UPDATE: Changed colored.

A young lion man raised to fight for sport. He takes pride in his potential to grow in strength but is competitive to a fault. On his own, he'll pick fights against those larger, more powerful, faster than himself. There's always something he can take away from the experience, even if it's learning to never take water from a strange orca shaman.

He aligns himself with whomever pays him. In his time adventuring the unforgiving lands of the world, he became an expert crafter of delectable foods, which is often the main source of his income. He also is very good at finding food. Despite looking so poor he can't afford cloths or a decent weapon, Tryphon is actually wealthy. He just trades away his loot and stores all the money in the bank whenever he makes it back to civilization.

The only special abilities to note from Tryphon:
+ His 'gift' that many adventures and villains in the land has, allowing him to come back to life after being slain. However if he revives this way, he loses all the strength he's gained.
+ If building up his immense strength fast is an ability then sure! But he can lose it just as fast.
+ Can magically find and make tons of food. Extremely helpful to any party he's a part of but is equally perplexing.
--- But other than those, he is just a simple fighter who's too young to grow a proper mane.
