== History ==
=== Origins ===
Born in Seville, his parentage is unknown, only that his father was a mercenary knight, who made his way to the Easternlands, to the Talmerian Kingdom. His father served as the Sworn Sword to the then Lord-Viceroy of the Northeast Territory, Lord Faramir Easternling. During a Northeastern Revolt in the Fall of 16 CE, his father served in battle and made a strong victory that led to the Victory of the Talmerian Kingdom, to which his father was rewarded the hilltop area where the enemy camped, a strong ground with former ruins of a fort. His father built a strong castle upon the ruins of the fort, renaming it Castle Jakehall. But after his father's death in battle, the castle was taken and the twelve-year-old boy was smuggled out of territory to his grandfather in Seville, where he was born.
He was taken care of by his grandfather for almost two years after which he died of the yellow plague. He was then taken under the care of his aunt, a sea captain who moved him to Antos to live with his distant uncle who served as a father figure and mentor for the years to come. Léon grew up alongside his adoptive brother (and distant cousin), Françis of Antos. His aunt often visited him when she came on shore.
=== Youth ===
By the age of sixteen, Léon with his brother Françis was trained in swordsmanship and trading by their father, Lord Edgar of Antos, a merchant nobleman. The two were also well-schooled from the Civil Academy of Seville.
The two brothers were fine duelists and were often found being chased by guards of being either caught fighting in the taverns or caught in bed with a noble's or an officer's daughter. After being tried too many times in Seville in womanizing, the duo was exiled from Seville, to which the brothers traveled east, providing their service as sellswords to bodyguard merchandise or noblemen along their way.
By the time, Léon turned twenty, he had participated in several duels and became a popular sellsword in the region of Northern Arden. But soon after, the two brothers parted ways, with Françis traveling further east to Tyrinia to being enlisted in the Order of Franks, while Léon joined Captain Mondor's Crew of Privateers under the protection of the Emirate of Albania.
