Personality

Patroclus is truly the most energetic of his group of friends, a leader of sorts, and a speaker for the quieter members (Bayou and Gereon, specifically). He has a reasonable mastery of fire magic, and uses it to try and brighten the world of others. A warm, flickering flame can do a lot to calm spirits and reassure the scared. Beyond that, though, he also has a penchant for using his flames in other ways - perhaps fireworks, perhaps to cast fiery illusions or tricks. He thinks outside the box, and often comes up with new and creative ways to use both his powers, and his words.

However, he also tends to be quite unaware of when his long-winded talks start to annoy others. There might be a time for quiet, yes, but Patroclus will never be able to tell when that is. He has so much to say, after all!

History

Patroclus has never been alone in his life, and he's grateful for that. For ages he traveled with two friends of his, and they made up songs along the way (Patroclus was in charge of the lyrics, of course). One day, though, their journey took them further up north, and they met another musically inclined lion. It was incredibly cold up there, but that was alright, as long as he had company with him and his fire to light the way.

They journeyed back to other places, of course, their new friend now the fourth member of their band. All was well, until one day, when in the Starheart kingdom, they heard word of a strange group of lions seeking more members to fight off monsters. And Patroclus - well, he could never resist a good adventure. It would make for better songs! So the four joined up, and they've stayed ever since.
