**Caspian Leon**, (née Manhauser) also known as **Caspian the Lion** and **Caspian of Whitewater** is the head of House Leon. Born in 202 ST to a midwife and a farmer in **Alabaster** he grew up impoverished and eventually at 16 in 218 ST was forced to join the **Whitewaters** for money. He soon began rising up the ranks until he eventually became the **Captain of Whitewater** and the highest ranking Whitewater General. He is 41 years old now and is the **Head of the House** for House Leon.

## Ascension to the Throne

Caspian Leon was apart of the southernmost branch of House Manhauser, and his parents desired for him to be married to secure a House Manhauser ally in the south of Hoscher. The Zhepyrians rejected their pleads to marry any women of their house, for Caspian was too dirty and rude, but the Leons - a vassal house of the Zhepyrians - wanted their daughter **Willow Leon** to get married eventually. Caspian and Willow were married in 220 ST, when both were 18 years old and legally able to marry diplomatically.

Come the head of House Leon's death, Lea Leon, in 225 ST, who'd been Willow's mother, told Willow that she wanted Caspian to inherit the house. She believed a matrilineal house would be their downfall and that Lea herself should've never been queen. Caspian inherited the throne and ascended to the King of House Leon. This led to him leaving the Whitewaters and resigning as a general.

He has slim lips and a prominent button nose with sharp, cunning, eyes. He is tall but rather lean and muscular with what he describes as "enormous hands."
