Clare, however, died in childbirth. Leon didn't have long to grieve for his wife before he discovered that his daughter is a shifter. Suddenly his life became much more real and serious. He did his best to teach her control over her abilities to keep it hidden from the outside world. Before his daughter, Leon had no strong opinion either way about the treatment of shifters -- it simply hadn't been his problem. Now that it was hitting so close to home, he felt much more sympathy for the cause. Discovering the struggle of free shifters, he opened his reasonably spacious home as a shelter for any free shifter who needs a place to stay. Leon suffers from depression (becoming extremely apparent following his wife's death), though he refuses to let it leave the confines of his bedroom. He also feels an acute guilt for his cowardice; he is too afraid to do anything to help shifters besides opening his home, and most of his motivation is selfish (merely because of his daughter does he sympathize with all shifters). Leon does very little to help improve his depression. His shelter is well-known among free shifters, and because of his difficulty saying "no", he'll house as many shifters as he can reason being able to safely home. It makes him extremely paranoid, and he goes to great lengths to make sure his cause isn't obvious. He disguises it as a halfway house/homeless shelter sort of situation. His neighbors tend to think of him as a bit of his recluse because of his resulting behavior toward the outside world. Perhaps because of his undying devotion toward his late wife, Leon tends to gravitate toward males for relationships -- though serious relationships are not common for him to have. For whatever reason, he would hate to admit to his daughter that he could be anything besides heterosexual and true to her mother. Leon believes that it is the little things that make life worth living.
