Character Overview

Nzoloko, the First Lionpard, is the undiluted origin of the Anyoto bloodline and the founding spirit of the Leopard Society. A being of unmatched power and feral wisdom, he fused the nobility of the lion with the stealth of the leopard. Through his roar and flame, a dynasty of flame-bound warriors was born.

Symbolism
