Sir Sam Mingo

Sir Sam Mingo, named in legend as "The Shadow Griffin", is an immortal magical Doctor Facilier-like Griffin with a flammingo head and legs. He was the wizard adviser of the first king of Griffinstone, and was a deceptive and dishonest Griffin who wanted to keep Idol of Boreas to himself. However, when the first king befriended Celestia and brought the griffin colony and in greater terms, the greater griffin nation of Griffinmainia, Sam felt that in light of the fear war mess, it felt stupid to befriend ponies after what the Judu Des clan did to many griffins and among other creatures. Sam desided that if the king is gonna ignore his advice, he will make him and the ponies regret tampering with his logic. He met up with the Goat Men of the badlands and asked them to see The Foredodeing Anichents, and in return to offer the souls of any pony and even griffin that dares challnage him again, the Anichents made him immortal and capable of magic. He returned to try and usurped the king of his throwne and to claim the idol all for himself. But dispite beating the king, he failed to maintain the loyalty of the griffins themselves, and with help from Celestia, Sam was ultamately ousted from Equestia. Many years later under the rule of a new king, Sam was still around and asked the king of the goatmen, Arimaspi, to steal the idol and to enable Sir Sam to come back a hero and then to become king to send the griffins into the days of warmongering and enslave the ponies. However, karma was not so kind, and not only the Goatmen king was lost, but so was the idol. The Goatmen forced Sam to become their king as a repentence for the loss of their real king, though Sam felt that wasn't a very serious punishment and more like an illadvised reward, but he acknowledged that he needs to mend the strained relations with the goatmen regaurdless. Eventally, that is when Gilda came into existence. Sam forced Gilda to break her friendship with Rainbow Dash so no one would miss her should anything happen to Gilda on being forced to try and regain the lost idol, and cursed her grandfather to make sure unyeilding obedience. However, Gilda gave up and assumed that the idol was never real to begin with, but is still secretly afraid of Sam as a result. However, when Rainbow and Pinkie not only fixed the problem in Griffinstone, but made amends to Gilda, and due to a freak accsident, forever compromised Sam's plans, and he would clearly have no intention to let it be ignored. However, doing so, is likely to end with him dealing more then just the Main 6 and Celestia, but a force greater force he never would've anpisipated for, because he in a sense, messed with friendship which is not smiled on in Equestia, and he messed with a member of A powerful hero group that will soon make him wish he never picked on Gilda to begin with.
