Rani is Surak's niece, leader, and eventually his queen after the passing of Janna. He follows her lead without question and always offers sound counsel and support.
Baliyo is Surak's nephew and tries to keep Baliyo from acting rash. They are close and fight well together in their duty to protect the Tree of Life. Upon the passing of Janna, Surak comforted his nephew as they shared in their mourning.
Initially, Surak thought Kion and his Lion Guard were hostiles though Surak was intrigued by Kion's Roar, correctly suspecting it to be the Roar of the Elders. After Janna requested Rani to bring the visitors to her, Surak was surprised by how the Lion Guard cleared the mountain passage but didn't venture any closer.
Surak came to respect Kion and see him as a fierce warrior and a worthy leader, especially after Kion banished Makucha's Army from the Tree of Life using his newfound mastery over the Roar. It wasn't long after that Kion would join Surak's family as his nephew-in-law by Kion's marriage to Rani, making him Surak's king.
