[Salone]

Well, this is what I've came up with so far...

The demon that possesses Lev was a lower demon, perhaps one of gluttony if anything. It came in to being over the hundreds of years that Tsavo has suffered. Tsavo literally means 'A place of slaughter', and has been an area heavy with slave trade, genocide, and flat out murder. Death was so common there that bodies were just cast aside and left to rot, hence lions acquiring a taste for human flesh. With as much hate and violence seeping in to the soil, it seems like it would be quite easy for all that to manifest in to an actual being. His first victims were the slavers themselves. Then he took the form of lions. After being put down by a Mr. Patterson in the early 1900's, he has resurfaced after taking Lev's dying body for himself. Of course, his own power has been enough to keep Lev alive. Being a bit of a lesser demon, he desires his own personal gain. However, since he isn't exactly of Hell itself, he's still driven by the things that created him: hunger and death. That's the rough draft of it anyway. I'll probably spend hours with it in notepad and try to make it sound a bit better. Or more believable.
