Aspiring Dog Owner
Tragic backstory, check. Perfect hair, always. The bun vivant of Valnain. Don't let the fact that I'm not a master swordsman or savage magician fool you, I'm definitely the protagonist here. So a toast, to my impending good fortune! Your treat of course.
Backstory
Leiro Fortuna was born during the peak of Imperial power in the province of Dalmasca Minor. The oldest of seven in a very poor family, he learned to take care of his siblings from a young age.Through dubious means Leiro earned a scholarship to a prestigious boarding school that catered primarily to the wealthy elite of Dalmasca's occupiers. While he did manage to graduate, he did so at the very bottom of his class.After graduating, he joined the Legion and ultimately became an assistant to a Tribunus of the IVth Legion. From this position, Leiro fed information to the Dalmascan Resistance, until it became known that he was in fact a double-agent who was loyal to the Empire.When his cover was blown, Leiro was shipped to Bozjia, where he was recorded as being KIA.Wait... so who's carrd is this then?

$kills
Je ne sais quoi: The way he leans in just so when he speaks, the subtle ease with which his arm snakes around your shoulders; there's just something about him that distracts from the fact that your wallet is gone and so is all your liquor.Chef: One of Leiro's few admirable qualities is his dilligence and skill in the kitchen. Two-time winner of the Valnain Regional Faire Cooking Competition, he is a genuinely talented chef.Pretty: Some might say that being pretty isn't a skill, but those people don't appreciate the time and expense involved in proper skincare. Leiro goes to great pains (literally) to ensure that his appearance is a finely honed weapon of emotional warfare.

Hooks
Resistance is Futile: Those who betray their own people for coin are lower than a snake's belly. Infamous among Imperial collaborators during their reign was one Leiro Fortuna. His silver tongue talked him into numerous Resistance cells that coincidentally would be raided shortly after his arrival. Word has it that when his cover was finally blown, the Imps shipped him off to Bozjia, where some hero apparently blew his head off. To this day the easiest way to get a free drink in Valnain is to claim to be the one who pulled the trigger. Any Valnain native or Dalmascan Resistance fighter might recognize Leiro's name.Savage Business Are you a magick user with a deficit of scruples? A mysterious noble with more gil than sense? A thrill-seeker who wants table service? If you answered yes to any of these, stop by the Sojourn today.
