Personality/Background: Born the only golden jaguar in a family of albinos, Taka was bullied by his older siblings ever since he could remember. This was the beginning of the hatred which fueled him. His parents tried their best to quell the rage, but it only grew as each day passed. The day that sealed his fate forever was the day he destroyed his family. It happened at the waterfall. One of his siblings knocked him down where he almost fell over the edge, but somehow he managed to cling on for his life. From there, things went by in a blur (at least to Taka). What witnesses saw was a golden cub leap out of the water in a rage and kick his two white siblings over the waterfall before struggling with his parents and managing to throw them into the water as well, only stopping to stare as they went over the edge. It was only after Taka had walked through his parents' blood and to the other side that he realised what had happened... and he cared not once about having just killed his family. From that day on, he claimed his father's territory as his own and killed any white creature which dared to enter its borders. He would even kill male trespassers despite not yet being old enough to mate.
The spirits of the forest, knowing of how tyrannical Taka had become, did everything they possibly could to prevent his darkness from corrupting the rain forest which they protected. This included laying curses upon the jaguar. The first curse that they laid on him made it so that he would only mate twice - once at the beginning of his mature life, once at the end - and only with the same female... a female of their choosing. And that female was a black jaguar named Melita who knew of Taka's evil tendencies and thus knew how to avoid him as much as possible.
Taka's first liter consisted of two boys and one girl; the boys golden like himself and the girl black like her mother. But even though it was prophecied that his daughter, Iliana, would be the next to rule over the territory, it was his eldest son, Conrad, that he chose to be the ruler of his territory, and he trained the cub to be as ruthless as he could make him. Thankfully, the cub's mother and the forest spirits had other ideas. Melita would make sure that Taka spent as little time as possible with his chosen heir - much to his chagrin - and would try and teach Conrad the good things of life. The spirits made sure to make the cubs' birth place a sacred place so that the evil with Taka would not be able to touch its grounds. Sadly, all these preparations only fed Taka's ever growing hatred towards life and every moment he spent away from his chosen son was used planning revenge.
It was after a massive fight with Melita that Taka found out about the prophecy of his daughter to claim his territory. Outraged, he planned, not Iliana's banishment, but her death. Finally, the night came where - in an attempt to mock the spirits and prevent their prophecy - he carried his sleeping daughter to the nearby cave of bear spirits and killed her, then blaming her death on the spirits. The Spirits, angered by this horror, laid yet another curse upon the golden jaguar stating that he will be killed by the very son that he had chosen as his heir. Unfortunately, the curse could not be fulfilled unless Conrad himself was cursed to return.
