his old leader had learnt a valuable lesson and was ashamed of the past, Scorpio began to feel a sense of sympathy for him. He brought food and water for the wounded lion and slowly Lagiza's strength came back. What Scorpio did not know was that Lagiza had not changed his ways and had no intention of doing so.

One morning Scorpio told Lagiza that now they were both well, he thought it would be better if they parted and went their separate ways, to start new lives. But Lagiza prompt him to stay, for a little while longer at least and told Scorpio he knew of an untaken area that he might like.
Scorpio agreed to this idea and night fell.

That night Lagiza approached a sleeping Scorpio and swiftly blinded the lion, with the idea that if Scorpio was blind he would be dependent and be forced to stay and work for Lagiza, in exchange for visual guidance and food. Of course Scorpio was terrified after discovering his loss of sight and many times tried to attack Lagiza, but he began to realize that without Lagiza's help he would probably die.

To remind Scorpio just how much he needs him, Lagiza would sometimes cruelly taunt him by randomly disappearing and leaving the blind Scorpio distraught and frantically looking for his boss.

...

Throughout the blissful years of the united  "The Isu Keeney" pride, Lagiza was forever thinking up plans of revenge and sending Scorpio out to trick and cause agony to others (his blindness did not stop Scorpio from being a good fighter. Infact his awareness and senses got sharper).
One of Lagiza's ideas was for Scorpio to pretend to be a feeble and innocent wounded soldier and to trick other animals into helping him before they were either killed or threatened and taken back to Lagiza's camp.

He once attacked a lion called Malka, but during the attack Scorpio stopped himself and let the lion go. Lagiza found out and punished him.

After Lagiza managed to capture one of Prince Jot's cubs (Prince Roscoe), Scorpio was called to train the cub, but the cub escaped under a lion called Zeke's watch and Scorpio was ordered by Lagiza to punish Zeke.

Relation to TLK: Thanks to the vile crimes Lagiza order's him to be part of Scorpio is wanted by the Pridelanders and the Outsiders. He once attacked Malka, but stopped himself from doing any furthur damage and let the lion go.

Scorpio when Lagiza's Tribe still existed.
He despised the paint marks Lagiza forced his followers to have on their faces.
