He's beginning to gain himself quite the reputation for being a rough character.

I couldn't be more agree! Mohawk started as the less dominant member within the Avoca coalition of three males, Now, He is becoming more and more confident and I dare say the most dominant of the three. He chased Nhenha on his own and  face to his brother Dark-maned

When it comes to mating and food rights all we have seen is that Blondie is the dominant male over Mohawk. 
By this I don't mean that there is a specific pecking order in this coalition as the duo have such strong ties that I doubt there is much difference between the two!

Mohawk was seen mating with a lot of females lately, so it still to be seen who's the dominant among the two males. In my personal opinion, Mohawk took the dominance at the moment.  
Anyway, They're just two males, so their dominance will changing

Is this location part of their normal territory or are they revisiting their old stomping grounds? It seems very far east but I know they used to hang out there a while ago.

They were hang out there a few times before. They seems to established as dominant more in Kruger than Sabi Sands. A bit unlucky as these boys could have been a real force in the area
