Comoros Loyall was born into a pride in the west of Africa led by his parents Gun and Tragati.

Gun had a good friend called Muscle who (around the time Comoros reached adolescence) had become a henchman to the Emperor of a newly-formed pride, the Tribe of Stones. Comoros was sent to be taken under Muscle's wing to become a warrior, as Gun's friend had unofficial charge over the training of the Pride of Stones' fighting force. In the early days of the Pride (its beginnings - when Comoros was born - not long after Emperor Obbler had founded it in the lands north of the Elephant Graveyard), its army was almost nonexistent, consisting of only a few tough ex-rouges. Muscle was requested by his Emperor to create soldiers, to protect the Pride and its territory.

When Comoros joined the Tribe he was confirmedly marked for a fighting career, being a fit, strong lion. Indeed, he was physically capable; it was difficult to win in a fight against Comoros with his chunky build, big jaws, and his very strong paws . . . however small they were in comparison to the bulk of the rest of him. But mentally Comoros was restless, fidgety, unsatisfied and unhappy with the regimented life of a soldier. His fellow fighters, mostly the offspring of ex-rogues, were more than happy to do their job; battling, guarding, training - but for Comoros it was so restricting and monotonous, although he tried his best, to please his trainer Muscle and his Emperor. However, Muscle did not want Comoros to be unhappy.

After consulting the Emperor Obbler, Muscle had Comoros enlisted as a Bushscrub Scout, the most unpleasant, rough, ultimately elite and most-wanted position in the pride. There were only seven other Bushscrub Scouts, together a group of lions extremely strong, powerful, and cunning; the supreme commandos of the Stone Lions. It was not so regimented to be in the Bushscubbers (the lions were certainly more gung-ho), so the rank seemed fairly suitable for Comoros, although there was not much hope he would be able to last more than a couple of the hard and perilous missions the Bushscrub Scouts had to carry out. Still, time would tell.

Comoros lasted four missions . . . then five . . . six . . . seven . . . the number grew. Despite coming out badly in a few scraps against certain enemies (he lost one of his his front paw toes to an eagle on mission), Comoros proved an amazingly capable member of the elite group - indeed, his senior Bushscrubbers were baffled by his nimble mind, hardiness and over-all eagerness and spirit. Comoros himself thoroughly enjoyed his new work.

Later, each of the Bushscrubbers were promoted to higher ranks. Comoros' fellow Scouts were given commander titles in the regular army, while he himself started going on special missions with his friend and fellow Bushscrubber Meno Mosso, and Pridelander allies Fimbo, Ochoyo and Taz. The missions were doled out to them thick and fast, as war had broken out between the Tribe of Stones and a pride led by Jafiya and Jet, Obbler's sworn enemies.

When Jafiya and Jet were defeated, Comoros was promoted once again, this time to the rank of Fuuno (the highest rank there was next-to the Tribe's Royal family). At this point, Comoros had been betrothed to Romy, the Emperor's daughter, for several months. His promotion ceremony was also their wedding. Now time of feud was ended, Comoros and Romy planned to start a family together, once Comoros was done carrying out a large amount of military work he had to do as a Fuuno, including dealing with the aftereffects of the war. This proved to take years, but Comoros and Romy promised eachother they would hold on and they would have their little family. In the meantime, Romy adopted a young cub she had found wounded on the border of the Tribe's territory. The cub, Tamura, claimed to be Jafiya and Jet's daughter - but nearly everybody dismissed the story, believing Jafiya and his followers had died in the desert to which Obbler had banished them and it was decided the cub was dilusional from her wounds, made by jackals. Comoros himself wondered if, perhaps, the exiled enemy had indeed survived; but whatever he or anyone else thought, he loved Tamura like his own daughter and spent as much time with her and Romy as his career would allow.


It was roughly three years after the war had ended that Comoros and Meno Mosso (who was also now a Fuuno) were assigned to help the Goldencraters, a group of lions who were suffering attacks from foreign rogue lions. Through helping the Goldencraters, the Emperor Obbler hoped to have more allies to help defeat a group of rogues that were starting to bother the Tribe of Stone.


Comoros and Meno set off on their journey, and were unexpectedly met half the way to their destination by Ochoyo the Pridelander, from when they went on secret work, who told them he had been sent by his leaders to aid them with their assignment.

Later . . .

A period of several months passed by. Obbler heard nothing of his Fuuno soldiers and he began to worry, as they had promised to inform him of their progress helping the Goldencraters every few months or so. To the Goldencrater lands he sent a messenger, who returned with strange news; Ochoyo was now leader of the Goldencrater Pride, which was now a sad, decaying group, with very few members; And Meno and Comoros had disappeared. Ochoyo claimed that they had been ''dealt with'' by enemies, although he would not tell anybody who the enemies were. Obbler (and many others) suspected a dark conspiracy behind it all, and he quickly decided to throw away any plans of alliance with the Goldencraters. He also sent off search parties to try and track down his two missing soldiers. But no trace of either of them could be found, and with the threat of another massive battle between his pride and rogues, the number of search parties dwindled and decreased. Meno Mosso and Comoros had to be forgotten for the time being.
