Named after Patrick Axlen, technical artist, who worked on both costumes. - Linseytalk 01:05, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, because I was really waiting for someone to say he was named after Aslan, from the book/movie series, due to some similarity between lions and costumes with a circus or carnival somewhere in the middle. -- FreedomBound 01:37, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
