Lionfolk

Overview
Lionfolk is an assassin best suited for hunting down injured prey, as its damage increases against enemies with lower HP percentage. Its kit doesn't have high burst damage, which makes it heavily reliant on basic attacks. However, Lionfolk makes up for that with high mobility and AoE CC.

Since Lionfolk has to stay in the opponent's face longer than an assassin with burst, it's not uncommon to go for a bruiser build. Combined with the defense buffs Lionfok can gain from Mighty Roar and The King's Dominion, it can get enough survivability to withstand long fights. However, building HP and defense greatly lowers the Lionfolk's damage output, so it's a more niche build which depends on matchup.

In the Novel
Aron used Lionfolk during Lars and Julia's entry exam into StormBlitz. In a 1v1 fight against Julia, he imprisoned her inside the Overlord's area with The King's Dominion. Since Pyromancer has no vertical mobility, she couldn't escape the cage of lions.

He then overwhelmed her in melee combat with the Lionfolk's strength and speed, as he concluded she didn't have enough combat experience to fight back. Combined with the extra damage from Superiority, he easily defeated her before she figured out how to retaliate.
