Tarzan is the orphaned son of a British lord who was raised by a pride of apes in the African jungle and later discovered by a group of explorers. Edit
John Clayton was stranded with his parents, the Lord and Lady Greystoke, on the West coast of Africa. Being forced to fend for themselves, his parents soon died while John was only an infant. He was then taken in and raised by a group of great apes. One in particular took on the parental role, she was known as Kala. John was named Tarzan which means "White Skin".
As an adult Tarzan happened upon a group of human explorers, among them Jane Porter, with whom he developed a friendship.
Abilities
Due to his wild upbringing and need to survive in a dangerous jungle environment, Tarzan has developed extraordinary abilities. He has acute senses of smell and hearing. His body is in peak physical condition and his agility is far above average, enabling him to climb and leap from trees and fight animal foes with his bare hands if need be.
Tarzan carries a simple knife and commonly wears only a tattered loin cloth as protection. He sleeps in the trees and eats raw meat and vegetation as his diet.
The Lord of the Jungle on numerous occasions comes to the aid of those in need, both human and animal. He strongly values family and living with honor.
