{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"

Timon (also known as Cinnamon Bun by Willow) is the  Secondary Protagonist in Before The Mission and the Movie & Series, The Meerkat Mission. He's Zissa and Buzz's eldest son and Willow's Eldest twin brother. He's 4 in the prologue, 22 in 1½ and 24 in The Meerkat Mission.

Background
During the Climax of Before The Mission, after Willow was born, Timon is shown to prize his little sister. Timon proposed that he will show Willow what the Meerkat lifestyle has to offer. Timon and willow growing up where connected hip-to-hip, always going on adventures and playing together. years later When a cobra breaks into the tunnels, Willow and Timon are separated and remain that way 20 years later. After Timon believes tat Willow was brutally killed by the snake, he mourns and laments over her death till he's 24 of age.

After the events of 1½ (approx 2 years later), Timon alongside his best friend Pumbaa, his mother and uncle live peacefully in the Jungle that he & Pumbaa called Hakuna Matata. Though he may seem everything in his life is truly complete, he begins re-thinking about his life back in the tunnels, including his twin sister, Willow and his father, Buzz.

Personality
Timon can be self-centered and thoughtless at times. But in the end, he has a good heart and is loyal to his friends and family. Unlike most meerkats, who work constantly, Timon is a daydreamer which results in him being an outcast of his colony.

His status at the bottom of the food chain means he relies on stronger animals to protect him once he's on his own, and as such, he usually looks out for himself, but nonetheless, never abandons his friends and family in times of trouble and is willing to risk himself for them. He is also shown to be self-absorbed and not as clever as he'd like to think he is, such as sometimes claiming Pumbaa's good ideas as his own.

Timon is not incapable of thinking up his own plans, though, as shown by one of his greatest moments being the "Tunnels" plan in 1½.
