Nne

―Nne[src] | ”

**Nne** is a male hyena. He is a member of Jasiri's clan.

Initially, Nne was a member of Janja's clan. He served loyally under Janja until he was promoted to be one of the clan's seconds-in-command alongside his clanmate, Tano. After being promoted, the two hyenas made plans to trick the Lion Guard and score an easy meal of oryxes. They proceeded to abandon Janja and hunt the oryxes on their own. However, their plot was thwarted by Kion, who used the Roar of the Elders to keep them from hurting the oryxes.

After the incident, Nne rejoined Janja's clan as a subordinate. Along with the rest of his clan, he became a member of Scar's army. However, when Scar betrayed the clan, Nne and his fellow hyenas defected and integrated into Jasiri's clan.

## Biography

### Early life

Nne lived in the Outlands as a member of Janja's clan.

### First skirmish with the Lion Guard

Nne spent time with his clan in the Outlands. When a butterfly landed on Janja's head, Nne laughed along with his clanmates. Later, he followed Janja into the Pride Lands to attack a herd of gazelles. However, he was thwarted by Fuli and eventually driven off fully by Kion, who used the Roar of the Elders on the entire clan.

### Skirmish with Jasiri

Nne joined Janja in cornering and attacking Jasiri. However, the clan was thwarted by Kion's Roar of the Elders. Jasiri laughed as Nne and his clanmates fled in terror.

### Kidnapping Kiara

Nne and his clanmates waited in ambush at Broken Rock for Kiara, whom they attempted to take captive and use to control Simba. Before they could take her hostage, the Lion Guard arrived, and Janja called a retreat.

### Hunting Dogo

After Dogo the jackal pup got into the hyenas' dens, Nne and his clan cornered him in the Outlands. Just in time, Kion chased the hyenas off, and Janja happily let the Lion Guard take responsibility for Dogo.

### Bunga's trespassing

When Bunga wandered into the volcano, Nne and his clan attacked. However, Fuli arrived to fend off the hyenas, and she and Bunga attempted an escape through the lava. Nne and his clan pursued them but were stopped by the rest of the Lion Guard, who arrived to aid their trapped friends.

### Temporary leadership of Janja's clan

―Nne[src] | ”

As the Lion Guard patrolled the Pride Lands, Nne and his clan attempted to sneak behind them and hunt a herd of wildebeests. However, Janja slipped down a muddy slope, and Kion banished the clan with the Roar of the Elders.

Once in the Outlands, Janja blamed Cheezi and Chungu for the failure and promoted Nne and Tano to be his new seconds-in-command. He ordered the two to run off Cheezi and Chungu, and they complied, growling at Cheezi and Chungu until they fled to the Pride Lands.

Shortly afterward, Nne and Tano came up with a plan to fool the Lion Guard. They explained it to Janja, suggesting that they bait the Lion Guard with a herd of sable antelope, then change direction and hunt down a herd of oryxes instead. Impressed with the ingeniousness of the plan, Janja agreed.

Together, the three hyenas started the first stampede of sable antelope, and Nne and Tano forced Janja to hide from the Lion Guard with them. After the Lion Guard took off in pursuit of the stampeding herd, the hyenas turned their attention to the oryxes. However, during the chase, Nne and Tano betrayed Janja by forcing him off the edge of a cliff.

The Lion Guard heard Janja's angry cries for Nne and Tano, and learned the hyenas' plan from him. Just in time, they arrived to stop Nne and Tano, and Kion used the Roar of the Elders to expel them from the Pride Lands.

### Scar's resurrection

―Nne, after the hyenas kidnap Kiara[src] | ”

The dry season started, and the Lion Guard became busier than ever. During their patrol, Ono informed his friends that Janja's clan was attacking Ma Tembo's herd. The Lion Guard arrived at the scene to find that Janja's crew was attacking the elephants. The Lion Guard was shocked that the hyenas would hunt elephants because of how dangerous it was. The team then drove Nne and the clan away.

Later, Nne helped attack the baboons who had started to follow Ma Tembo's herd. The Lion Guard arrived just in time, and Kion blasted the hyenas away with the Roar of the Elders.

Nne and his crew returned to the Outlands, where they saw Ushari. Janja lamented how the Lion Guard kept driving his clan off, to which Ushari revealed that Kion was getting advice from Mufasa. He added that if the hyenas wanted to stop the Guard, they should find a way to talk to one of the Great Lions of the Past. He then reminded Janja that there was one Great Lion who had always helped hyenas: Scar. He suggested that if Kion could talk to Mufasa, then there must be a way for them to talk to Scar.

Janja and Ushari decided to steal Makini's bakora staff and lure Kion to the volcano by kidnapping one of his loved ones. That way, he would get angry, and his Roar would be at its most powerful.

Nne and his fellows kidnapped Kiara and took Makini's bakora staff. When the Lion Guard arrived to rescue Kiara, Janja tricked Kion into using his Roar out of anger, which caused the volcano to erupt. Janja then threw Makini's staff into the volcano, and Scar was successfully summoned.

### Army of Scar

#### Assassination attempt on Jasiri

In the Outlands, Jasiri played with two hyenas pups, Tunu and Wema. Janja watched from afar and ordered Nne and the rest of his clan to attack the trio. The clan launched their attack. In the midst of the fight, Janja forced Jasiri and the pups into an open steam vent, where lava was steadily rising to the surface. As the clan gathered around, preventing any attempt at escape, Jasiri's sister Madoa resolved to get Kion's help.

The Lion Guard soon arrived and engaged in a fight with the hyenas. Janja and his clan were effectively steered away from the edge of the steam vent. With the hyenas out of the way, Kion ordered Beshte to push a large rock into the lava flow, which allowed Jasiri and the pups to clamber to safety. Frightened, Nne and the rest of the clan fled.

#### Kidnapping Zazu

Nne and his clan tried to keep the Lion Guard from rescuing a kidnapped Zazu. However, the hyenas were defeated.

#### Attack on Rafiki

Nne and his clan engaged in a fight with Rafiki and the Lion Guard. They were defeated, after which they retreated back to the Outlands.

#### Defeat in the volcano

Nne and the rest of the Army of Scar cornered the Lion Guard in the midst of the Outlands. Later, the army trapped the Lion Guard in the volcano. However, they were defeated when Kion used the Roar of the Elders to clear a path of escape.

#### Occupation of Kilio Valley

After Kilio Valley burned to the ground, Scar ordered Nne and the rest of the Army of Scar to remain in the valley. Janja attempted to appoint himself the leader of the army, but Kiburi, Mzingo, and Reirei protested vehemently. The villains then began competing over who should be in charge of the valley. They continued to argue as the Lion Guard looked on.

#### Skirmish with Kinyonga

The hyenas attempted to block up a river, but the Lion Guard camouflaged themselves and launched a surprise attack. As the hyenas retreated, Nne and the others wondered how the Lion Guard had managed to learn such a trick. Kinyonga suddenly appeared and took the credit. Her unexpected appearance startled the hyenas, who fell into the river and careened over the edge of Hakuna Matata Falls.

#### Hyena Resistance

Nne faced off against the Hyena Resistance along with the rest of his clan. The Army of Scar was ultimately defeated.

#### Attack on Makuu's watering hole

Scar decided to attack Makuu's watering hole since the crocodiles' alliance with Kion was fraying. The Army of Scar, including Nne and his clan, besieged Makuu's float. Ono witnessed the battle and reported his findings to Kion. Together, the Lion Guard and their Pride Lander allies stormed the watering hole and fought off the Army of Scar.

#### Attack on Mizimu Grove

At Mizimu Grove, Rafiki and Simba announced Makini's mpando mpaya. In the midst of the celebration, the Army of Scar attacked, and the Pride Landers rose up to defend themselves. The battle paused when Scar appeared in the flames and threatened to overtake the entirety of the Pride Lands. Frightened by Scar's unexpected appearance, the remaining Pride Landers fled Mizimu Grove. Kion then used the Roar of the Elders to defeat the Outlanders.

#### Battle for the Pride Lands

Along with his clan, Nne lured the Lion Guard into the Lair of the Lion Guard. However, Scar betrayed the hyenas by setting fire to the Lair in the hopes that both the clan and the Guard would perish. However, with the Guard's help, Nne and his allies escaped to safety and joined forces with the Pride Landers.

### Utamu season

―Nne to Pumbaa[src] | ”

Nne and Tano complained about the lack of food in the Outlands. Pumbaa heard them and introduced Nne to Utamu. While Nne agreed to limit his hunting in the Pride Lands, Tano called it off for himself, despite eating the grubs, eventually.

## Physical appearance

Nne is slightly smaller than his clanmates. He has a massive hump on his back as well as a large nose and ears. His fur is pale gray, while his back, eye rims, and muzzle are dark gray. His most distinctive feature is the mask of dark fur that extends from between his eyes to the base of his nose.

## Personality and traits

―Nne expresses frustration with Janja[src] | ”

Like his clanmates, Nne initially had no respect for the Circle of Life and simply hunted at his leisure. He frequently invaded the Pride Lands and attacked innocent animals, which put him at odds with the Lion Guard. Despite his apparent subservient nature, Nne is actually quite cunning and ruthless. After being promoted to one of the seconds-in-command of Janja's clan, he began to disrespect and belittle his clan leader, and even betrayed him outright. Eventually, Nne reconciled with Janja, as he rejoined the clan and began to respect Janja's authority again. Following Scar's betrayal of the hyenas, Nne and his clan defected to join Jasiri's clan.
