Leo Shadow is short, wears a green cloak and has some facial hair.
Having attempted to join the thieves guild, but failing so spectacularly that he's now wanted dead by said guild, Leo Shadow turned to work as a sell sword.
Working with Krif, kidnapped and held to ransom Ansley, but much to both of their disappointments never saw a copper of that ransom.
Upon returning to Jarren's Outpost to liberate the city from the Black Hand, Leo joined the Littlelow family and took on a small role in a grift to create Littlelow Premium Olive Oil. It was, however, a mixture of a certain ingredient with the grease created by Leo's spell to make it last, and then put into a bottle and labelled. He worked as a waiter at the Littlelow restaurant by day. In part, Leo joined the Littlelow family due to the respect it garnered, to escape the punishment of his former organisation the Shadow, which wanted him dead.
In Jarren's Outpost Hustle, Leo has two special daggers: Thunder and Venom.
