History: Raised by a small nomadic pride. His mother, a lioness named Waridi, bore him and another female cub, but she passed away days after the birth, not long enough for a name to be given. The prdie had a minor tradition that cubs were not named until they were around a month old, where it was mostly ensured that they would live (not considering unpredictable outside threats). Korongo gained his name by his attentiveness to prey, especially the roan antelope herd that lived close to where the pride was currently resting. There was only two other cubs in the pride at that point, littermates, and Korongo easily became fast friends.
He grew up quickly, not minding the comstantly-moving way of life. Waridi taught him how to defend himself. The whole group was quite skilled in battle, as a safety point. When Korongo was over a year old a terrible storm swept through the lands the pride was resting in. It caused a massive flood. Korongo ende up washed away, completely separated by the time he came to. He started a rogue's lifestyle, wandering on his own.
