Leon Neli

Leon Neli is the youngest child of Jorario Neli and his wife Alyssa. Born in 387 A.C. Leon was born into a family of rich merchants in the city of Lannisport. After a life shielded from the world, he decided at the age of 16 to travel Westeros and has been traveling since.

Appearance and character
The first thing anyone approaching Leon would notice is his shoulder-length caramel brown hair. Underneath his locks lay a pair of dull green eyes. His chin is covered in a beard the same shade as his head. Usually, he would wear a standard green cloak. Underneath his cloak, he always wears his leather jerkin. His boots are worn and old, but are still solid and still have a few more years left in them. Strapped to his back he still carries the same dagger as he did when he left.

Murder, thievery, and banditry are common on the road, but Leon is proud to say that he has never resorted to any such means. Coming from a family of merchants with a more than the usual baggage when it comes to bandits, Leon was taught early that piracy was the greatest sin of all. While he does his best to help anyone in need even he can't save everyone. A burden that weighs heavily on him.

Family history
The family of Neli originally comes from Tyrosh, there they owned numerous properties, but all was lost after the catastrophic raid of their entire merchant fleet. Their family wealth gone, and their enemies closing in on them from all direction Jorario Neli fled the city with the last money he had managed to collect. The ship carried him to Lannisport there he would start selling Tyroshi goods, acquired through various means. After some time in Lannisport Jorario would meet Alyssa, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, and they soon married. Not long after they would have their first children.

Early life
Being born into a wealthy merchant family Leon was given the opportunity to become anything he wanted. While his father had hoped of a knight who could represent the family at noble gatherings, his hopes were quickly crushed. Instead of attending his lessons, he could instead be found pouring over books in the library. Specifically looking for anything medical. At the age of 10, Leon was sent to the Citadel. There he would remain for the next three years. He forged four chains in his time there, silver, medicine, and healing; bronze, astronomy; copper, history; and Valyrian steel, magic. Returning home he was welcomed with the cold shoulder of his family. He would stay there for a year before leaving with his possessions, never to return. Understanding that a fourteen-year-old boy could not possibly survive out in the wild alone he found a sept not far outside Lannisport. He would study there for two years before finally leaving in 403 at the age of sixteen.

Recent events
Leon has finally concluded his travels in the Westerlands, Riverlands, North, and Vale. Now he has arrived in King's Landing and is ready to explore the rest of the continent.
