Leon Statham (21 August 2017) is a Lucian agent working for the Secret Intelligence Service or more commonly known as the MI6. He is the son of Henry Statham, who is known for his duties during the Imperial Crisis.
Leon, much like his father is a straightforward man. He is trained to be a cold-blooded killer against those who threaten him and anyone he cherishes. He became a notorious target for the Resurrected Seleucid Empire for committing murders within the inner circle of both the military and government. The inability of anyone to stop him gained him the nickname of The Ghost. He was marked for death but Leon would never be taken in nor be killed by anyone.
Early Life
Leon was born in Chelsea, Lucis to Margaret O'Connell. Leon was raised mostly by his mother in his early age due to his father being in service during the Imperial Crisis. He would grow to be interested in his exploits, to the point that he would later realise that he would find his passion towards the same thing that his father had done. Despite his father's protest, he eventually agreed him to enter into the perilous career of being such an intelligence officer and spy.
Career in the MI6
Leon would join the MI6 following his graduation from the University of St. Georgius under law school. He entered the MI6 in 2038 and showed himself to be a promising agent and fighter. Hence, he was deployed in Quenmin to gather intelligence on the Seleucids until the Allies were forced off Asianna. During the Seleucid Invasion of Amerigonna and the ambitious Seleucid Invasion of Zanarkand, Leon's task was to find the plot of a Seleucid missile attack targeting Washington-at-Colombia and Zanarkand City under the codename Operation Coffin, which was the plan to obliterate the Zanarkian and Concordian governments to easily occupy the countries. The missiles would be launched by its command subs.
Wasting no time, Leon, with the help of his father and a few Task Force members, managed to foil the plan. Leon and Tongbang Ji-yong were able to change each sub's target with a minute to spare, resulting in the missiles being redirected to destroy the command subs of both theatres, and sending the Seleucid naval force in disarray.
Leon was in the midst of a near-death experience during an operation to capture Thomas Xavier Whitfield. Leon had been in pursuit of Thomas for many years. After finding his whereabouts in Archadia, Leon, Ji-yong, and a hacker named Matt Farell would give pursuit. When they got to his villa, Leon was mortally shot on the chest by his heart while Matt was forced to do Thomas's bidding. He would repeatedly torment Leon to the point that he would nearly crack into madness. However, Leon resisted and kept his closure. Thomas had wanted to kill Leon with a slow and painful death as he further pierced his heart with his handgun. As Leon continued to plead Thoams to end his life, Ji-yong would shoot the fatal bullet that ended the pursuit to one of the most notorious war criminals of the Deseleni War. Leon would fall into a coma following the incident, rendering him the need to undergo a heart transplant. His eyesight was also damaged, causing him to undergo a corneal transplant. Leon would not wake up from his coma until 4 months later. His hair had also turned into white as a result of his traumas and Whitfield's torture,
Later, Leon would wake up from his coma to find out that his physique had changed overall. His personality still remained but had emotions of revenge and anger. He would recover in time to serve again. Following his coma, he would regain his physique and strength to the point that he would go on a never ending bloodlust as a result of his rage and anger towards Whitfield and his brutal torture. This anger would immediately be cast down on captured Seleucid commanders, politicians, and other Seleucid puppets as Statham would brutally torture them. He would gain the nickname of The Butcher by the Seleucids as a result, which he took as a complement. By this time, Leon was even more ruthless, merciless, and unforgiving than most of his peers.
In 2047, he would be ordered to rescue Reika Houjo, a daughter of Nihhon-koku's prime minister who had been kept in ransom by the pro-Seleucid Quenminese government for an undisclosed amount. Leon would later rescue Reika and safely escort her out of the country and into Rubrum. Despite his changed personality, it would later be revealed that Reika would be one of the only people in Leon's life who can talk his heart to soften. Here, they would later start a close friendship that would blossom into something that Leon would not realise.
Personal Life
Fighting Style
Leon is skilled at the Nihhonese martial art of Aikido and Judo, being taught by his father at an early age.
Like his father, his armament of choice is a Gallian 7.62mm Waltzer PPK, which he often uses in his missions. It often packed the firepower he needed and was easy to conceal. When his mission does not necessitate the use of stealth and concealment, he carries a .45ACP TM1911A1 .45 ACP pistol, which often takes out his opponents with one shot. He is also a resourceful fighter, being able to use anything that he sees.
