.:Physical Appearance:.

Leon stands at around 5'7, and weighs around 230. Most of it is muscle, because Leon is always either working out or training when he's not doing his duties. His hair is a light brown and long and wavy, though his hair is not too long because then he would not be able to see when his fighting. So it’s cut in a manner that’s better for combat, and don't have hair in your face. His eyes are a light brown, and are something to look at, you could even get lost in those eyes, if you looked for to long. His face is simple, he wouldn't find himself handsome, but he most really is. To others he is handsome, but he tells himself his not, for him looks don't matter. His head and his neck fit perfect, so his head's not too big for his neck. He is well built with wide shoulders and a muscular body. Which you can tell just by looking at him, but most of the time he hides it under his cloths, and it's a rare site to see him with out his shirt on. He leg's are plain to, but you can tell that he has an athletic build. He keeps himself very fit, when not busy doing out things, he goes out for hunts and many other activities.

He might out seem very strong just by looking at him, but there's the saying, “Never judge a book by it's cover”. This is the way with Leon. To your eye he seems like a rather plain kind of guy, but on the inside he's this strong warrior ready to come alive and fight, he’s not one to underestimate. He has a light bread on his face and he can be seen with this at all time, never once as he shaved before, but he likes the way it is, and could never seeing himself losing it. Although he would never let it get to some over the top long bread or anything, just a plain light bread. Once and awhile, when he's been so busy that he has forgotten to shove, a small bit hair will grow on his face, though he never let's it get to a full bread.

.:Personality:.

Leon is really a kind and gentle soul. He knows what’s right and what’s wrong. He can plan things out in his mind, and can come up with sometime, if given to him. It was with these skills that he got his job. He understood what needed o be done, and how to make it happen. He is very brave, willing to take anything that comes his way. The loss of his parents turned him into the knight he is now. What most people don't know is that Leon would be willing to jump in front and save many people he cares about. He would be willing to give his life to save the king or the prince. Leon has put his own standing and life in jeopardy for what he believes is right. He can be described as the “rough, tough, save the world' type.

He is very good and hiding his true feelings. Leon is an expert sword fighter as he has demonstrated on many occasions. Leon has remarkable survival skills when fought in a battle and had been wounded, or when all odds were against them and Leon was the only one standing. Many occasions he was the only person to survive.

Sure many girls meet see him as his handsome noble knight, who would woo over any women’s heart. Leon keeps to his work, and this is why he doesn't put himself out there as many people think of him. He could never hurt anyone else there was reason, and even then. Many people take one look at him and think what they think, and he doesn't care.

As a knight of Camelot you live by a code of the knights, always serve and protect your King and your lord. What ever you ask of Sir Leon he will do, even follow you into battle when all hope is lost. He serves the King and the Prince and no one else.

.:Strengths:.

Skilful warrior: Leon is/was Arthur's second in command and one of the many skilled knights in Camelot. He is a highly skilled swordsman surviving many battles where many other knights were slain.

Jousting: Leon was also skilled with a lance and when practicing against Arthur he would have defeated him if not for the fact that he was worried about injuring the prince. However it should be noted that Arthur had the sun in his eyes during the practice session. Though he later defeated him well being 'sir william'

Survival skills: Leon has remarkable survival skills, being able to recover from the wounds inflicted on him by the Great Dragon, and many other times when fought in a battle and had been wounded, or when all odds were against them and Leon was the only one standing. Many occasions he was the only person to survive.

Loyalty: Leon is so loyal to Camelot that he woud do anything to protect the King and his family, that go's for Arthur and Uther's ward as well. Or any royal that is good friends with the king. What ever you ask of Sir Leon he will do, even follow you into battle when all hope is lost. He serves the King and the Prince and no one else. Later when Arthur becames King of Camelot, Leon will be there to serve and protect him just like he did with Uther. Not that he doesn't all ready serve and protect Arthur, they had more of a fellow knight friendship, that Leon has Arthurs back in a fight, or a battle and he can count on Leon to be there, but with Uther it's something different, that his king, the king of the kingdom, the person he must serve with his life, not someone he would be joking around with and so on.


.:Weaknesses:.

Love: This is something not seen by most that know Sir Leon, no he's always working here and there, doing this for Uther, or training with Arthur or any of the younger knights. So this good olf knight has never had much time to catch any ladies eyes, and it's a wonder becuase Leon not that bad looking, and he doesn't know if there's anyone out there for him, he's pretty much been loyal to King ever since he became a knight and then he was loyal to the both of them. But could this loyal knight ever find a good hearted lady. only time will tell.

Seeing people suffer and being hurt: This is a best thing for Leon, he hates to see people in pain or suffering, as he has spoken up many times when the people of Cameot for being affect, although he knows it not his place to say such things, something he can hold back.

He would give his life to protect the King and Prince Arthur: As a knight of Camelot you live by a code of the kinghts, Always serve and protect your King and your lord. And Leon has done just that, he has always tried his best to protect the king at all costs and same with the prince when ever he's around him. He would give his life to make sure they were safe, if it was a choice between him and the king or Arthur he would give his own life to save theres. He had fought along side Arthur for many years and as always been there when ever the king or the prince has needed him.

Seeing either Uther or Arthur upset about something: Though it is not his place to ask when ever something is on the kings or Arthurs mind, being that he is loyal to them and that he had been a friend and fellow knight with Arthur for so long, there are just the few rare times where Leon will being in upon himself to make the prince or King feel better about something, that might not be what a knight is to do, but Leon feels that he must be loyal and serve the king and if him and the prince are not happy about something then actions must be taken.

Jumping in to battle (he will fight to the end if he has too, and he's aways one to join Athur no matter what): Even though when each young man is at the right age to become a knight, and they must follow by a code of honor and to protect there king. Leon always seems to be the one to jump in frist, always willing to fight beside Arthur no matter what dangers there might be. And he wuold gladly give his life to protect the both of them and the people of Camelot. What ever the cost he's willing to pay.

Anything unfair: There have been a few time where Sir Leon as spoke out against sometime he doesn't feel right, and he knows he shouldn't becuase it's doing against his king's or the princes orders, but he fights for he believe's in and if he feels that something is wrong he will voice it, not that it gets him in trouble all the time, becuase he does do what the King asks of him inelse those rare times where he thinks different, but Leon will always stay loyal to Uther and Arthur no matter what.

.:Magic Abilities:. N/A
.:Special Skills:. He is a very good swordsmen (is/was Arthur's second in command) and also a very good jouster, almost beating Arthur once in a training run, but the sun was in Arthur's eyes and Leon never took the shoot, but Arthur later beat him.
.:Accents:. Light and smooth british, it's not very heavy, like you can't understand what he's saying, no it's light one you can hear it when he talks, but it's a smooth accents, with years of good manners and knighthood.

.:History:.

(Since there's little on Leon's history, only what wiki tells you, and it's based on the things that happen in the series, so I made up his history I hope thats ok)

Leon was born to Sarah and Henry Griffiths. Sarah had come from a long line of noble ladies and soon found young Henry, who was a knight in Camelot. He became a well respected noble and a very good knight. They two fell in love and soon Leon came along. Sarah was very lucky to make it through child birth, because so many women dead in child birth and so did there child. Both mother and child were at risk. When Leon was born, he was taken into the care of a carefully chosen nurse, who cared for him till he was around 2. At this point, he had learned to walk and even learning to talk. After this he returned mom were he was cared for by his mother and nurses until he was around 7 years of age.

Henry had wanted his son to become a knight before he was even born. It was normal for boys to become a knight, well those that could make it. In order to be chosen to become a knight, a test had to be conducted on them to decide whether they were suitable for the task or not. In order to be chosen, a kid had to be tall for his age, strong and extremely healthy. Leon was chosen and he became a “Page”. Then he was handed off one Henry’s fellow knight, who he trusted his son with. The knight would frequently trained the young Leon by assigning him diverse tasks in or outside the castle.

In order for Leon to become a Squire at the age of 13 or 14, he had to have shown promise in fighting. Leon stayed with the former knight who had taught him about knighthood since he was a young Page. During this period of time, Leon handled the knight's weapons and was appointed to clean them and help the knight in any way he could. By the time Leon was at the age of 15, he had to start wearing armour to begin getting used to the weight.

When he became at the age of 15 or 16 Leon had become a squire and began training. It was also this time that Henry’s getting older gave up his duties as a knight to live the rest of his and Sarah’s in a nice small country castle just north of Camelot, so they could visit Leon when ever they wonted. Leon learned learn to fight and ride and to read and write. And he learned the code of honour, chivalry. At the age of 18, the noble knight knew Leon was worthy and with the king agreeing his was knighted and received the title “sir” and would now service his king and the kingdom as a young knight.

But this all changed when he got sent of word that his fathers castle was under attack. With permission from the king, Leon sent out to help his father. It took him five days to ride, never stopping to rest and eating barely. As he rode up the stone steps, he saw the black smoke, and the bodies of guards everywhere, women and child lying in the streets of the small town before you came to his father's castle. Leon, pure anger and hate in his heart he raced up to the castle to find his family. But he was too late; his father had been murder and same with his mother. This was something the young man would never forget.

After this all he returned to Camelot to serve the King and become the knight his father would have wanted him to be. Many years went by and Sir Leon proved himself to be a loyal knight and a pretty good one. He did what ever the King might have asked him to do, he watched the princes back when ever they were in battle, and became good friends. He has fought many battle, and come out of most of them un harmed, and he will keep serving the King till his last dieing breath. Now he just lives each day like he would any other day, training with the other knights and Arthur, giving news to Uther, having counsel with him and so on. He take each day like it is, and is ready for anything that comes his way. He will forever be a proud knight of Camelot till the day he dies.
