Leon is the heir of the Rosenthal noble family and a much esteemed pillar of the community. He is married to Catrina and they have two sons, Marius and Remus. Coming from a long line of military figures, Leon himself is a decorated war hero, having fought during the Independence War, along with his brother and father - a general in the Romanian Army. When asked, though, his views on war are not what you'd expect - he abhors the notion completely and has raised his two sons as pacifists, breaking the tradition of his lineage.
Leon was the sole inheritor of the family fortunes, as his brother was disowned after he allegedly committed war crimes during the Independence War. Yet, long before receiving his inheritance, Leon had started a family business with his wife, Catrina - a small stained glass workshop that he grew into a large factory of renowned craftsmanship. After his father's passing and against his will, he split the inheritance with his renegade brother and invested a large part of his half in social projects, such as an orphanage, a school for young girls and a canteen for the poor. He became famous not only for his craft, but also for his generosity and his dedication to the wellbeing of his community.
When Leon retired, his decision was decried by all of his clients and associates. Rumours are that it was not simply age that led to his retirement, but rather a strange illness that overtook his mind. While sympathetic to his condition, it was the general consensus that his successor, his son Remus, couldn't possibly live up to Leon's reputation, both as an artisan and as a fair and skilled businessman. Nor did Remus seem interested in continuing his father's charitable work.
