Troy -EBC-

I wonder,
Does the sky watch us from above?
I wonder,
Does it see us tear the land?
Does it see us rip asunder,
The flesh of our foe and friend?
I wonder,
Does it see us strike as thunder?
As we delve ever deeper into the Shadows?
Yes,
I do wonder.

At a young age, Troy and his brother had believed that they had been born and raised on the African Plains, but that was not the case. As young cubs, they were trained together in the way of protection. That is, until one day they was captured by what they thought was a group of poachers.

It was a full year before the two lions learned that he had, instead, been born and raised solely for the purpose of entertainment. He and his brother, Brutus, had always been destined to be sold and taken to the coliseums. Though, the brothers were lucky enough, since they were both sold to the same two owners, a father and a son. Brutus, the large white lion and speculated to be the more ‘popular’, was owned by the father of the two part ownership, giving him a sense of dominance. Troy, was to be owned by the son.

For a time, the two brothers fought apart from each other, in different classes and rankings of the Coliseum battles. Brutus, was to be dominant in the human and feline battles, while Troy, was to be dominant in the feline and feline battles. Or on his case, a team coliseum match.

After their initial training, Troy and Brutus earned a second 'companion' in their little duo of well known fighters. A pure melanistic tigress named Anahita, whose owner had foolishly lost her in a gamble, where he had bet on a wild tiger rather than the fierce lynx he had been pitted against.

Anahita was quickly accepted by Troy, and from the start had been struck smitten with her. She seemed to hold similar feelings for him as well, and after being through various team matches in the vicious pits together, they came to form a special bond. However, Brutus and Ana had immediately struck off wrong, and the two hated each other immensely, commonly getting into verbal fights and insult competitions.

But, there were moments when the three could get along. Their 'stalls', that their owner had for them, were close to each other, and every night they would rest and talk, and share gossip they heard in their respective times between battles. It was a rough life, but they managed it. At this point, Troy and Anahita had already considered each other mates.

Brutus and Troy have always had a love/hate relationship as brothers. A common thing among siblings, and expected until the day the died. But, for these two, it escalated. Brutus's ego outgrew him, devouring his mind and causing him to develop a cruel disposition towards his dark pelted brother. Being the personal fighter of Troy's owner's father, he was viewed as 'better', and 'popular'. And obviously, he held it over Troy at every chance he got.

One of the main reasons Ana hated Brutus so much, was because of the insults that he threw at Troy every night, and often scolded Troy himself for being complacent towards these harsh words. And it was true. For as long as the orange-eyed Barbary Lion could remember, his brother had always lorded accomplishments over him, but it had never bothered him, since he would always find a way to get back at his brother. Playfully, of course. Nothing ever escalated over a sibling rivalry.

During Troy and Anahita's time as partners in battles, they were expected to breed, and spread their strong genes onto the next generation. And, eventually, they did.

A single cub was born from Ana and Troy, a handsome Liger cub to be named Scorpio. For the first few months of his life, he was raised and taken care of by his parents. Troy loved his son immensely

But then Brutus's owner died from an illness, leaving the son of the pair to inherit ownership of the white lion. Secretly, Troy wasn't happy to hear this, but he didn't show it in front of his mate or his brother.

Troy is a fierce fighter whose size is his most dangerous weapon. Empire cats who see this Hunter had best flee in the other direction should they wish to remain alive, or out of the Coliseums. Armor protects all major body-parts aside from what his mane covers, which is armor in itself.
Empire Cats are advised not to engage in battle with this Hunter.
