History
Born one male among several in a hyena clan, Ed was fortunate to have been paw-picked by a to-be matriarch named Shenzi, along with another male named Banzai. Although he never spoke a word, Ed nonetheless displayed his loyalty to his friends, and proved he was, at least on occasion, able to spot things they might otherwise miss. His apparent lunacy meant he was largely left alone, even by females who might otherwise have tried to bully him around due to him being a male.
As time passed, Shenzi, Banzai, and himself formed what they felt was a solid alliance and friendship with a black-maned lion named Scar, who aspired to be king. Swayed by his promise of having plenty to eat, they were tasked with killing Simba, and thus clearing the way for Scar to be king after Mufasa's death. While they failed that task, they succeeded in killing Mufasa himself by causing a stampede. Unfortunately, Simba escaped them yet again, but Shenzi decided to keep that fact a secret from Scar, reasoning that Simba would likely die in the wilderness on his own.
For a time, they had all they could eat, but with so many mouths to feed, even the bounty of the Pridelands faded, which wasn't helped by the arrival of a severe drought, leaving them once again going hungry. Then, on top of that, Simba returned, rallied most of the lionesses to his side, and fought to claim the throne. During the ensuing fight, Scar, cornered by Simba, tried to shift the blame onto the hyenas. This betrayal didn't escape Ed's notice, and when Scar was defeated, he and his comrades repaid Scar's treachery in full, claiming one last meal before fleeing the Pridelands.
Now, once more living in the Graveyard, Ed's loyalty to Shenzi remains as strong as ever. As always, he would follow her lead, and for the time being, that meant waiting for opportunity to appear.
Family Tree
Shenzi and Banzai...somehow, and Janja by extension.
Sample Post
As he often did during the hottest hours of the day, Ed was dozing, curled up inside a massive elephant skull. While it was a far cry from the comforts of the Pridelands, it was still familiar. And safe enough. Lions rarely ever entered the Graveyard, and the clan could, generally speaking, drive any other unwanted intruders away. If they didn't kill them and eat them, of course, which sometimes helped add to whatever they caught during their occasional forays into the Pridelands to hunt.
As he dozed, an errant bit of wind carried some dust into the skull, where it landed on Ed's ear. He flicked the ear, then scratched at it with a hand paw, speeding up as he was fully roused from sleep. His walleyed gaze focused on nothing in particular as he continued to scratch, then his eyes briefly crossed as, instead of scratching, his hind paw abruptly delivered a series of rapid kicks to the side of his head. He seized the offending limb between his teeth, then pricked his ears up as he overheard Shenzi talking nearby. He rose on three legs, still firmly holding onto his fourth leg with his teeth, and made his way out of the skull.
