### Quickmane

Quickmane was partially on hostile terms with **Ghost** before the former's death. When Ghost is trying to communicate with Nothing, Quickmane and the rest of the his Pride spot him.

## Appearances

### Episode One: No-Mane

**Ghost** makes his first appearance as a cub, seeing a young Nothing in her dreams after she passed out from her injuries given to her by Quick.

Nothing is awoken shortly by her brother, Fire.
### Episode Three: The Calling

**Ghost**, in Nothing's dream yet again, is now an adult. She finds herself in the same jungle, but with a healed leg. He ominously calls out to Nothing that the Shifting Place calls and tells her to answer, claiming it's the only way it will end. When Nothing asks who he is, he's unable to reply as Nothing is awoken by Hover. Later, Nothing explains to Hover that she keeps having weird dreams where she's in a strange jungle, and that there is always a mysterious white lion in it. Hover jokingly asks if he's handsome, and Nothing lightheartedly replies that it's not that kind of dream.
### Episode Four: Outsider

When Feather and Nothing stop to drink from the watering hole, they hear rustling from the tall grass. **Ghost** then emerges from the grass, causing Nothing to gasp in disbelief. Feather becomes confused and scared, and hides behind his cousin. Ghost tells Nothing to go with him and to answer the call, and that they do not have much time. Nothing snarls that they are not not going anywhere with him, causing Ghost to get angry with her. Lifting his neck, his mane starts to bristle and he tells her that it is not her decision. The lioness appears hesitant as she protects Feather.
### Episode Five: Escape

**Ghost** is attacked by Quickmane and the his huntresses, preparing to fight him off. Outnumbered and wounded, Ghost panics, and flees the scene. When Quickmane furiously confronts Nothing for leaving his daughters behind and taking Feather with her, Nothing explains that Ghost wasn't a No-Mane, and that she had no idea what he was.
### Episode Six: Prideless

**Ghost** appears in Nothing's dream after a vision of Hover with glowing white eyes and a slashed neck startles Nothing. She bumps into him, and he tells her that the memory is painful, but it is hers. She becomes angry and digs her claws into the ground, telling him to get out of her head, but he only replies that she needs to remember, before the ground crumbles beneath Nothing and she falls.
### Episode Ten: Pride Law

During the confrontation between Fire and Nothing, Nothing asks Fire to kill her if he truly doesn’t not like that she is challenging him. As a result, Fire growls at her in frustration, and **Ghost** intervenes immediately, jumping in between them and placing himself in front of Nothing. He turns to the lioness and states that they have a slight journey ahead, asking if she can make it. Nothing is confused, and he clarifies that the Shifting Place has come. Fire in turn shouts at Ghost, ordering him not to ignore him. Before he can finish speaking, Ghost's eyes turn a glowing white and the spirit of Tangle can be heard through his body.
Tangle inexplicitly asks why Fire did it, and swears that he caught the prey for both of them. Nothing, frightened at Tangle's vagueness, questions Fire, how Tangle really died. After Fire explains that he killed Tangle in belief that the latter had caught the prey for himself, Tangle's spirit repeatedly insists that he was going to share it. Fire, in horror, begs for Ghost to stop channeling his spirit. Ghost complies, and his eyes return to normal. Ghost then turns to Nothing and tells her that it's time for them to go. Before the two leave, Fire fearfully asks what he is, and Ghost simply answers that they are called Ghost.
Nothing and Ghost arrive at the Shifting Place, and Nothing questions if she is dreaming. Ghost states that dreams are no less real than this moment, yet adds that she is not dreaming. Entering the Shifting Place, he tells Nothing to follow him. A brief moment passes, and he realizes that Nothing has not moved an inch. He asks her why she isn't moving, and Nothing confesses that she was serious when she asked Fire to kill her. Ghost sympathetically stares at Nothing, as she explains that she feels like everything is too broken to fix, and that she's easily replacable due to merely being a reincarnation of Kyoga. He eventually walks up to her and reassures her that she, as an individual, matters. He states that she is good, and Nothing points out that he doesn't even know her. He disproves this by telling her that her name is Nothing, and that she loves one called Feather and one called Hover. He explains that she has been wounded by the cruelty of the world, but is good because she hasn’t let it make herself cruel. Nothing wonders how he knows that, and Ghost simply tells her that he wants to heal the world just as much as Nothing does.
Ghost encourages the lioness to follow him as he once again sets a paw inside the Shifting Place. She reluctantly does so, and the Shifting Place becomes completely covered by the desert sand before disappearing, shifting somewhere else with both of them in it.
