He quickly rose up the ranks and each Kishin killed resulted in him becoming more and more skilled in combat and adept in the art of using his fire magic. However he wasn't the best at communicating and fighting alongside people he didn't trust. Therefore it was very common for Leon to jump from group to group, never able to find a group he felt at home with. As a result of this Leon took breaks off working with the hunters guild and reuniting with Xavier and Zac, and their newest member to their little crew. Chiaki Matteri a tech wiz who assisted the team in various ways. The four of them would do jobs for the Saijo gang and take part in other mischievous events.

Leon managed to flee from the scene however Zac and Xavier were killed protecting him. Leon kept to the streets and to himself, doing everything he could to survive in the ruins of New London, However a serious wound to his abdomen he had taken during the attack prevented him from moving far, till eventually his camp was ambushed by a Kishin and he was forced to run. Luckily he ran into his old fiends Kaito, Jane and Shiro who helped him finish off the Kishin and heal his wound. Afterwards Leon was able to re-unite with Chiaki in the hunters guild and stayed there with her.

### 2063

#### Stronghold

After Khorne was defeated Leon set out to achieve a goal slightly more personal, discover the fate of his father and the stronghold. Unfortunately the secret entrance from New London to the stronghold outside of the walls was sealed off. Leon had no choice but to venture off in the dangerous wilderness to find it. After weeks of searching Leon finally came across the stronghold but not in the condition he expected it to be. What remained of the stronghold was filled with cultists. After fighting his way through the majority of the cultists with the assistance of some mercenaries he had hired Leon found some imprisoned survivors. They informed Leon that a riot broke out over the dwindling supply of food. Many people accused Maximilian that he was hoarding food away from everyone else. The stronghold turned against him and chaos broke out resulting in Maximilian's death. Then more fights rose to determine who would be in charge of the stronghold during this mess cultists found and attacked the stronghold after somebody lowered the defences to let them in, the man responsible for this was quickly executed. However it was too late and the cultists slaughtered anyone who posed as a threat and used the survivors for rituals. Leon was enraged by this and in his fury burnt down the entire stronghold from the inside killing any remaining cultists. He then set off back to New London.

#### Founding of the Santillo Hotel

There were only a few survivors of the attack and they along with Leon returned to Leon's old mansion, rebuilding it and forming the Santillo Hotel. Seeing that the once proud mansion stood tall again multiple ex members of the said gang who had survived the Kishin attacked flocked to the hotel to seek refuge. Leon employed them as staff and security for the hotel. However Leon had other plans too he decided to use his fathers old drug lab and transform it into one large brewery to brew various alcohol to be sold and the Hotels and bar.
