Quote:"I think the very worst part is - This prophet, this Leon - He thinks he's saving life. Thats why he does these things, because he thinks it's what is right. The slaughter, the abominations, the deaths - they're all just sacrifices to the great cause for him. Hardly anyone who is truly dangerous thinks of themselves as a villian." - Kiala Jaricha, The Death of Harvest

Leon is a relatively tall example of an oomn, who covers his face with a computer-screen mask. This mask, made of rusted and dirt-covered metal, has two eye-holes joined by a horizontal slash, and a jagged mouth cut out and painted. Leon's skin tone is a dark slate grey, and his hair is even darker. He is identifiable to those that know him even without the very unique mask due to always wearing red and cream floor-length robes, and a dark green-grey scarf around the neck. Metal objects in the vicinity of him have been observed to rapidly tarnish, leading to his nickame. More recently, Leon has been spotted having difficulty with complex movements, leading some to speculate that he is suffering from some kind of degenerating condition.
Personality/traits:
Leon is a being driven by what he sees as a vital, pressing cause. He is forever haunted by whispers and flashes of a great horror in the future, and believes that there is a coming cataclysm of terrible magnitude. The only way for life to suvive this coming is through the ultimate unity - conversion or amalgamation into the form of clockworks.
In person, he can be irritable or even agressive to those uninterested in joining his flock, as he simply doesnt understand how people can't see the i Leon is not given to personal sacrifices or trials - he'll abandon his designs, his cultists, and plans if necessary to avoid the risk of no longer being able to carry on his works. However, in the actuality of disaster or death, he expresses no fear or hesitation.
He is given to speechcraft, the art of persuading the other, working the crowds, and playing off people's emotions and frustration. When he arrives at a likely location, he will befriend and convince people of his cause, founding a cult. This cult will recruit and grow until either its true nature is discovered by authorities and it is shut down, or it is widespread enough that a clockwork infestation is started and rapidly grows through the members, willing or duped.
History:
Leon's identity has been traced back to what are believed to be his origins as a local politician on Callidcaeb, Leonid Horolo. Horolo went missing over 20 years before the first recorded appearance of the known Leon, a casualty in the catastrophic destruction of the ISV Colossus , a famous tragedy in which almost all of the passengers aboard the stricken vessel were killed by a freak asteroid collision.
Two decades later, the first confirmed sighting of Leon was made, as he formed a cult around his preachings of a "New Coming" on the world of Harvest. Precise records of the events following are scattered due to damage to the planetary communication network, but a major outbreak of clockwork infestations is known to have resulted in planet-wide riots, ultimately resulting in a near-complete purge of the doomed planet.
While the current whereabouts of Leon are unknown, in the time since he has been responsible for several less-successful outbreaks of clockworks, though still each causing horrifying mayhem and mass destruction. These incidents seem to be getting more and more frequent, and the rise in outbreaks attributed to the so-called prophet has not escaped notice. While the notails have so far largely managed to contain and eliminate the outbreaks so far, the severity of these incidents has been growing larger and larger. Certain individuals amongst the notails have been taking note of the steady increase in reported sightings, and are known to be hunting down Leon and his cult, in an attempt to neutralise the threat he poses before it can continue to escalate and metamorphose into a far more catastrophic and wide-reaching form.
If you spot this man, call relevant authorities immediately.
Special:
Speaker to the many: Leon's oratory skills are almost supernatural, and he is easily able to convince large numbers of the downtrodden or hard-done-by of his goals wherever he goes.
