Lionel Ezra Cross

==Overview==
Lionel Ezra Cross is currently residing within Leighland Abbey, acting as Paladin-Marshal for the Praxis of Light, having arrived in the year 1194.
=== Appearance ===
Lionel, or Leo, is a dusty-looking and spectacled man with a nervous air about him. He always wears a cross, the insignia of his family, around his neck on a gold chain and a leather-bound book of the Light with the same insignia on its front cover on his hip. He has a certain bookish charm to him, and can be commonly seen reading.
==Background==
=== House Cross ===
Lionel was born to Lisa and Liam Cross, a pair of light mages belonging to House Cross in Sweetbridge, in Westershire, Alenthyl. He'd grown up loving books and music, especially the piano; which he'd known how to play since the early age of four when his parents hired him an instructor by the name of Remì Gaudìere, an Antonellan concert pianist, who Lionel had always dreamed of following the footstops of.
Apart from Remì, Lionel didn't have many friends and kept to himself for the most part, hardly even interacting or playing with his cousins. He'd spent most of his time behind a piano, or in a church reading and teaching scripture to children.
