Xerxes

Xerxes is a male lion. He is Sarabi's brother-in-law, the mate of Esther and father of Simba's cousins, Mtoto and Dumaka.
==Physical appearance==
Xerxes is a strongly-built male lion with broad shoulders. He has a red mane that is fluffy yet somewhat disheveled. He has golden fur, red eyes, and darker rings around his eyes. His nose is red and his muzzle, paws, and stomach are yellow. His chin is also tufted.
==Personality==
Xerxes is first shown as kind and fatherly. He enjoys the company of his family and wants to be proud of Simba someday - which indeed happens later. He is very emotional and close with his family, doing anything to help his sons and missing Esther dearly.
