Leopold was always ambitious. He always stoves fire excellence in anything he deemed worthwhile. Sometimes this meant top grades in school and sometimes it meant skipping school to practice a sport or some other hobby. When Leopold reached adolescence, he took an interest in piloting. This was to the delight of his father, an officer in the local authorities who had started out as a pilot. However, Leopold decided on a different route. When he was old enough he left his home system and joined a mercenary company. Working as a ground soldier, he eventually amassed enough credits to afford a sidewinder and join the pilot's federation. Once the stars opened up to him, Leopold was unsure of where to go and what to do. He did know one thing for sure, however. He wanted people across the galaxy to know his name.
