Lios Von Leonhart

Lios Von Leonhart, Is the father of Seeker and a minor antagonist in Eclipse/Hades. He belongs to the Imperri death cult which worships the death spirit Eldvandice. He plays a major role in Seeker's life as the reason he went down the path of becoming a cursed demigod.

Appearance
Lios is an older man with wrinkly dark skin, silver hair and orange eyes. He has a silver beard and mustache and typically wears a knitted shirt and jeans.

Personality
Lios is a lawful mad character in the sense that he is wholly devoted to one goal and will stop at nothing to succeed. His whole life and every action he has taken has been to further his goal of summoning and pacting with the superior spirit of death. In 2689, the year Eclipse/Hades begins, he has lost the last shred of the person he once was and has wholly devoted to his goal. He has no qualms about sacrificing his own spouce and daughter to complete his objective. And when he finally learns that his son was the one the superior spirit chose he is thrown into a rage resulting in his own death.

Eclipse/Hades
Lios, after what he describes as "Decades of preparation", attempts a ritual to summon the superior spirit Eldvandice. To accomplish this he takes his de-facto Spouce, Olgatha Umbraus and kills her with a ceremonial dagger known as the "Asach Fortta". After the deed is done he finds out that the ritual was unsuccessfull in summoning Eldvandice, which he blames on the lack of suffering. At this moment his son Alvastar also finds out about the ritual and is horrified. In a rage his son attacks Lios forcing him to defend himself with magic, throwing Alvastar out of the manor.

He later attempts the ritual a second time, this time with his daughter Violetta Von Leonhart. This time he makes sure to torture her for a week before killing her. On the day Lios was supposed to finish the second ritual. Alvastar, having heard of Lios's plans, once again bursts in but Lios quickly dispatches him with magic and continues the ritual. He kills Violetta with his dagger but once more is devastated because the ritual failed again. He begins to cry, at which point Alvastar returns a third time and becomes disgusted upon seeing Violetta's corpse. Alvastar almost vomits and places his left hand in front of his mouth which allows Lios to see that Eldvandice's crest has been carved upon it. Enraged that his own son had succeeded in his dream, Lios attacks Alvastar but is stopped by Alvastar's barrier field that he had recieved from the pact with Eldvandice. Lios fights with Alvastar for a short while but is eventually killed by the very same dagger he had taken so many lives in order to summon Eldvandice with.

Eclipse/Divinity
Lios is briefly mentioned by Seeker during his conversation with Adeleine Bulvoc.

Weapons

 * Asach Fortta: A black Ocranium dagger used in rituals. It is branded with a red "Bloodsucker" Jewl which allows it to suck the life force out of anyone that is killed by it. This life force is then turned into mana inside of the jewl and fused into the Ocranium blade, this allows it to be more effective against magical barriers and can even disable a mage's magic circuits. After Lios's death, the dagger is inherited by Seeker and it later becomes a devine relic.
