Leto of Augustus starts as a bright lancer in Nero's service, his matchless swordplay a beacon among the Peerless. Drawn close to the family, he fights fluidly until poisoned mid-duel by Karnus, faltering and decapitated in brutal fashion. His death marks a grim loss for House Augustus, the sea-like grace silenced forever.
Description
Leto cuts a striking figure in his early 30s with long braided hair often tumbling over his face during motion. His half-moon grin lights a handsome Gold face, paired with an athletic build from years of lancer training. Fluid sea-like movements define his presence, sword arm wielding a rainbow razor with unmatched skill. Bright-eyed and grinning, he embodies the lancer's poised lethality. Leto is a bright, composed man of approximately thirty, with long hair worn in braids and a memorable half-moon grin. His build and coloring are not specified, so those details should remain open. He carries himself with the fluid poise of a consummate swordsman, combining polished elegance with a controlled, watchful stillness.
