For Always (S10xEpilogue)

Liam Leighton doesn't have any biological family that appears in the series, however, he does mention having a boyfriend named Brooks who was killed by Rhea Forest. He has also known Isobel Kady Zora since she was born and she is one of the 11 people who travels to Basilisk with him from The City of Targo as a part of Hannah's Clan. In Season 7, Liam works closely with Fenn Jakson after informing him about the implants Hannah is using on his people - including two of the Sovereigns, and during their time in the Bunker, he and Fenn enter into a relationship with each other. In the epilogue of Season 10, Liam is revealed to have rescued an orphaned boy with Fenn Jakson, and they raise him as their own. They name him Ary Brooklyn Jakson-Leighton to honour the former partners of him and Fenn who both died under tragic circumstances (Ares Bell and Brooks Atawood). A few years later, they adopt a young girl named Gracie Saya (Gracie Jakson-Leighton) after her mother died due to an infection and she bonded with Liam who worked on distracting her whilst she was keeping her mother company in the medic tent.

**Fun Trivia:**

Liam is from The City of Targo and originally a part of the enemy clan - Hannah's Clan - that was invited into Basilisk due to Hannah's connections with Sovereign Wynn's brother.

Excluding the children from Hannah's Clan (Katherine, Mable, Dex, Izzy, Joshua, Isaiah), Liam is the only member to be accepted into Basilisk. This is because he betrayed his former clan members to help Fenn Jakson and Sovereign Wynn by telling them about Hannah's implants.

He worked as a trainee Engineer in The City of Targo.

His role within Basilisk is a Cook/Gardener. His favourite class is Cooking & Rations Class.

He was pronounced a member of Basilisk by Sovereign Wynn whilst inside the Bunker.

During their time in the Bunker after the flood, Liam and Fenn started their relationship.

His son is named in tribute to both his, and Fenn's former partners: Ary Brooklyn Jakson-Leighton.

His former boyfriend, Brooklyn, was killed after he was injected with one of Hannah's implants and it malfunctioned. Despite blaming Hannah (and the other adults of Hannah's Clan) for his boyfriend's death, Liam decided to keep his feelings undercover as he knew that Hannah had an advantage within camp due to working closely with Rhea. When Liam saw that Hannah had a way out of The City and entry into another clan, he remained close until he could form his new alliance within his new clan. He ended up saving a Sovereign's life which guaranteed him entrance into Basilisk, regardless of the other members of Hannah's Clan.

Prior to adopting their daughter, Gracie - Fenn and Aeryn worked on her mother (Maddie Saya) to try and save her life. Despite their best efforts, after 4 days in the medic tent, Gracie's mother passed away after an infection from an injury. Because Gracie's biological father had passed away a few years before, Liam decided to take care of Gracie and keep her distracted whilst her mother was in the medic tent. Upon learning that she had no surviving family members after her mother's death, Liam suggested to Fenn that they adopt Gracie as they had already adopted a child before.
