Brief Bio:
Born and bred for war, Taka was once a decorated War General in the court of King George. He led armies into war, and yea, even his mere presence at battle seemed to assure Victory itself. But as a war general, he was ruthless, and often bloodthirsty. His methods were violent, and his tactics seemed to put not just his own men and his own life at risk, but the lives of civilians, women and children as well. He would burn entire villages, slaughter thousands if it meant securing victory for the crown.
Yet, it was these very tactics that led to his downfall, as when his tactics reached King George, he denounced the war general, and had him imprisoned in the dungeons, awaiting death. Refusing to leave his child fatherless, he called on Rumplestiltskin, and cut a deal. He would live, but owe the man his daughter.
Believing himself to be as cunning, if not more so than Rumplestiltskin, (Erroneously, on his part.) he tried to manipulate his way out of it, telling Rumplestiltskin in explicit language to go away. Rumplestiltskin agreed, but left a bottle for him to drink, which would end their bargain-or so he thought. Taka, who had long since earned his new name of Scar, drank the bottle, and his body was transformed into that of a Lion.
Unable to fully process this, his mid was clouded over with a berserker rage, and in his madness, he brutally murdered and mutilated his wife, and was about to brutally murder his daughter when her face snapped him out of it.
He then spent the next 12 years atoning for his wife, using his newfound size and strength as a mercenary, carrying his daughter with him wherever he went. Though his deeds were honorable, his methods were grim and violent.
