Pantouffle(VVM052) was born into the Vivian Mob on April 9, 2000. His mother was Rhian and his father was Snert, a Balrog rover. He was born with four litter-mates named Velvet(VVF050), Viv'e(VVF051) and Vervain(VVM049). Pantouffle and his litter-mates survived to adulthood. As an adult meerkat, He started to help out with the pups and taking sentry duties. Like all adult males, he started to rove soon after his first birthday in 2001. One day in mid 2001, Pantouffle went roving with his older uncle Kamaswami and met up with three former Vivian males. His uncles Basil and Govinda, and cousin Zazu had reccently left the near by Whiskers when they encountered the two young Vivian males. The males roved at many groups until they came across the Lazuli mob which was short on adult males.
