Mohatu

King Mohatu was the father of either Ahadi or Uru, the grandfather of Mufasa and Scar, the grandfather-in-law of Sarabi, the great-grandfather of Simba, the great-great-grandfather of Kopa and the former King of The Pride Lands in The Lion King book "The Brightest Star".
==Biography==
===Early Life===
Mohatu was the great-grandson or great-great-great-great-grandson of the First King of the Pridelands. His childhood is not known, however Mohatu grows into a wise and gentle king.
==="The Brightest Star"===
During Mohatu's rule, a drought grips the Pride Lands, which prompts him to put in a place a law that limits how much each animal can drink from the waterhole as well as what order the animals can drink in. Since lions could survive the longest without it, Mohatu decrees that they drink last. For a while, this law works, but not everyone is happy with is. One lion in particular (who bears an uncanny resemblance to Mohatu's youngest grandson Scar, though with gold fur and a red mane) completely blows the king off and drinks from the waterhole whenever he wants, attacking the other animals when they come near.
Not wanting to resort to violence, Mohatu searches for another source of water and comes across what is widely believe to be the same oasis that Timon and Pumbaa would take residence in later on down the generations. He leads the animals there after he finds it and calms their squabbling when they begin to argue about who drinks first. No more details on Mohatu's reign are given, however he had a mate and a child before he died: either Ahadi or Uru, one of the parents of Mufasa and Scar.
Mohatu was deeply missed when he passed away and shone as the brightest star in the sky when he finally went to rest with the other Great Kings of the Past.
==="Fight for the Throne"===
In this German audiobook, Mohatu is mentioned by his great-great-grandson Kopa.
==Characteristics==
===Personality===
Mohatu was a wise and gentle king. He could've easily ran off the smaller, scrawnier self lion, but preferred a peaceful alternative, even if it required more effort.
===Appearance===
His appearance is uncanny to his grandson Mufasa's, sans the latter's golden fur. Mohatu's fur is deep reddish brown and his mane is a much darker shade of that color. He has a lighter underbelly color and his eyes are red. There is a distinctive curl near the top of his mane and his features are similar to, if not as blocky as, Mufasa's.

==Trivia==
*It is unknown if Mohatu is the father of Ahadi or Uru. Though it could be the former, as in The Lion King: Six New Adventures story "A Tale of Two Brothers", Ahadi is referred to as King. If Mohatu was Uru's father, Ahadi would have been referred to as Prince, as male consorts are not referred to as King whilst their wives (who are the monarchs) are referred to as Queen.
**However, it is revealed through The Lion Guard, that male consorts are considered kings and are equal to their queen regnants, shown through how Kovu is referred to as the future King through his union to Kiara, and Kion is referred to as the King of the Tree of Life through his coronation as Rani's king, meaning Ahadi would've been referred to as King through either birth, or marriage in Mohatu's family.
