Since ancient times Lions have been a symbol of Bravey and Courage (don't quote me on that). Medieval kings have had banners based off Lions, Hunters would go to Africa to hunt lions as a sign of courage and Bravery (again don't quote me on that). So I thought what is a better way to show the emotion Courage (or Courageous if you must) then by representing it with a lion (plus I saw a picture of Dwayne Johnson playing Hercules with a lion on his head and thought that it looked amazing). So the skin is suppose to be a Greek themed warrior with a lion pelt wrapped around him.
