Rometto possesses a unique gift of rebirth thanks to the blood of his demon father. After each death, he returns to the world as a little lion cub in a random place. His maturation is accelerated.
In adolescence, memories begin to return to him. This process happens in flashes and is sometimes incredibly painful — like a sudden electric shock of several volts. It forces him to relive past tragedies over and over again and seek his path and those dear to him once more. At the moment, Rometto is living his 19th life. It is in this incarnation that his body reached its true greatness and colossal size naturally, becoming the absolute pinnacle of his physical development.
Rometto was born in harsh lands in a foreign realm ruled by hyenas. His mother was the lioness Lily, and his father was the cruel demon Marbas. Discovering the spark of his power in his son, Agares tried to destroy him by throwing him off the cliffs into the gorge. Rometto survived thanks to the intervention of shamans of an ancient cult, who became his new family and taught him magic. Later, Rometto engaged his father in battle. He managed to imprison his father in stone, which later disappeared without a trace. The price of victory — a severe injury to his right paw.
In the great empire of Dalor, Rometto became a legend. Being the right hand of the great kings Jax, Munol, and Augustus I, he became famous as a fearless warrior and wise shaman. Rometto had believed in the legend of the Golden Lion since childhood, but that lion had long died. In this pride, he was the first to bring a hyena — his loyal friend Charlie. However, betrayals led to the death of his friends. Due to an alien will that enslaved his demonic power, Rometto was cursed, and his eyes blackened. After the fall of the empire, in rage he burned its ruins to the ground.
In his 16th rebirth, Rometto founded his own pride Reverse Time, but the gods, frightened by his power, chained him in heavenly chains. For years he watched the suffering of his children from the heavens, until rage gave him the strength to break the shackles. Rometto declared war on the heavens and crushed many deities. This tragedy left a mark: his daughter is alive. She carries his blood and acknowledges him, but constantly reproaches her father for not being there in difficult times.
Despite his past loneliness, Rometto surrounded himself with allies:
- Krystallina: The only lioness with whom he shares a strong, pure friendship. In the past, they had sexual relations, but they remained best friends. Both are firmly convinced that sex cannot ruin true friendship.
- Valter: A lion who became almost like a blood brother to Rometto.
- Richard: Rometto's adopted son.
- Phill and Bess: Loyal friends, a lion and a lioness, always ready to support.
- Batet: A lioness friend who is currently considered missing.
