Hondo is a 26-year-old blonde-striped Zebra with deep blue eyes and former Paladin of the Steel Rangers, who was raised with his younger sister by his parents in a poor town in Equestria, home to both Zebra and Ponies living in peace, with minor exceptions. After a Steel Ranger poster happens upon him by a gust of wind, Hondo puts up in his room, and would sometimes stare in awe. Becoming inspired and driven by the desire for a better Equestria and a better life for himself and his family, he decided to leave home to seek out the Steel Rangers to join their ranks. Before leaving home, he scared his own flanks with knives and dyed his mane fully white and coat fully blonde, so he would blend in on the outside, using Raider savagery as a cover story for his scarred flanks. Eventually, he was successful, discovering a Steel Ranger base on the edge of the Palimino Desert, where he trained as a Steel Ranger Initiate, all the way to being promoted to Paladin, hiding his true species from most of his companions all the while. Sadly, he resigned from the Steel Rangers the day he was promoted to Paladin because a rival Ranger found out his big secret and threatened to reveal it. Hondo left a letter of resignation, explaining his desire to not cause any division among his fellow commanders and ranger brethren, resigned preemptively. Before joining under Captain Longmane’s command, he was leaderless and friendless, wandering the Palimino Desert alone. Before he officially agreed to swear loyalty to Lance and his group, he revealed himself to Lance, hoping the transparency would demonstrate his character, since he was already found out once. He had Lance swear not to tell the others, unless necessary, still not wanting to risk being judged harshly by them. Lance, feeling assured and sensing Hondo to bear no ill will and remembering that like he is not his kin, Hondo is not his kin either, swears thus and welcomes him to the Loyalists. Despite having a great poker face (in and out of his armor), Hondo isn’t a great price haggler. One of the signs that indicate that he is a Zebra is that he always sleeps standing up.
