Biography
Edit
Leon was born as the eldest of three children to an Irish Airbending family. His early years were composed of running the family farm. Leon's father, a veteran of the Great War, taught his three sons everything he knew about the Bending Art. His skills advanced to the point where The Gunslingers took notice of him.
Sometime between the events of The Unknown and The Gunfighter Leon was accompanying Liam Rider in Italy while searching for the new Avatar. However they where ambushed and Liam was killed. Before he died however, Liam entrusted Leon with the object that allowed travel between worlds, asking that he deliver the object to his son John.
A short while later, Leon learned that the New Grandmaster had branded John a traitor, ordering that all members kill him on sight. Leon quickly devised a way to save his old friend by sending him to the World of the Avatar. However, in order to do so, he had to locate John, who had gone into hiding. After a long time of searching, he finally located John, who had been hiding in Nepal since being betrayed.
With six men being killed by John's hand, Leon reviled the reason why he was there, as he was not trying to obey the Grandmaster's orders but rather save his life. He then handed over the object and arranged for an unmanned drone to destroy the shack where he had been living.
With John's departure, Leon took command of what would quickly become an open rebellion against the Grandmaster. However they were outgunned and outnumbered, quickly being battered into a corner after many battles with the Loyalists. Seeing no other option, he sent a call for help to John, asking to be brought to Republic City.
