Editing Lion El'Jonson (section)

=Trivia=
Named after the poet Lionel Johnson who was a (bum)chum of Oscar Wilde until Wilde spurned him for his cousin, then he posted a few emo "FUCK YOU" break-up poems on Wilde's facebook page before finding religion and penning a poem called "Dark Angel".

During his lifetime ''The Art of Thomas Hardy'' (1894), ''Poems'' (1895), ''Ireland and Other Poems'' (1897) were published. He was one of the Rhymer's Club.

In 1892, Johnson converted to Catholicism (and the 30K Johnson was betrayed by someone called [[Luther]], hmm...) He repudiated former friend Oscar Wilde and directed a sonnet at him called "The Destroyer of a Soul" (presumably the soul of his cousin Lord Alfred Douglas, whom he had introduced to Wilde the previous June). In the following year, Johnson wrote what some consider his masterpiece: "The Dark Angel". [[Lion El'Jonson|The Primarch of the bath-robe wearing Chapter is named after him.]]

He died of a stroke after a fall in the street, though it was said to be a fall from a barstool (probably as a dark joke about his drinking habits).

The Rock (the club was actually called Caliban's after Prospero's hidden evil spirit in The Tempest) is also a (now defunct) gay night club in Nottingham (where GW HQ is based). Also, he was originally referred to as "Lyyn Elgonsen", which was barely more subtle, but sounded more <s>badass</s> like someone was pronouncing it through a mouthful of co{{BLAM}}.

One can also draw analogues with the life of the Lion to the tale of Lancelot (roll with this).
*Lancelot "Du Lac" ''(of the Lake)'' > Lion "El'Jonson" (of the Forest).
*Both were spirited away from their fathers (King Ban of Benwick / the [[Emperor]].)
*Both were raised in mystical environments (Magical kingdom of the lady of the lake / warp tainted forests of Caliban)
*Both become questing knights of peerless quality, said to be almost faultless by those who meet them.
*Lancelot covets Guinevere disastrously while the Lion coveted the warmaster position and his acts of self-promotion contributed in part to the fall of the Emperor.
*Lancelot spends the rest of his life in isolation and shame and after his death his followers went on a penitent crusade clearing up his affairs - ''pretty much the same story with the Lion''.
*Lancelot was involved with the quest for the holy grail ''(which was a euphemism for [[Emperor|God]]'s '''[[Dark Angels#The Unforgiven|Forgiveness]]''')'', an artefact heavily associated with the Knights Templar whom the Dark Angels were partly inspired by. In fact it was Lancelot's son [[Cypher|Galahad]] ''(who also had a magical sword)'' who was one of the few knights to discover the grail and thus redeem his family and the kingdom. - ''See conspiracy much? Welcome to the Dark Angels''.
