Personality: You never know what kind of mood Leo is going to be in. He has many different sides to his personality and it can be confusing to both those that know him and those who do not. He is manic in the change of emotions quickly enough that even he does not see a difference. He's melancholy mixed with madness. He might treat you like you don't exist one moment and the next as though you are the moon in his sky. Generally, Leo has a pessimistic and unhappy view on everything, although there are exceptions. He cares for his family above all else and does not like when women are abused or talked down to. He is a gentlemen at heart and a knight in shining armor that happens to be in the dark about it.

Appearance: Always dressed nicely and not only because he's loaded with money as much as he likes to represent himself in the most respectable manner. Even if he really doesn't care at that point in time how you view him. His hair is longer than most men and the fashion in which he usually wears it rivals alongside Albert Einstein or futuristic fashion shows. His eyebrows are significantly darker than his dirty blond hair and his eyes are a dark gloomy color of black or deep mahogany. He's about 6'2" with long fingers and a not too thin frame. His lips and jawline easily give him a younger look, if not almost pouting, which he hates.

Strengths: He has values and traditional views on life that mark him at times as a gentlemen. He respects elders even if he in reality is older than them by far many years and he will open doors for ladies and so on. He is strong by not only his vampire abilities but by working out for many years now and believes in fair fights and challenges. He is skilled in this way so that he will not seriously injure someone. He knows how to not get close to people but make them believe he is and can con people into believing things that are not true. He also has a very good memory.

Weaknesses: He's a bit secretive and he doesn't like people asking questions about him, his past, or any member of his family. He can become violently moody to the point where he'll punch through a wall or throw whatever is nearest to him. Leo also is overly attached to objects and cannot get rid of things and has acquired a large collection of odds and ends in his time. Among his biggest weakness is blood. He has made it a point to not kill or seriously harm a person and has never fed on someone more than once. He tries to stick to animals, but it becomes hard.

History: Leo was born in Virgina in the late 1840s. He was the oldest son of a family full of females and he went to war in 1863 as proud as could be to serve the Confederate Army. He never returned. During a battle he was left behind as wounded and pronounced likely to die. Yet he didn't. He carried himself down a dark path trying to seek anyone for help when he came upon a house. The occupants had strange colored eyes and through a series of events he no longer cares to remember he was turned into a vampire. He ran. When he showed up home strangely fast and with a thirst for blood his mother declared him a demon. Possessed. She tried to contact a local priest and ward him away but in frustration he attacked her. He doesn't know whether she lived or died because he ran away in horror with his own mothers blood on his face. He never returned.

He spent a long time running from the Night World that deemed him an illegal vampire and set out to kill him. In the early part of the 20th century he came across another vampire named Meredith. She was intellectual and had a small group of younger vampires, like himself, who were runaway illegal vampires. They formed a sort of family bond that lasted up until now, always giving themselves the surname from a Jane Austin character. Currently they are Dashwoods and attending Ashwood Academy as Meredith, their so-called mother, got a job there. Leo is pretending to be a 17 year old Junior despite being changed at 18 and technically being over 150 years old.
