Barbatus (Hueyslinger's Fanfics)

"Don't get smart with me! You think you can come in here and drink up our water with that over-sized tongue of yours? This is OUR watering hole! We say when it's your turn!"

-Barbatus to Cheezi, A Hyena's Tale Ch. 7

Barbatus is a spotted Hyena and a Supporting character in Hueyslingers War of the Pridelands Trilogy, first appearing in A Hyena's Tale. He is Jasiri's second-in-command.

Background
After being ordered to protect their daughter on his leaders' dying breaths, Barbatus made it his main goal in life to enforce Jasiri's laws and keep order in her clan.

A Hyena's Tale (Fanfic)
Barbatus first appears when Cheezi begins to guzzle down his clans precious water. He scolds the Hyena and orders him to wait his turn. When Nne speaks against this, a fight breaks out as the other Hyenas of each clan watch on. The fight only stops when Django, a scarred Komodo Dragon, arrives on the scene, and makes a deal with them to come to the Backlands.

When Jasiri leads them to the Pridelands, Kion's Roar of the Elders accidentally destroys their territory. They find that Tombie had saved the Pups, Wema and Tunu, but received a broken leg in the process. As Barbatus tends to his injuries, he tells Janja of what happened, the latter having been gone for the whole event to show Tombie an act of kindness. Jasiri then leads the clans to the Backlands with Django, her anger over Kions destroying her home even having Barbatus on edge.
