A quiet, soft spoken guy, Kenan has always been something of a silent shell hiding a tender heart. From a very young age he trained to become a warrior, knowing that to do so was his ‘calling’. One of the youngest ever to graduate his training, he joined the pride’s Guard, becoming one of the pride’s dozen warriors who protected its boarders and looked after the safety of the lands. They also went out with the hunting parties , to protect the females from rogue lions and to offer their strength when it came to hunting bigger prey. Yet Kenan was soon chosen for a very special task, to take upon himself the personal safety and well being of their young Sharmaness, Aaliyah. Slowly the air formed a bond that ran deeper than their duties, deeper even than their love of their pride members and the pair became mates in more than name. Devoted to his Aaliyah, Kenan is a stoic and steadfast mate. He is her protection, her provider and her healer. He is the one who cares for her after her visions have ravaged her body and soul, he is the one who lays beside her at night to provide warmth and comfort when her the things she sees distress her. Loyal and devoted he would give his life for her.

.:History:.
Aaliyah was the Shaman for her pride, a well respected and talented healer, and the Pride’s link to the spirits. Her mate was a solid, dependable warrior named Kenan. Given to her as Guardian on her ascension to ‘Shaman’ by the Pride’s Elders. The two were expected to become a mated pair, but were allowed to indulge in a slow and tentative courtship, so that both of them could carefully adjust to their new roles as well as each other. The pride itself was a collaborative effort between lions and leopards, a harmonious and peaceful Pride, who’s warriors defended her boundaries while the healers looked after the sick and elderly.

However, peace was not to remain, and eventually that peace was shattered, and shattered brutally. Though the cats didn’t know what it was that hunted them, men with guns discovered the pride and sought to kill or capture them with bullets and darts. Some lions and leopards were killed for sport, some for trophies, and some were tranquilized and crated up to be transported back to England and other rich countries where collectors would pay handsomely for these exotic ‘pets’. For Aaliyah and Kenan, the timing of the attack couldn’t have been worse. With Aaliyah deep into one of her trances, there was nothing Kenan could do except guard over her. The pair were soon darted and loaded up aboard a truck which set off for one of the many rough smugglers airstrips.

The Pride’s gods however had not abandoned the Shaman and her Guardian. On the way the convoy was ambushed by a less successful party of trappers and several of the trucks drove off the dirt road and into the wide ditch at the side. The truck over turned and the four boxes on board were flung from the wreck. One was crushed and its occupant killed, the second, containing Kenan was badly mangled, but he mostly unhurt, save for a plank that had sliced open his right eye. Aaliyah's crate was third, and the impact was enough to weaken the gate, the fourth was undamaged though the leopard inside knocked unconscious. Without a thought for himself or the pain in his skull, Kenan ripped the rest of his box apart and escaped, clawing and chewing at his mate’s as she clawed at it from within with her paws.

Their escape was narrow, for as the gate gave and she squeezed free of it, the men from the truck that had caused the accident came down the slope. The two lions were forced to abandon the last remaining leopard, and Aaliyah and Kenan fled, escaping into the rough shrub land of the wild plains. Both badly shaken and injured, Aaliyah weak from the physical stress and darts lingering effects and Kenan blinded in his eye from the plank which had sliced him open on impact

Exhausted and all of a sudden alone in the world, the pair wandered for days in the Rogue Lands, struggling to gather their shattered lives. The harsh conditions, and emotional toll of the loss of the pride she had been spiritually connected to weakening Aaliyah further, and had it not been for the fierce protection and determination of her beloved, the priestess would have died. Kenan desperately hunted for them both, knowing that both his and his mate's strength was waning, when fate smiled on them one more time. The Guardian came across the first scent of lion, along the Ela'wadiyi border. Weary but joyous, he went back to his beloved Aaliyah, and told his news, and together, they set off to find the Ela'wadiyi pride, hoping that there, they would finally find shelter and safety, offering their training and skill to this new pride.

Sachetan is like very much his father's son. He takes duty and honor very seriously and is determined to uphold not only the pride's ideals, but his parents as well. Something of a warrior scholar, he is very aware of his parent's past and the type of pride they came from. A serious male he trains hard to be as strong and as competent as his father. As the eldest of his siblings he sees himself as responsible for them, possibly more than is healthy as he has also inherited his father's tendency to worry for everyone's safety but his own. While his father is out on his patrol, Sachetan sees himself as the family's protector and guardian and looks after his mother and siblings. Rather too serious than is perhaps wise, it is only in the presence of his twin Selunagei, that he relaxes and allows himself to just be himself.
