Only son and heir of the Darklands rulers, was spoiled by his mother and beaten by his father, both training him to be a great leader. He was cold to the other cubs, but he left alone the weak ones, like they didn't exist, for their own protection.

Journey

---

His parents left for a dangerous conquer and never came back, Katili had to choose a mate to become king, acording to tradition. Every lioness flirted with him, but he always felt attracted by the weak and shy lioness, Bavu, maybe because she was easy to control or because he needed to protect her.

His mate gave birth to a female cub, Katili got disgusted, he would never aceppt a female as heir, but Bavu begged for him to spare her life, so he did, but this cub created a huge separation between the two, and that's when Katili slipped, the healer, Mbali, was there for him and he took too much profit of it, but he got her pregnant, the cub didn't looked like him, so nobody discovered his mistake.

Bavu promised him that the next cub would be a beautiful male, and it was, Loke was perfect, his next heir, they had three more cubs as well, all males, Katili was afraid they could compete against the heir, but he decided to keep them.

OC Origins

---

Katili really had big changes, not just in design, but in personality enrichment. I created him to be the main villain's father and they ended up being very alike in appearence, but Katili was a little scruffier and malnourished. With time, I got bored of his super plain design and completely redesign him, keeping only the black fur and eyes, the red mane gave him a more royal and empowering look, that's when he started to have more meaning, being more than simply Loke's father.

I decided to make the Darklands comic to give Loke some origins, and ended up giving a story for Katili and Bavu too. The more I wrote the story, more I got focused on the king and queen, I already had some ideas for Bavu, but Katili was just a side character, a feared king that cared for the weak lioness, Now he's much more, I really engaged in his story, even creating a whole story for his parents and even a full comic for his grandmother, something I really didn't expected.
