## Biography

Leon was born on Hoffnung II, a core wolfenstein planet where he grew up in a shoddy apartment with his mother. At  9 years old his mother grew sick and was no longer able to work so from extremely young Leon had to provide the income for them to survive. He joined a local gang as a drug smuggler, extorted by the older members who provided low pay for the risk of the job, however it was just enough to pay the rent and keep food on the table. Being a part of the drug world he saw brutal fights and murders before he was even old enough to fully comprehend them. As he entered his teens he found himself feeding into this brutality, getting into fights over money and drugs. At 15 his mother passed away and he was more alone than ever, yet at the same time free. Nolonger duty bound to his mother he signed up to the military and began his training, graduating at 17 and being deployed just after his 18th birthday. He found the gruelling training easy compared to his upbringing and the other recruits knew not to pick on him. His cold outer shell prevented him from making many friends however he quickly proved himself in battle, narrowly saving his squad lead from an enemy combatant with a shot clean to the skull from 250 meters. His superiors took note of his excellent marksmanship and put him through sniper school which he excelled in. After a few deployments as a sniper he got put  on a mission where his squad was ambushed. He fell back into a nearby apartment building where he would pick off over 80 enemy combatants over 3 days, holding the surrounding area until reinforcements arrived. He he received an iron cross for the event and was promoted to the position of sergeant and was sent out on multiple solo recon and assassination missions. He became somewhat of a celebrity among his peers earning the nickname “Kojote”. At the age of 31 Leon was sent out on a mission to eliminate a small terrorist cell forming in a farmhouse in the countryside of a wolfenstein planet. He had eliminated 8 of the 9 combatants on the property when the last one landed a shot on his hip. Though the shot was non-lethal and he managed to keep his composure to eliminate the final combatant he would need to call in a med-evac for himself and spend several months in a hospital on the same planet. Here we has assigned a nurse, Emily, who he became very fond of and after leaving the hospital he turned down his role back in the military to move into an apartment with her. His military savings alowed them to but an apartment big enough for a family and his wifes job as a nurse kept them afloat financially so after just a month the were engaged and quickly his wife became pregnant with twin girls, Mia and Ernest. For ten years the family lived an extremely happy and fulfilling life and Leon was able to leave his troubled past behind him and focus on raising his kids. That was until while he was out one night to have a drink and a riot began, started by anti-wolfenstein protesters wanting the planet to be independently governed. Many of the protesters had brought home made molotovs that they threw at buildings and police as they marched. As soon as Leon caught noise of the riot he attempted to rush home however could hardly move due to all the commotion. Hours later when the protesters had all been killed or detained he made it back to the ruble and ashes of what had been his home, his family confirmed dead. At fear of falling into alcoholism and wanting to get back at those who opposed the Wolfenstein, he reinlisted into the military almost straight away and was assigned the role of private in a small platoon, having been out of combat too long to regain his former rank. Having seen the great potential living in the Wolfenstein held as well as the horrors of it in his youth Leon became dedicated to serving the people of the Wolfenstein, desperately wanting to make a change for them though deep down knowing he would never be able to make such an impact alone

When Leon rejoined the army in ANX 70 he would soon find himself assigned to a group that would later be known as the D.O.G.S. Leon did not get along well with his squad, finding they put their own interests or that of their superiors above the needs of the wolfenstein people and so they would often clash. After going on many missions with them leading up to the events of Kaiserfall and the orbing, any trace of Leon was left unknown though he lived out the rest of his life alone in a peaceful mountain cabin.
