Leandre

**Leandre** is Cassandre's brother and one of the last Arcadians.

## Story

After an unknown Cataclysm that wiped out most Arcadians, Leandre and Cassandre were the only survivors. While Cassandre eventually fell and lost her memories, Leandre followed his own ambitious path, seeking to rebuild the race by using Cassandre as the mother of his children, second-generation Arcadians. However, Cassandre had no interest in this, preferring the company of humans and even the corrupted hybrid Shaar.

Infuriated, Leandre resolved to capture and torture Shaar to force Cassandre to comply, but the latter, alongside Lightbringers, managed to free Shaar, prevent Leandre's human emissary Alto from killing him as well, and cornered Leandre in his own castle. Although Leandre tried to oppose her through dialogue then through force, he almost succumbed himself to Arcadian metamorphosis, and instead collapsed unconscious, Cassandre watching over him afterwards.

When Cassandre returned to the past to mend what she deemed broken, she returned to Leandre and attempted to persuade him to forgive the human race, whom he saw as responsible for his family's slaughter. When Leandre refused at first, Cassandre searched the world for a human able to prove him wrong, and found Margot, whom she presented to him. While at first quite close to the idea, Leandre's vision of Margot warmed up with time, and he accepted to help Cassandre in her journey, granting her Staccato's blueprints.

## Appearance

Leandre is a blonde, red-eyed nobleman, dressed in the sophisticated, white, blue and silver fluffy clothes of the Arcadian nobility.

## Personality

Leandre is a harsh, traditionalist Arcadian - one who believes that humans are a lesser race and holds no respect for them, even less for corrupted races such as Drow or Orc species. He is extremely protective of his sister, to a point that borders on possessiveness - and somewhat disgusts Cassandre herself. Arrogant and manipulative, he cares more about eventual offspring with Cassandre than about the rest of the world.

Leandre's personality was greatly expanded during Cassandre's return to the future, as a child prodigy whose family was taken from him at a very young age, and who blamed humans for the Cataclysm that devastated his world; fearful of humans' greed, ambition, and quickness to change, he hid behind contempt and hatred, but his encounter of Margot slightly warmed him up to humanity - at least, enough for him to accept cohabitation instead of annihilation.

## Powers

* **Void Use:** Leandre possesses a natural affinity with Void, as most Arcadians do, and can warp people and memories using his considerable powers.
* **Chaos Use:** Leandre has a terrifying mastery of Chaos, as described on Mantinea, and lightning is his main method of attacking and torture.
* **Arcadian Form:** Leandre can transform into a massive dragon-like beast, revealing his true form, bolstering his physical abilities to supernatural-level and granting him various powers, including a concentrated Void breath.
