Description
Baron Leo is a lion man seems to be almost closer to a Fairest than a Beast. He dresses impeccably but not ostentatiously. His proper British accent rolls from his tongue with a rich, full booming voice when the mood strikes him, otherwise his sweet, simple demeanor speaks of hope and chivalry with a rogueish smile. He comports himself in the manner of a gentleman, gracious and noble, but with an affable air about him. His reddish-brown mane is tastefully quaffed. His piercing green eyes are somewhat entrancing. His handsome, leonine features and rakish smile makes him seem like a rogue before he speaks, but his mannered, baritone voice and regal bearing mark him as a man of distinction. Some say he seems somewhat foppish but never aloof and always genial to all who have not crossed him.

What he will tell you
"Firstly, I was born on the Isle of Dr. Moreau which explains my leonine countenance. As a young child, life was difficult and this is why I was so happy to be rescued by the Lost Boys as a young lad. For many a year, I hunted pirates until I found myself devoid of pixie dust and plunged into the ocean. I washed up on the shore of the Isle of Mann where I met an elderly chap by the name of Merlin who tutored me in the ways of Magick. I felt I had to strike out on my own so I built a raft and from there, washed up on the shores of London. Queen Victoria was in rule at the time and I took up an apartment at 221A Baker Street beneath a meddlesome detective who played violin at all hours of the night. Were I less gracious, I would not have helped him with many of his cases. From there, I bid London adieu and traveled the world with the Circus as a performer. I had many an adventure. I remember one was a dastardly Slavic count who used to bite people, one was an invisible man and finally a morbid yet tragic man sewn from the parts of corpses and brought to life by a mad doctor. I returned to London where I met a chap at a gentleman's club proposing a wager about circling the entire globe in less than 80 days which I thought was not a large issue seeing as I knew a chap with a time machine and well... what year did you say this was again?"
The Real Story
Baron Leo does not yet realize his predicament nor can anyone seem to convince him that the fantastic stories he tells are false-hoods implanted in his mind to keep Fae children entertained. He accepts that he is in modern day St. Louis in a faery court but seems to be in a fair bit of denial concerning his past and seems to have a pocket watch he checks when things seem confusing. For those who look, there is no watch there, but a small painting of a little girl and her mother. He doesn't seem to see it.
Baron is a well-mannered lion man with Victorian ethic and morals. He is definitely out of place in this modern era but fighting bewilderment with a sense of adventure.
Basic Timeline
Baron Leo just arrived in St Louis but he doesn't remember anything about a Hedge, just vivid memories of an obviously fictitious past which he whole-hearytedly believes in, at the moment. People have stated they are not sure whether to feel sorry for him or ask if they can somehow join the delusion.
