== History ==
=== Pre-enlistment ===
Leo Avenino Cyrodiil was born on April 13th, 2161. Other than being a straight-A student in high school and being successful in college, not much is known about his early life. While others went on to explore the distant worlds in the void, Leo decided to start his own PMC. Called the "I professionisti di Auditore" or "The Auditore Professionals," he and his company would run a variety of different contracts mostly in Eastern Europe and parts of Asia. Operations ran smoothly and money was flowing into their accounts. That was until the day it happened. When rival PMCs assisted by an unknown entity raided the main base of The Auditore Professionals, scattering everyone part of the PMC. Not long after, Leo went into hiding as the PMC silently disbanded. Unfortunately, it would not be the end of trouble as he would soon find out he had a bounty on him. Only way to escape would be getting off the planet and fast. With his account dry, he realized only way to get off Earth was to enlist in the USCMC. After a visit to the reconstruction surgeon, he was ready for a new life.

Basic training
Basic training was easy for Leo since he would often go into the field doing contract for the PMC. He would pass his training with flying colors, which lead to Wynn, his instructor, being heavily impressed. When questioned about his expertise, Leo didn't mention much as he didn't wish to get recognized even with his new face. During weapons training, he gained this somewhat symbiotic relationship with the Smartgun. After basic was completed, he was immediately put on a ship for the planet known as LV-698 or simply "Baja." 
=== Marine life ===
He would waste no time getting into combat. Most days it would just be fighting random communist insurgents that offered little resistance to him and others in the USCMC. Some days would bring a lot more than random insurgents such as dirty Xenos, the UPP, and the ones he hated the most, Clanners. All tried and all failed as he and his trusty Smartgun cut down anyone who opposed him. Leo would also take part in two battles against groups that were designated as rebels by the USCM. The first was on Reach in a coastal area called Veridian Beach. The battle there was swift as Leo and a few of his comrades would hold a facility for the entire battle while others took control of other objectives in the area. The next raid would not be so easy as it was against the Rebel Front, known for being relentless in the defense of their home. The USCMC brought two of their allies and all the personnel they could muster. The battle was almost won but the Rebel Front was able to push back enough to break the attack. Leo was stationed in the city sector after it was taken from them. He and his allies had to endure waves and waves of airborne assaults and drop pods. Even with the odds against him he would cut them down. For his efforts in the defense of the city he would receive the Rear-Guard Award. His latest battle was a hard fought one. At the Brimwood sector, a group of individuals from an unknown entity were attempting to sabotage the facilities there. In no time, teams of marines arrived to defend the area, Leo and his Smartgun also being there. His heavy use of the Smartgun in this engagement would lead to him being also named Smartgun "Punisher" Snake. Leo and his corresponding team would be the last ones alive after the engagement. Every marine deployed to Brimwood would receive the Purple Heart Award. 
=== Divisions ===
Leo was first part of the Armored Corp since he always had an affinity for tanks and other armored vehicles. Colonel givingup2 would be the one who taught him the basics behind the tank and the APC. While it would be challenging at first to get the right angles to deflect incoming rounds, he would soon be able to fight effectively in a tank like most others in the Corp. While he did enjoy using tanks, he noticed that Ank would mention many times the lack of personnel in the Aero Corp. He also noticed that the Armored Corp had an abundance of capable members in their ranks, so he decided to transfer over to Aero to assist with their personnel shortage. By the time he joined, Aero was getting some new equipment. Leo would soon find his new favorite piece of equipment, being the Nova cat. Leo would quickly become very efficient with the Nova Cat, getting many "kills" in trainings and downing many hostile bandits. After some time in Aero, he would return to the Armored Corp as they got some new equipment that peaked his interest. It was also a combination of wanting to get back on the ground after getting air time. 
In 2194, he would be made the XO of the Armored Corp. 
=== Personality ===
Leo was someone who would always do as he was told, even when he used to be the boss of a PMC. He clearly understood the chain of command. There were times though he would get somewhat frustrated from the actions of other marines that were on patrol with him. While he tried to hold it in him, sometimes he would speak up about it. He never let it disrupt his focus though. Leo also tends to be the most vocal, but in a good way. He mostly just gives callouts and rarely goofs off. 
=== Appearance ===
Leo has always worn an eyepatch on one of his eyes after the incident with his PMC being attacked. He would have his hair cut down real short to fit the hats and helmets he would be wearing. Since he is a Smartgunner he would wear the standard M3 armor with a cap and the Smartgunner headset. He also wears this pendent that resembles a wolf's head which was passed down from generation to generation of his bloodline.
