HISTORY
"This has Spoilers for all Lion King Family Tree Episodes."Fleck was born to Shada and Kion during Kiara and Kovu's reign. His mother died a few weeks after Fleck's birth due to an infection. Kiara took care of Fleck because Kion was grieving for his mate and could not take care of him. During his cub years, he was seen as the worried and nervous one. He would often be scared and cause false alarms.

When he grew older, he was the one that discovered the hairless monkeys when Kito got attacked by one. None of the pride believed him until Kito returned and confirmed it. When Linus joined, Fleck was the only one that did not accept him, but no one cared.

Fleck was also noticing how much Jynx was starting to get more and more dangerous. No one believed him, especially Inja, the queen at the time. He kept trying until Kovu saw with his own eyes what Jynx was doing. Unfortunately, Kovu died before the two lions could convince the pride. Fleck made a promise to Kovu before his death that the lion would protect the Pridelands, no matter what.

Inja banished Fleck from the Pridelands when Kovu died, without communicating with the council of The Lion King. He went to the Wilds to get Sharp’s help. After a few weeks, they attacked the Pridelands. Fleck hurt Jynx when he was caught off guard and banished him and his father Linus to the Elephant Graveyard until they left for good. Since Inja died in the fight, Fleck became the King of Pride Rock.

Seeing as he was getting older, he was worried who would succeed him. He wanted to have a lion who had the lineage from Simba, but he knew it was not possible. Myst made her own clan, the Mystics, so she refused. Fleck made Colmech his right arm lion and thought about making him the successor. However, Fleck was bothered that he was not a descendant of Simba.

One day, Colmech told Fleck three lions were approaching the Pridelands. It was Kito and his mate, Ashy, and daughter, Saphira. Fleck then made Saphira his heir and promised to teach her everything about being a queen and her ancestors. Fleck became relieved when Saphira became more suited to be queen.

Falidea came one day and asked the lions to leave. Fleck explained the great kings had always ruled the land, but she explained her side. He still refused, determined to find a more peaceful solution. Fleck suggested sharing the rock, with the Serval Clan on the bottom, and the Pridelanders on the top. She refused, saying she came to warn him about war, not make peace. Fleck wanted to avoid war, but he had to prepare for anything. He told Colmech to go to the wilds and Saphira to the Mystics to warn them about the servals. Fleck became increasingly worried about Pride Rock and the Pridelands. He made sure he knew everything and that no lion or lioness was caught off guard.

After many waiting, Fleck saw the servals approaching and roared to get all the lions of the Pridelanes to come and fight. He recognized Jynx with them and scolded Colmech for mocking him. Fleck asked the banished lion to leave, but Jynx refused. He tried to make Jynx realize his thinking was flawed, but it didn't work. The Pridelanders were preparing and waited for the Wilds to come. When Jynx made it to Pride Rock, Fleck saved Colmech from Jynx's grasp while Rocco fought him. He told Colmech to run tot he wilds as he heard Jynx escape Rocco. Fleck tried one more time to reason with Jynx, but he didn't change his mind and attacked. The old lion tried fighting back as best he could, but the younger, stronger lion pinned him down. He was saved by Rocco, who told him to run to the wilds. He promised he would get Pride Rock back.

Fleck gave up soon after, as he was too old and just wanted peace. He even told his right arm to give up on his heir, who was missing.
