Leon

Leon is young in form yet his height seems to vary due to his power of Vicissitude being used to make himself appear to be older at times or around the age he should have been. Leon was born June 2nd 1925. Not much is known of his mortal life other than he had lost both his parents at a young age or had been abandoned. When he was fourteen years old and living through thievery and the occasional kindness of others he attempted to rob an older man in a long red coat. The man was amused more than anything and since he was new to this area, he took the boy in as an apprentice and runner. He would have him deliver letters and items to allies of him and eventually would make him his ghoul. Using this time to teach the boy what he will need to learn to master the Koldunic arts far more easily when eventually sired. Leon spends years learning from this man and helping keep the Theater they were staying at for a cover running smoothly. Leon helped with cleaning, passing out flyers, and other little chores inbetween his lessons. Corneliu using this as a chance to do the sire duty correctly... teach them before they become immortal, and while they are young enough to learn. The boy would be given time to age once he was ready and the dangers had passed.
Leon one night after delivering a package saw another form in the darkness. A form with two glowing orange eyes. The figure in the dark was dressed up in a puffy collar like a circus performer and introduced himself as an old friend of his master. Leon of course told his sire of the strange man when he returned from his errands. A few nights later many of the other ghouls for the theater did not return. When the pair went to look for them they found the remains of the ghouls torn to ribbons. Corneliu decided that night, That the night after Leon's Birthday, June 3rd 1942 he would sire the boy. For his own protection. . .so that he would not be just killed like the other ghouls.
Leon continued to learn under his sire during a calm before being sent on another errand one night. The rain was heavy... An umbrella opened in the darkness and moved over him. His eyes moved to see who would offer this kindness on a rainy night... only to see the same figure in the puffy collar from before. He introduced himself properly as his brother and stated he worked in the circus that is currently in town. Leon knew he was supposed to avoid this man, the man with the gold eyes and locket who could take any form. Yet here he was, and they were brothers.
He would spend time visiting the figure and talking, learning more about their clan that the old man had not shared. Until one night he was shown what the power his clan's birthright could do. Leon was in awe. It was amazing. You could be anyone, anything. He could be taller, he could change his hair. There was so much he could do now. Possibilities were nearly endless. He begged his brother to teach him to use this power, hoping to impress the old man with how powerful he would become. Little did he know this was playing right into Fiend's plan.
The whispers did not start at first. Leon could use the power with seemingly no drawbacks. He tried to hide it and the lessons for the first few weeks. Before he eventually showed his sire. Proud of what he could do. Corneliu however was not impressed. He was mortified. His perfect childe? The one he taught while still human, was now corrupted as the last one. He knew there is no cure and was now faced with the horror that he doomed someone this young to that fate. To seeing and hearing those things. In siring him, he made way for this to happen.
So his sire did the only thing he could do, and rendered his childe unconscious. Using his blade to run through him to inflict enough damage to render him torpid, not to wake again for quite some time. 2018. Leon awakens in a locked room laying on a mattress. The door is large and steel. The outside of the room is papered over, hiding it from sight. Leon hears a voice and knocks at the door until he gets the attention of another in the house. A young girl named Ophelia. He asks her what her favorite color is. The girl could not decide, "Blue! No purple!" Leon made both his eyes those colors in the room. Over time, others came to the door and spoke with him. But he was still trapped, blood being placed in the room curiously when he was in rest. During this time Leon's name had faded from him. Being referred to only as "Puppet".
2019. Puppet manages to escape the room and Fiend's haven. Puppet then finds a place and begins to build his lair. He used his small form and feigned innocence to fool humans easily into following him. Usually by saying he was lost or his family drove off the road and needs help. Preying on the good people of the city resulted in his lair growing strong. Which drew the attention of a Gangrel named Luke who was the best friend of his "brother" by sire.
Luke had dealt with this young vampire killing humans to build his lair and attempting to infect others through trickery. Eventually enough was enough and with the combined efforts of five members of the local Sabbat he was staked and captured. Not being released from paralysis until after a Salubri tore him from his Path and put the fragment of Kupala within him into dormancy. He was eventually returned to Fiend's haven. . .where a familiar form was waiting for him. His original Sire. Corneliu's first act was to erase his memories of all of this. All of the nightmare while he was corrupted. Much to his dismay, Leon still remained broken. Through all the attempts by his former sire to teach his childe empathy it yielded no results. 
Eventually Luke made the sire an offer. Placing his Childe with someone else who could take him and finally give him the guidance he needs to have a chance in the world. This new Teacher was Wolfgang, a therapist who is and always has been rather secretive. Leon did not trust or like the man at first. Feeling like he had been absolutely given up on and cast away as a failure, but eventually he would let his walls down enough to begin forming a healthy friendship at first and then began to see Wolfgang like a father. The father he never had before. With holes in his memory, and only fragments of his time with his former sire he began to attach fully, getting over his lack of empathy.
2021, Eventually as the beckoning began to creep in, he and Wolfgang moved somewhere that it was far more hushed. Not having to fight it as much and being able to focus far more. Leon began his new life in Charm City, with his teacher. Due to the warnings from His former sire, and his newer one he limits his use of Vicissitude. Mostly only utilizing it on himself to make his form look older or taller. Despite his frequent threats to stab or murder others, he remains eager to help his Father figure even going as far as to help save the world at every turn. Ensuring to quip and complain about the stupidity of others. Even if he secretly likes them deep down.
