History
Tenma was one of the many animals that was chosen to become the ruler of his species during the Kingdom Council Summit thousands of years ago. He was given the staff as his divine weapon and was tasked with keeping the peace throughout his species for eons to come.

Sometime later after ruling his kingdom of monkeys for a while he came across a man who simply reffered to himself as Otako.Otako came to the jungle in search of Monekys in order to study them/ At first Tenma was hostile towards him,, threataning to kill him if he doesnt leave the jungle. After sometime though, Tenma grew to trust him and bonded with Otako. When it was time for Otako to leave Tenma came up with the excuse that he didn't want Otako to leave in order to protect his people from the humans in order to keep him here. So Otako stayed for a few extra months. During that time a group of powerful mages attacked the jungle in which Tenma lived and it caused him to have an even bigger distrust to all humans. However, when Otako saved him and his people he decided to repay the debt by becoming his loyal servant after subjecting him to a series of physical tests. This was the starting point of Beast King Card Magic.
