Arc 1The Violet-Eyed Lannister

Leon grew from a watched child into a royal tax collector while his unusual eyes drew the attention of Tywin, Aerys, and several hostile forces. As he and Tyrion prepared for the Harrenhal tourney, the danger around Leon’s identity and the unstable court continued to grow.

  • Tywin learned Joanna had died giving birth to Tyrion and Leon, rejected both infants as a curse, and separated them, while Leon quietly understood the labels placed on him.
  • Thea protected Leon as he discovered his Eye of Insight, and he and Tyrion formed a bond that endured Tywin’s punishments and their restricted childhood.
  • Leon and Tyrion survived an attack on the covered bridge, after which Tywin intensified their training and sent them toward Highgarden and King’s Landing.
  • At Highgarden, Leon won Olenna and Willas’s support through his political judgment and commercial proposals, while Aerys’s interest in his violet eyes made him a target.
  • Leon uncovered a sunken dragon egg through Putty’s memories, built an intelligence network with Pudding Face, and secured royal authority to reform taxes and develop the Wendwater.
  • Leon’s Wendwater project gained local support, but suspicious ships and the approaching Harrenhal tourney kept the dragon egg and the dangers around him in view.
  • The Kingswood Brotherhood ambushed Leon’s convoy, but the Kingsguard and Jaime helped defeat them, and Arthur identified Simon Toyne as the man who had ordered Leon’s capture.
  • At Harrenhal, Leon told Tywin of his plans, Tyrion exposed wildfire stockpiles and Chelsted’s secret accounts, and Cersei threatened Leon after Robert praised his beauty, and Lyanna watched the Lannister camp.

Arc 2The Founding of Northwatch

Leon helped Robert win the rebellion, rescued Rhaegar’s children, and fulfilled his promise to protect Jon before leaving Westeros to reclaim islands for Jalabhar. He settled on Omboru Island, began building a new home, and met the Mist-Hidden Tribe while Tyrion waited for him at Casterly Rock.

  • Leon captured Simon Toyne with the Kingsguard, then challenged Jaime to question whether he had freely chosen his path.
  • After Rhaegar crowned Lyanna at Harrenhal, Leon investigated his own Valyrian ancestry, found a Dragon Egg, and joined Robert’s rebellion.
  • Leon helped Robert defeat Rhaegar at the Trident, learned where Rhaegar had hidden an egg, and promised to save Rhaenys and Aegon.
  • Leon rescued Rhaenys from King’s Landing, delivered Rhaegar’s final words to Lyanna, and promised to protect her newborn son Jon.
  • Leon escaped the Tower of Joy with Arthur and Oswell, then joined Willas Tyrell and Jalabhar Xho to raise a force and reclaim Jhala Island.
  • Leon’s expedition captured Red Flower Port and reclaimed Jhala, after which he chose to settle Omboru Island and build a city there.
  • Leon established Northwatch Harbor, managed illness and conflict in the camp, and ordered his people to avoid the dangerous Rainwood.
  • Leon found a site for a city at Twin Lion Rock, then met the elder of the Mist-Hidden Tribe while Tyrion awaited his return.
