== Background ==
=== Early Life ===
Not much is known about Leon and his childhood years. He was born in Portland, Oregon and later moved to a small town miles away where he lived on a farm. He was forced to help tend the crops at an early age which allowed him to grow a strong sense of responsibility from a young age. Unable to go to school to help with the farm since his fathers passing, Leon often feels uneducated and consistently mentions his dream of going to school. 
When Leon was 13 he was in a bad car crash when delivering a box of produce to the local store a few miles from home. He was rushed to the doctors where they had discovered a new form of Personality Disorder formed in his brain. Leon and his multiple personalities are mainly all harmless except a few rare cases where personalities would clash, he has however learned to manage a few of his more 'harmful' personalities. 
=== Life In Los Santos ===
Wanting a fresh change of pace of the small town life, Leon moved a state over to Los Santos, California. Unsure of where to go or how to act in this new city, Leon found himself at the doorsteps of a popular and cheap apartment complex on Alta Street. This would be his residence for about a year, along with multiple houses he has since parted from. Unsure of how to make money, he was taught to chop cars, which Leon didn't realize was illegal at first until getting caught a few weeks later and taken to jail. 
Leon has made multiple friends since moving to Los Santos, some have stayed while others have left, however the most notable would be Kanji Katashi whom would be Leon's first real step into the criminal world. 
== Kanji Katashi and The Gambling Addiction Arc ==
=== Act I: The Money Problem ===
Kanji and Leon become best friends very quickly. With both having very complex mindsets and dramatic mood swings, they found themselves sitting at a park bench broke. Both had the idea to get a little money and go to the casino where they would try their luck at the wheel and blackjack for quick cash. Both Leon and Katashi found themselves addicted to the rush of gambling. Spending most of their times making money and losing at the casino they realized they needed a better method of making money, Katashi then came up with the greatest idea Leon had ever heard before, scamming people for money. They began asking multiple people for a small loan of $1,000 all the way to $5,000, promising they would be paid back in a few days. They were able to make about $25,000 where they then went to the casino and bet it all in one hand on the blackjack table. They lost, putting them in a massive debt with multiple people including Sana Uchiha, Lucas Spade, and Bella Lux. 
=== Act II: Personalities Clash ===
Leon and Katashi were on the run and in hiding. Being shot at and chased by multiple including OTT and his gang as well as many close friends to Leon. Leon decided it would be best to wear a mask, he found a monkey mask that would cover his whole face, hoping it would disguise him well enough. He decided a russian accent would be best to cover his normal voice. He later met Shae Voltec, a close friend even to this day. A few weeks had passed and Leon became widely know as Monkey, a nickname that would be his main identifier for years to come. This mask led to his Personality Disorder to become more complex then it had in years and cause his personalities to consistently clash. Many of his more dangerous egos would start to peek from this day forward, causing him to do more crime and hide the real Leon. This would lead to a 2 month break from life long friend Katashi.
=== Act III: The End ===
After learning how to do crimes such as boosting and selling drugs, Leon had money. He wasn't rich but he was able to be comfortable enough to put food on the table and buy gas when he needed it, which was something he hadn't had in a long time. Leon received a call from his old friend Katashi asking if he could meet and that it was serious. Leon raced over as fast as he could to the graveyard where he found Kanji sitting alone. The two sat and talked about how crazy life had gotten and how much the city changes people. Kanji had to disappear, his family were searching for him and he was unsure if he could ever come back. The two sat in silence and hugged each other for the first time in a long time. Leon felt something in himself he hadn't felt in a long time, sadness. Kanji Katashi was his brother, not in blood, but in the tears they wept for each other that day. The two said their goodbyes, and walked away from each other for the last time.
