High Blade Leonidas

Name:
Leonidas

Rank:
High Blade

Region:
Byzantium

Background:
High Blade Leonidas' old name was Leo. He chose Leonidas for patron historic because of the resemblance to his old name and self, and he wanted a small memory of his old life. He was an apprentice under Scythe Einstein for 2 whole years, because apprenticeship lasts two years in Byzantium. He learned the ways of the old guard, and has a very strong hatred towards new order scythes, especially now-a-days. Though he didn't bother to convince or fight the new-order because he knew it was hopeless. After ordained, he began gleaning in various different ways. He felt bad when he enjoyed even the slightest bit, which happened rarely. Once he saw the new order taking over, he had his eyes dead set on becoming High-Blade of Byzantium to restore order and to assert the old guard ways. He had a meeting with High Blade Trajan, his predecessor as High Blade, and learnt the news that Trajan would self glean. Once Trajan self gleaned, the vote was between Leonidas and a MidMerican Scythe. The other scythe wanted laws about handing out immunity to families of the gleaned, and wanted to abolish the gleaning quota, just like Goddard. Leonidas won the vote, and he was very happy that there were more people who supported the old-guard. The only reason he wanted to be a High Blade in Byzantium was because all scythes had twice the time for apprenticeship, and were more supportive towards the old-guard. He had won the vote with over 70%, and with good reason.
