Relationships:
Dusty Jones: "That must sound like a human name, eh? Because it is. He raised me and however long I go without seeing him he is still my family."
Personality:
To describe a decent chunk of Azikiwe's personality you must understand that he was raised by humans. Not even in Africa but in Montana, USA! He was raised as a show animal, specifically for commmercials and movies. Because of his obedience and intelligence, he became the perfect subject for attempting to introduce a captivity lion into the wild. After much training and then a year in a wild under close watch, it was considered a success and Azikiwe was left truly on his own. Unknown to the humans, not everything was "correct" with Azikiwe. He was raised with a few other animals but not a single other lion and as such, Azikiwe has no attraction to his own species and refuses to breed with any lion. Although this might have been his best feature as it did make it easier for him to join the Sunbaked under the promise that he wouldn't knock up any of the lionesses.
Azikiwe tends to keep his sexual preference a secret as he is actually cares a lot about his image and knows others aren't 'like that'. AND YET the male is also actually quite the pervert and can often get lost in the beauty of the long legs of a gazelle or a shapely hyena. Azikiwe can often be theatrical and prideful about voice and talents. As you might expect, he can also be prissy, sarcastic and not uncommonly misunderstand his own species' intentions.
This all said, Zeke isn't disloyal to the pride. And while he isn't the best hunter or fighter, he contributes what he can whenever he can.
Appearance:
Other: Azikiwe doesn't have a strong accent as he is trying to assimilate but it will come out.
