The Story Thus Far:

Radiant Garden - "Want Ads"
Tamesis
Leon, fresh from the confines of his home world, ventured into the realm once known as Hollow Bastion and was amazed at its great beauty. However, his exploration of these strange lands were interrupted by the arrival of the Heartless, not yet known to him by any name other than "The Black Creatures". Before he could leap to the defense of the citizens, the writhing blights were scared off by the timely intervention of a mysterious and powerful sorceress. As it turned out, this woman had a task for one of Leon's unique skills: He was to seek out a boy named Riku, bearer of a Key of extraordinary properties, and pass along a message in her name.

Twilight Town - "Woah"
Riku, Xion
Leon has set off in search of the young warrior, Riku, prepared for a long, arduous journey rife with dead ends and unnecessary turns. Yet, as if guided by an external force, he came across the boy not long after departing Radiant Garden. So, he approached his target in the hopes of delivering the message of Tamesis. Leon, however, has his own agenda: Feeling the woman to be inherently untrustworthy, he wishes to send Riku a warning and offer to accompany him in his visit to the sorceress's abode. The arrival of a young girl may yet complicate the situation.

Port Royal - "Plundered"
Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart
For all his railings against Lady Fate, she has been smiling upon the ex-SOLDIER in the most peculiar of ways. Leon's journey to the rustic land of Port Royal saw that he witnessed the capture of a brawling woman at the hands of a devious pirate crew. A man of a build uncannily similar to Leon's own rushed to her defense but found himself overwhelmed by superior numbers and the crew's massive, demonic captain. The soldier of fortune leaped into action, and, together, the pair of superhuman warriors were able to fend off the swashbucklers and their monstrous leader. But what seemed, at first, to be a routine battle quickly turned to something far more exceptional. When all was said and done, Leon was faced with the astronomically implausible fact that these two were from his own home World...

Academia, Gran Pulse - "Child of Miracles"
Serah Farron, Noel Kreiss, Lightning Farron
His horizons broadening far beyond his wildest imagination, Leon continues his journey in a place whose very name indicated a wealth of scientific progress and a bounty of cosmological information. However, what once was a Utopian society had been set upon by a deep, unnerving stagnation and a curtain of shadow. In the shattered remains of a pristine civilization, Leon came across a young girl by the name of Serah and her sprite-like companion, Mog. Feeling great sympathy for her plight, he offered his services as protector until she could find her proper guardian, a man known as "Noel Kreiss".

Their search was not one of great length or effort, however, for Noel showed himself before they could so much as turn over a single stone in search of him. The two reunited with undue emotion for those who had been separated for a scant few hours, leading Leon to suspect that there was more to their predicament than first was apparent. His suspicions were confirmed by the arrival of an armored Valkyrie, an astral projection from parts unfathomable. She spoke of a great danger which threatened the many Worlds, and advised Leon to do his part in their defense.

Of course, he is more than willing to oblige her.

Goals:

Leon has departed his birthplace in search of knowledge. For too long, he has been thrown about by the tides of fate, whether it showed itself in the form of ShinRa's tyrannical regime or the foreboding blight upon the night sky known only as Meteor. The ex-SOLDIER knows all too well that there are forces at work beyond his current understanding -- or, for that matter, the understanding of any other mortal. However, he aims to change that, and so, he travels the infinite universes on a quest for true enlightenment.

As a by-product of his travels, Leon finds it inevitable that he encounter those in need of assistance. While, at the moment, he has no specific enemy to combat aside from the nebulous Black Creatures, the swordsman is ready and eager to lend a helping hand to any who cry out for it. On a deeply personal level, he is sickened by the shedding of innocent blood and tears, so he seeks to prevent such tragedy whenever possible. In short, whosoever falls within the reach of Leon's blade shall receive his devoted protection. Though his stated goal is the collection of knowledge, the defense of the innocent trumps all else in the mind of the young warrior.
