Kesho

Kesho is a male cheetah.
Due to a debt he owed Fisi, Kesho agreed to challenge Simba for the throne of Pride Rock. However, with the help of his hyena minions, he cheated during the fight by using poisonous thorns that weakened his opponent. With Simba defeated, Kesho became king, but his power was limited, as he was forced to do as the hyenas told him. Eventually, Simba returned to the Pride Lands and, with the help of an elephant named Kia, forcibly deposed Kesho from the throne and exiled him from the kingdom.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Kesho lived in the Pride Lands. When he was near death, he met Fisi, who saved him from starvation.
===Kingship of the Pride Lands===
Because of the debt he owed Fisi, Kesho was half-forced, half-eager to challenge Simba and take the crown of the Pride Lands, as he enjoyed the thought of having power and romancing the lionesses. He and Simba battled in the Valley of the Thousand Eyes, where the cheetah cheated and used thorns to weaken and defeat Simba. He took Simba's crown but had no real power, as the hyenas utterly controlled him.
Eventually, an elephant named Kia forced Kesho off the throne, and the royal family regained their positions, sending Kesho and his hyena friends fleeing into exile.
==Physical appearance==
Fisi comments that Kesho's coat is a blinding yellow.
==Personality and traits==
Arrogant and cocky, Kesho takes pride in his running skills. However, in a fight, he is a coward, as he was worried sick after losing to Simba and submitted easily when surrounded by hyenas. He even admitted to cheating during the fight with Simba when confronted by the much larger Kia. However, Kesho is more noble than his hyena cohort, Fisi, as he firmly believed in honor, while Fisi merely snickered at the thought.
