Krass

Krass is a male vulture. He is a member of the Wake.
Along with his associate, Kabeer, Krass found the unconscious body of Scar in the gorge. Though the two initially intended to eat him, Kabeer instead schemed to help him become the king of Pride Rock so that his bloody rule would create an abundance of food for the vultures. Krass agreed to the plan, and Kabeer resolved to introduce Scar to the "bone eaters" as the first step in their plot.
Together, Kabeer and Krass approached Scar and persuaded him to fill a vacuum in the bone eaters' leadership so that he could use their numbers to seize the throne of Pride Rock. After Scar agreed to the plan, the three journeyed to the Elephant Graveyard. Though Scar revealed himself to the bone eaters and attempted to forge an alliance, Kabeer and Krass fled in terror.
Later, the Wake killed Queen Zuhour and her followers. As repayment for the vultures' help in his plot, Scar vowed to let them eat with impunity under his reign.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Krass lived in the Pride Lands. At some point in his life, he befriended a fellow vulture named Kabeer.
===Kabeer's plot===
One day, Kabeer and Krass witnessed Scar falling into the gorge after failing to hunt Thema's son. For hours, they circled him, wondering if he was dead, until Kabeer at last ordered Krass to land and check on Scar's status. Though Krass lamented that Scar was still breathing, Kabeer pointed out that he would succumb to his injuries before long. The two vultures proceeded to mock Scar for having been killed by "livestock" and for having lost the throne of Pride Rock to a cub.
At the mention of Simba, Kabeer began to formulate a plot, and Krass told him that he had that "I have a plan that can get Krass killed" look. Shushing Krass, Kabeer iterated that Scar hated his brother, King Mufasa, but could not hope to challenge him for the throne of Pride Rock. He added that, were Scar to become the king, his reign would create many carcasses for the vultures to feast upon.
As a storm moved in overhead, Kabeer pointed out that they could feast on Scar's carcass if he died or take credit for saving him and help him become the king of Pride Rock if he lived. He worried, however, that they would have to offer Scar something in order to convince him, and Krass added that they needed "muscle." As one, the vultures suggested recruiting the "bone eaters."
Just then, Krass heard something, but Kabeer dismissed it as the rain and wind. No sooner had he done this when Rafiki revealed his presence and attacked the vultures, driving them off with his staff. Later, after Rafiki had healed Scar's injuries at his tree, Kabeer and Krass resolved to introduce Scar to the bone eaters.
Come daytime, Kabeer formally introduced himself and Krass to Scar and asserted that they could help him become king. Though Scar was doubtful of their intellectual capabilities, he asked for elaboration, and the vultures implored him to use the bone eaters as his secret weapon. Recognizing that the two were referring to hyenas, Scar rejected the plan, but Krass pointed out that they were friends with a bone eater and that their numbers far outweighed those of Scar's enemies.
Intrigued but suspicious, Scar asked how the vultures would benefit from his alliance with the hyenas, and Kabeer claimed that they wanted to see the Pride Lands' rightful heir on the throne. This angered Scar, who demanded that Kabeer stop patronizing him, and Kabeer hastily backtracked, admitting that they wanted food and a seat in the royal court. With this admission, Scar agreed to follow the vultures' advice.
With Kabeer and Krass in the lead, the trio traveled to the Elephant Graveyard. Once there, Scar reflected on his lonesome childhood, and Krass remarked on how sad Scar's history was. Just then, Kabeer warned his associates that a large group of hyenas was close by. Initially, Scar refused to hide, but upon realizing that they could have the element of surprise, he relented. From their hiding spot, Krass asked Kabeer what he could see, and he pointed out the queen of the bone eaters standing among her followers.
As Kabeer, Krass, and Scar looked on, Queen Zuhour cast the bones and declared that they had chosen Shenzi. Kabeer and Krass identified Shenzi as their hyena friend, and Scar revealed himself with a roar. Horrified, Kabeer and Krass urged him to run, but he pointed out that it was too late to escape and that "affluence favored the bold." Kabeer argued that they had fulfilled their end of the bargain by introducing him to the bone eaters, and Scar agreed. Though he warned them that they would miss his rise to power should they leave, they fled the scene in terror. As they flew away, Scar commented that he would have done the same, and Shenzi added that they would pick over what was left, after she and Scar had been eaten.
Later, after Scar knocked Zuhour into the gorge, Krass joined his fellow vultures in attacking her and her followers. As a fight broke out down below, Kabeer asked Scar if the vultures had done well, and he remarked that they had been competent. He then vowed to let them eat with impunity under his reign, to Kabeer and Krass's delight.
==Physical appearance==
Krass is a moderately sized vulture. He has blue feathers, a pink neck, and a white ruff. His beak is orange and red, while his eyes are gold. Additionally, he has several stunt blue feathers on his head.
==Personality and traits==
More dim-witted and submissive than his associate, Kabeer, Krass follows orders well. He is fixated on food and prefers "main courses" to leftovers. Despite Kabeer's harsh treatment of him, Krass is loyal and obedient to him. Krass is ultimately a coward who will betray his associates if it is to his advantage.
