Czcibor the Enraged Adversary

Long before Czcibor's birth in the City, a world was crumbling around them. His parents were both born as wild cats, to their own litters. Like many wild cats, people were looking for new, thrilling, exotic pets - and they happened to stumble upon them. His mother, Ania, and her littermate, Wisia, were born before Czci's father was, and the capture was bloody. Ania's mother fought to protect her small, young cubs and was killed for it. Ania and Wisia were taken back in as pets. Ania was to become a breeder and was separated from her sister. 

Czci's father, Nikodem, faced a similar fate as Ania. His parents were killed for trophies, while his brothers and him laid in their den, crying out for their mother. Nikodem's brother, Marceli, died from starvation and Nikodem and his surviving brothers would've faced the same fate if they had not been found by traveling merchants. With a call for wild cats, and seeing they could make a fortune from them, Nikodem and his brothers were sold. Nikodem was sold to a man looking to make his fortune in the Colosseum. This set Nikodem off on his journey as a Colosseum fighter.

Czcibor and his littermates were the last of both Nikodem and Ania's litters. Ania as she was nearing the last of her breeding years, with her soon to be retired back to being a simple pet. Nikodem would later die in a fight before his owner could try breeding him again. Czcibor has many half-siblings littered about in the City, but most are dead or their owners have moved them to a new country. Czcibor would never meet any of his half-siblings but knows of them. His father was bred simply to create more possible fighters, with almost all dying in the Colosseum.

For Czcibor's first months of life, he lived with Ania's owner, Louise Chevrolet, until he was bought by a wealthy woman, Delphine Orne, as a pet. Czcibor's life with Delphine was quite simple, until he started growing, with her surprise at how big he had grown. As he was half bobcat, she had expected him to be more around that height than the height he grew into. With him at two years, Delphine decided to use him for better use.

While she was very wealthy and lived in riches, she was very cheap with her affairs. With her having a big cat, she decided to use him as a bodyguard, paying for him to be trained and the armor he would be needed to wear. Soon, he was a trained bodyguard, following her everywhere and protecting her at all costs. He followed orders perfectly, making sure he got everything right.

Not everything went smoothly though. There was an occurrence of an escapee, who was declared rabid by officials. Delphine was in the way and he jumped in front to protect her. What ensured was a violent fight, with Czcibor losing the right side of his face, and him gaining his first kill. Horrified, Delphine stopped her trips and put Czcibor up for sale. She never once looked at him as she sold him over to a merchant, Warren Reaux. He was around 5 years old.

Czcibor was not Warren's first cat, and especially not his first bodyguard. Czcibor returned to his role, though with not as much rigor as he previously had done. One of Warren's cougars, Adelina, took a liking to him and started going with him on his patrols. Adelina was a bit older than him by two years or three, having spent most of her life in the City, but still had memories of the wild. Czcibor reminded her of the wild cougars she saw when she was young, drawing her to him.

Czcibor liked her, her strong will and compassion for others. And he loved the wild side of her, their conversations often usually drifting over what it was like in the wild. They did it at night often, stargazing while they talked about their lives. It was no wonder they became closer, enough for them to want to become mates.

Czcibor and Adelina's cubs were born when Czcibor was around 6 years old, slowly edging into his older years. Adelina was also bordering into her older years, and it was a lucky surprise their cubs didn't have any issues. They had two beautiful girls and one handsome boy. Life never seemed to get any better for them. Czcibor had never been happier, and when he wasn't on guard duty, you could see him playing with his cubs. Warren was pleased to see Czcibor return back to his job with rigor. After all, he had a new reason, make sure he was alive to be with his cubs.
