Leon Albion

"'Look, I made a promise to your father to never leave you behind, but you need to grow up, learn how to stand up for yourself in order to be a man and a provider. You'll be a grown up soon and I'll not be here permanently to save your irresponsable ass.' Albion to Leon."

Overview
Leon Albion was a young British teenager boy who was the only son of Kenneth Albion, brother of corporate lawyer and protagonist Veronica Albion. Leon appeared quite often as a minor antagonist and rather neutral character between Chapter IV "Apollyion" (1991) to final Chapter X "Neptune" (1995), respectively.

During the Falklands War of 1982, Royal Marine Kenneth Albion from the 3 Commando Brigade and the only brother of Veronica Albion, was killed during the Battle of Goose Green by an Argentine military company. As a result from this tragedy, Leon Albion was left orphan at the age of 7 and was legally secured as a guardian by Kenneth's only sister, Veronica Albion, which promised to raise him and fund his own education.

Leon Albion was quite often portrayed as a problematic and rather troublesome teenager, which was permanently involved in criminal and clandestine irregular activities which led him to be placed in the darkest areas of life and Longinus' suburban underworld, where he resided.

Regardless, Leon's personal relationship with his father's sister and legal guardian, Veronica Albion, proved to be sucessful in order to improve Leon's characther and future personal endeavors, which was continually challenged and stimulated by her mentorship, parenting advice and constant family support.

Personality and traits
Due to the lack of parental control at a very young age and the inability of Veronica Albion, her legal guardian, to control him, Leon Albion resulted to be a problematic and rather troublesome teenager. Regardless of his young age, he acted solely on impulse and erratic behaviour in order to achieve personal goals, including vandalism, racketeering, shoplifting, motor vehicle theft and illegal drug trade. Aggressiveness and lack of self-control were strong personal traits of Leon when he was challenged or oppose, which resulted in reckless and uncontrolled behaviour.

Quite often, Leon Albion was characterized by his Passive-aggressive behavior, which prompted him to usually engage in several clandestine operations on and off while struggling to make ends meet. As Leon Albion grew up and eventually reached the age of majority in Scotland (16 years old), he embarked himself throught the darkest areas of life, which eventually functioned as an escape from responsability and maturity, which was quite often offered by Veronica Albion as a way of growing up and become eventually a full-grown responsable man.

Regardless of Leon's inmaturity and his inability to cope with reality, he excelled in problem-solving and manual skills which prompted him to properly put them intro fructition during schemes and clandestine activities; but quite often, accurately applied during short-lenght manual jobs in local construction, which proved to be a potential resourceful acitivy for a low to middle-income future job position.

Due to his father's military tradition and former national service as a war veteran, Leon Albion considered personal pride a priority, which was permanently prompted to shown and mantain during his personal relationship with friends and family members, without assuming or recognising his own mistakes and permanently evading personal responsability. Nonetheless,Leon was paradoxically recognized by some of his closer ones to have a Heart of Gold, including Veronica Albion herself, mainly due to the ability to listen and to protect those who loved the most, including his inner circle and romantinc interests.

Leon's character development was undefined and rather problematic, nonetheless it had eventually a positive outcome during his personal progression.
