[edit]
Leos was born in a small village in the South Shroud, near the border of Eastern Thanalan. Possessing a weak constitution as a very young child, he was often kept in doors and developed a shy disposition when he began being healthy enough to interact with the other children of the village, preferring to remain very close to home. This led to teasings and taunts from the other children that he grew more frustrated with the older he got. When he got to be twelve, he sought to prove to the other children that he was no ‘scaredy-cat’ and entered into the nearby forest to stay the night by himself. As Dalamud hung low, it was forbidden for the young ones to enter due to the strange and unnatural occurrences that were happening more sporadically. His parents realized he wasn’t in his bed and after speaking with some of the children, started to search the woods for him, their search becoming desperate and more frantic as Dalamud’s secret was revealed and Calamity struck the realms.
Kajah'a died as a piece of the moon slammed into the ground nearby, opting to use his magic to shield Rahka instead of himself. Rahka eventually was able to find Leos curled up on the ground, relatively unhurt but completely immobilized by fear. Managing to get him up, they ran, Leos eventually having to be carried as he soon collapsed from smoke inhalation from the fires that raged around. She managed to escape the fires, but collapsed from her own injuries where they were both discovered by Kikiru and Aanin, Dunesfolk couple who were on their way to Ul'dah to try and escape the chaos in their travel wagon. They took them into the wagon where Kikiru, an arcanist, tried to treat them. Rahka passed from her injuries, though managed to tell Kikiru of Kajah'a’s fate so that Leos wouldn't be left wondering. Leos himself managed to survive, but he drifted in and out consciousness for several weeks, not at all coherent with what had happened. While Kikiru stayed in their home in Ul'dah to continue treating and watching over Leos, Aanin searched around the areas where they had found the two Keepers, hoping to find a surviving relative to tell them that Leos still lived. Finding to ruin village and managing to talk to the few survivors that were still in the area, determined that Leos didn’t really have any other place to return to or family to take him in. Returning, the two lalafells decided they would adopt Leos and raise him as their own. It took a little over a year for Leos to recover from most of his physical injuries, but the event had left him mute for over a year and absolutely terrified of going outside. Though he started talking once again, his fears remained. He learned to stomach it if he was covered from head to toe in clothing and kept his eyes on the ground if he had to leave the safety of a sturdy roof overhead and go outside. Aanin being a Thaumaturge, Leos grew interested in the arts and was eventually introduced through Aanin’s connections to the guild and started his study. He went in with the belief that if he could master such power, he would be able to conquer his fear. And perhaps make up for the death of his parents, something he had grown to blame himself for causing, believing that if he had just been a stronger person and not gone out to the woods or at least had gone running back home instead of collapsing on the ground in fear, they would still be alive. Though he excelled at the arts, eventually finding his way into the blacker magics in an attempt to become stronger, it never really helped with his personal guilt or fear as he had hope. His uncle cautioned him about delving too deep, worried that the young mage may lose himself and Leos heeded his advice, opting to refine what he knew rather than pursue further power. His residence is in Ul’dah, in the basement apartment of a book trade/sell store that he helps run that is owned by a couple that are close friends with Aanin and Kikiru. It’s mainly centered on the older writings, like novels or fables from years/centuries before, scrolls of historic value and other things of that nature. Leos’s contribution to the shop is his knowledge of magic and helping them with the collection of manuscripts centered around magic -mainly research writings- and the occasional grimoire.
Slender, not particularly athletic. Muscle mass/fitness level very much reflective of someone who’s main form of exercise is walking/book carrying. Zero skill in things remotely acrobatic but is highly dexterous with his hands.
Observant, curious, but shy, prone to blushing and stammering slightly if he’s the focus of attention -particularly praises and compliments- He’s highly self conscious of his insecurities and self perceived flaws and it tends to bleed into his abilities to socialize. If he engages in conversation, he tends to speak in a quiet voice and avoid eye contact, unless it's someone he's familiar with. Exception being if its a topic he’s intently interested in, where he’ll forget about being nervous in his excitement.
Knowing all to well what it feels like to be helpless, Leos has a very kind and gentle nature. Sensitive to the plight and needs of others, he will offer to help if he can or point someone in the direction where they might find help if he can’t. But he is not naive to the deceitful nature that others can possess, having spent many years in Ul'dah, and is quick to discern when his kindness is being taken advantage of. It’s one of the few things that will anger him, and he does not readily forgive those sorts of people. He does have a stubborn streak that's buried under his usually passive nature and it catches people off guard when it does emerge
