Leto Kontoli
Colonel Leto Kontoli
Leto Kontoli is one of the rising stars of the Alsonan Royal Army, currently stationed at Zachari Crossing as its commanding colonel. During her youth, she was born in the city of Pegrama, to a family of well to do masons. They had been well known for their skills with marble working and crafting, and it was long assumed that Leto would join in the business as she grew older, and received education to that end. Ultimately, however, she fell in with a disreputable crowd, and for a time was more interested in partying than in continuing her lessons or assuming any sort of responsibility. Unfortunately, she was taken advantage of by her new friends.
Her erstwhile friend and lover seduced her and was able to steal the key to the family's treasury. As she was drunk upon wines and liquors, they robbed her family's vault and escaped into the night, threatening to leave them destitute. Leto awoke the next morning in chains, as she was accused of the crime by her own family and turned over to the guards. Although she was exonerated of the crime, her mother never forgave her and exiled Leto from the family, and she was soon forced to leave the city in dishonor. It seemed likely that she was destined for a harsh life.
The outbreak of the Wingo War gave Leto the opportunity she had been looking for, and as the lord's levies were destroyed by the superior dwarf and elf armies, she choose to enlist in the newly formed Royal Army. The army was in its nascent stages, and as one of the few recruits who had actually received a formal education of sorts, Leto was elevated to the position of lieutenant in one of the new regiments. Although she had not seen any true combat before the war, she was quickly educated in the means of fighting in the battles against the raiders. After witnessing many die in the fighting that the war entailed, something awoke within her that had laid dormant. Rallying her regiment in one of the first victorious battles against elf raiders, she gained acclaim and battlefield promotion.
During the war itself, Leto only rose to the rank of Captain, but after the war, as regiments were demobilized and people left the service, she determined to stay in her new home. She gained several further promotions, recognized for her achievements during the war, and proved an effective organizer for the regiments that remained. Ultimately her efforts were rewarded with a promotion to Colonel, and she settled down in Zachari Crossing, as the leader of any defense against a renewed invasion. There have even been talks of starting a military family dynasty of her own, as she has recently been courting a merchant worker from nearby Etheridge.
