Family: At least one paragraph.
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.
When Leon revealed that he let Arthur win the jousting tournament. This annoyed the Prince, who later defeated Leon in the tournament masked as "Sir William".
When Arthur sent his men to attack The Great Dragon in his Attack on Camelot, Leon and various other knights were attacked by the Dragon in battle. When the beast unleashed its fiery breath on the group, Leon was injured by the flames but survived.
