Leon originated as {{ff|Squall Leonhart}}, the main protagonist in ''Final Fantasy VIII''. He is studying to become a full-fledged member of the mercenary force known as {{ff|SeeD}}, and specializes in the Gunblade, one of only two current cadets to do so. Ordinarily introverted to the point of seeming rude to others, he is forced to take a role of leadership as the world moves toward conflict, similar to his taking on leadership of the ''Final Fantasy'' characters in ''Kingdom Hearts'' after the fall of Radiant Garden. His scar still remains slashed across his face just as it did in ''Final Fantasy VIII'', but he is unaware of [[Seifer]] in [[Twilight Town]]. | Leon originated as {{ff|Squall Leonhart}}, the main protagonist in ''Final Fantasy VIII''.
