Backstory

Leo MacCullan, Born August 8th 1573, 5th son of Lord Albert "The Lesser", son of Baron Albert "The Great", at Caisteal na Nighinn Ruaidhe ("The Red Keep") on Loch Avich, in the Western Highlands of Scotland. Born the youngest, his duty to his family obligated him to the church to continue in the ancient tradition. Education was granted to him starting at an early age, but as a head strong youngster he was more interested in exploring and playing "rough and tumble" in the wilderness and highlands. He joined the clergy at age 18, and was ordained as a priest on Mid-summers 1599; He then cloistered to Castle Inverness as a soothsayer and healer. This position brought him and his family much contentment, but his adventurous ways never left his heart. After many years of studying the mysteries of the divine, his heart heeded the call of adventure. Leaving in the dead of a summer's night 1513, never to look back upon his monastery, castle or family, he joined in with the local highland (Black) "Watch" regiment. For 4 years he patrolled the highlands for bandits and scouting for invading forces from England after the failing of the "Treaty of Perpetual Peace". This life still was not enough for his adventurous heart. In the autumn of 1616 Leo resigned his commission of the Watch to seek his fortune on his own. While traveling in Edinburgh he met up with a "Free-Company of the Sea" and quickly joined their ranks. This was the life for Leo, sailing and seeking Glory, Honor and Wisdom!

Persona

Leo is a confident and a bit of a stubborn warrior priest. He follows his heart and passions often. Several have commented that he is "a bit cocky". This is not without reason, as an accomplished warrior and priest he has found much success on and off the field of battle. His manner and style of dress is a bit anachronistic, out of "period", as a 17th c. Jacobite Highland Warrior.
