Witty; Despite Leo's bluntness, he possesses a keen mind and can make witty actions. Friend; Leo is somewhat like an onion, you need to peel the bitter layers off to get to the sweet interior. Leo may be a bit rough and judgemental, but on the inside he is a giver of sound advise and overall a loyal companion. Inventory: Two swords, one ferrum and one aurum. He also carries some potions along with rations to help him on the road. He also has a vial necklace containing the ectoplasm of his fallen enemy, Benjamin Greenweed the Poltergeist. Further Details: N/A Life Style Alignment: Chaotic Good Deity: He plans on joining the clerical order and serving Tahaerie Religion: Leo lived his life in Urguan, its a rather mixed religion/culture of the Dwarven Beliefs and the Canonist Beliefs. Leo believes though that he must fight with zeal and courage in order to go to that special paradise, although he is unsure of his exact religion. Despite this, when the Urguan-Oren war happened Leo considered himself a canonist and openly stated this in public. Alliance/Nation/Home: Leo hailed from northern Urguan, but when the Urguan-Oren war occured, Leo and his family moved to Oren, and Leo fought valiantly in the war. Ever since Leo aspired to join the clerics he had to give up his Alignment towards oren, although he does not like it. Job/Class: Leo's main profession is specifically a Monster Hunter for hire.

This helps him on his hunts as a tracker can mean the difference between finding your target and coming up dry. Flaw(s): Leo's judgemental and roughness towards people can often prevent people from knowing the true side of him, which he tries to improve on. Leo also despises politics and finer ways of communication, seeing things as black and white, and him having his own complex moral code that he goes bye, therefore he can be quite a nuisance for your average Duke or High Ranking General. Weaponry Fighting Style: Hit fast and strong, and if one cannot kill someone with a single strike, move fluidly through the fight, yet with great strength and stamina.

History Leo originally hailed from Urguan, as Northerners and Dwarves were alike, stout and hardy. His mother worked in the mines, while the father used the materials she got to smith fine weapons and armor, and also other things such as horseshoes, parts for the dwarves steam engineering, and so on. As you would expect from someone raised alongside dwarves, Leo displayed traits of courage, hardiness, endurance, and honor. Everything in his life changed when the Urguan-Oren war started. Despite living alongside Urguan for all his childhood, they chose to move to the wild snows near Courland. It was here that Leo witnessed something that would change his life forever, a second time. The Marked Men had battled a troll right in front of the boy, who witnessed from a bush. The battle was hard, people got hurt badly, but the mighty beast was topped, inspiring the youth. Immediately he went home to tell his parents about the experience, and how he wanted to do it. His parents dismissed them off as children's fantasies. The young boy however was more serious then his parents thought. So he trained, reading books on monsters and their lore. Eventually he was of age where he could leave his house and go out into the word. Leo's parents did not like the idea of their son risking his life to battle the monsters that inhabit our world. Leo defiantly did. He went out into the world, training under various combat and monster lore masters to know as much as he could about the natural and unnatural beings that curse our land to his day. Leo's last, and probably most important mentor was Axel Buchoff. This man was a soldier in Courland's army, having vast amounts of experience. He, like his parents, thought foolish of the young boy when he stated he wanted to hunt monsters. Yet Leo managed to convince the soldier to teach him all he knew about combat. After a couple of years of training, Axel considered him a certified swordsman. Now armed with the skills he needed, he traversed the lands looking for work. His first stop was Istria, where he met Jentos Blackwood. Jentos was the adviser of the Duke, so he was important. The two both hunted monsters, so they had a common interest. Jentos and Leo became very close friends, but there were no contracts for monsters in Istria. This meant Leo had to move elsewhere, leaving Jentos in Istria. Leo turned his direction towards the wood elven forests, as they would be ripe with game. Seeing as the wood elven city was not a place for Valah, he turned his direction towards the hobbits of willow hollow. There he met Benjamin Greenweed, and he became the new Jentos of his life. Leo didn't know why Benjamin liked him so much, perhaps it was because Leo was a monster hunter and Benjamin was a farmer, as are most hobbits and yearned for the adventuring lifestyle that Leo had. The two were close friends before things went down... It had turned out that Benjamin was involved in crime, and needed a strong, fit man with knowledge of combat to assist him in his shady endevours. Leo did not want to lose his friend, so he kept his mouth shut about how Benjamin was involved in crime. Yet Benjamin crossed the line when he expected Leo to kill a hobbit that insulted the Greenweed name. Leo had a history with this hobbit, she was a Peregrin, basically Leo was in Celien and he stated how he killed a hobbit who tried to rob him. She did not take much liking into his actions and had an olog throw him out of a window. Leo wanted badly to kill this hobbit, but he wasn't a bad person. He had morals. So he made a split second decision, he had the Peregrin up a smashed-bottle point. Yet in a dramatic twist of events he turned around and killed Benjamin! Leo was forgiven for his past transgressions by the Peregrin, and so they went their separate ways. Leo hid the body, and went back to Felsen. It was here that he was consumed by the guilt and hatred of his actions. He turned to drink, and just wanted a chance to redeem the demons of his past. Leo had this opprotunity. It had turned out that Benjamin could not go to the afterlife, and was merely a sliver of his soul, bound to this world and haunting the innocent hobbits. Leo had a chance to hunt his first monster, and so he packed all of his weapons and loot. The brave monster hunter traveled to Willow Hollow to finish something that should have been finished a long time ago. It wasn't too hard, Leo tracked him to the Sheriff's house. It was here that Leo slayed Benjamin Greenweed the Poltergeist. Leo had also managed to 'collect' some of the Sheriff's Carbarum and aurum jewels. It was the least Willow Hollow could have payed him for killing the monster. Leo did not seek to settle down, he used this money to help him on the hunt, and so Leo went back to Jentos, living off his coin as he could spend time with his friend. The money did not matter to Leo, what mattered is that he could right his wrongs and move on with his life. To this day Leo continues the hunt, looking for monsters to hunt. Artwork
