Sadly i haven't found any more info on him/them yet. The only known fact is that he lived in the Mara Triangle probably with his brother or brothers in the 2000's. Around 2005 they sired the 4'km males - it is sure that he was Lipstick's father, but i still couldn't find any more...
Here are some more photos of him from this time also from Suzi Eszterhas:

Yeah, and also Merrinyo was the same blonde specimen along with Kini - probably his brother from the same litter, what a shame for his last year's demise...
Also Lemurt is so impressive and he has the largest body/weight among them, all of Olerai's sons are/were beautiful!
I think if they still were a coalition of 5 males along with Lerai and Merrinyo, now they would be chasing off the 4 aging Mara North/Ex-Offbeat males by now.
Here are some photos to their late father, the mighty Olerai from 2020:
