Leon Antaros

Leon Antaros is a character in LAST THING STANDING.

Description:
Medium height and with a build that verges on slim, Leon features the dark olive skin, black hair, and reflective gold eyes characteristic of the islands of Exarkhos. He appears exhausted, with sunken eyes and a tendency to go glassy-eyed when not immediately occupied. He typically wears the grey-and-white uniform of the Bureau surmounted by a black coat. Mildly attractive in a Byronic kind of way, Leon gives off the air that he’s here to inconvenience you, personally, and then maybe everyone else around if he feels like it.

Coming from a world where individuals with supernatural powers are considered to be dangerous, unpredictable individuals, Leon deeply distrusts all those displaying ‘unnatural’ skills which, naturally, does not extend to himself. His immunity has made him overconfident, particularly when tracking and apprehending targets. He has a tendency to brag, hiding a deep squeamish streak and a disinclination towards any type of actual violence, a trait that leads him to expect other members of his team to deal with the more physical aspect of apprehending suspects. Outside of combat situations Leon is quite shy- he has a prominent stutter that leads him to mumble and avoid conversation when possible, and is often stricken with headaches and insomnia.

Abilities and Equipment:
As an agent of both the Exarkhan Public Security Department and the Copyright Enforcement Bureau Leon has been trained in both armed and unarmed physical defense as well as surveillance and what the company manual refers to as “coercive interrogation”. He keeps on his person at all times a communicator, an array of AI-enhanced tracking devices, and a stun pistol with settings ranging from “get their attention” to “apologize to their families”. He also carries a multipurpose ID card that functions, variously, as an all-priority access pass, undeniable proof of personage and employment, and a generous credit line to the Bureau’s considerable funds.

Most of interest to the Bureau is Leon’s natural generation of what is known as an Extraordinary Negation Field. Invisible, intangible, and impossible to detect by all known means, the field completely suppresses all powers, abilities, artifacts, and otherwise unusual phenomena demonstrate d by other beings within an approximate 30-foot radius of Leon’s body. The suppression is both instant and temporary and applies not only to said powers but also their effects- a fireball launched from outside the field instantly dissolves upon contact with it, for example. There is no currently known limit to the level of strength subject to the field’s negation, nor to the quantity of targets capable of being affected. The only exception recorded is of other individuals also possessing an ENF, who report no change under its influence.
