Martin Partin

Martin Partin is a male human. He is the host of a wildlife documentary show called Kingdom of the Creatures.
While filming his show, Martin Partin continually rejected Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed for trying to star in the program. However, when Partin's armadillo star got a movie deal and left the program, he reluctantly offered the vacant job to the hyenas. They accepted, took over the program, and put Partin in a cooking pot.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Martin Partin became the host of a television program called Kingdom of the Creatures.
===Kingdom of the Creatures===
Martin Partin filmed his show, Kingdom of the Creatures, with an armadillo as the star. Partin's cameraman, Ronald, had doubts about armadillos shoving turkeys out of the ground with shovels and other things. However, Partin simply went with it and shouted at Ron that the armadillo was the star of the show and that he deserved a big, juicy steak for lunch. Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed noticed the armadillo enjoying its meal and tried to join Partin's documentary show so they could have steaks too.
While Partin did the second take about how the armadillo protected himself from predators, Shenzi appeared and performed a ballet dance. Partin yelled, "Cut!" and talked to Shenzi, who tried to convince him to give her some steaks. But Partin took her down by spinning her away.
On the third take, Partin talked about what the armadillo did during the rainy season. Then Banzai appeared and performed a singing act. Partin yelled, "Cut!" again and sarcastically praised Banzai for his performance. He then abruptly turned him down like he had done to Shenzi.
On the fourth take, Partin talked about how the armadillo did not take himself seriously. Then Ed appeared and performed slapstick comedy. However, like his cohorts, he got taken down by Partin. The hyena trio then suggested that they become directors for the television show.
Later, the armadillo got a movie deal and left the Serengeti, forcing Partin to find another animal star. The host then saw the hyenas return and nervously offered them jobs as actors. However, the hyenas decided to become directors and eat Partin. With the hyenas as the show's new hosts, they made a fifth take, with Partin in a cooking pot.

==Personality and traits==
While being recorded, Martin Partin passes himself off as a generous man who cares for wild animals. However, while not on camera, Partin is arrogant and bossy, and shows no respect for others. He constantly bullies and shouts at his cameraman, Ronald, even if Ron simply asks him an innocent question about the armadillo. He also rudely turns down Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed whenever they try to get involved in his documentary show.
