He’s bit of a cynic, but he loves doing his job and is fiercely devoted to it. His position is the result of a compromise between him and his father, General Campbell. From early age, it was imprinted upon Leonard by his father that he too should join the army to serve his country. Leonard didn’t really fancy a carrier of fighting, being much more interested in exploration and in foreign cultures. His father allowed him to study Cultural Anthropology under the condition that Leonard would take the position of liaison officer after completing his study. Not being prepared to face his father and pay for his own education, Leonard accepted.After completing his study, Leonard went through boot camp and was quickly given rank. Since then, he has been away from the country on numerous missions. In most cases, he was responsible for keeping contact with the local populace. He has also had the position of quartermaster on several mission, mostly due to his good relationship with the local populace and authorities, and his knack for getting things arranged. His longest missions have been in the former Yugoslavia and in Afghanistan, during which his knack for languages and expertise in foreign cultures have helped him a lot. After returning early from his latest mission, Leonard came home to see his wife in intimate contact with another man. He had met Jennifer in college, and the two had known they were destined for each other ever since. He was often away on missions, but she also had an active carrier in archeology. They didn’t see each other much, but they did have an understanding, or so Leonard thought... He exploded at seeing her with another and nearly assaulted him. Confused and hurt, he left the house to take some time to think. A few days later, he went back, but found that Jennifer had left. He tried to come in contact with her, but it seemed like she had vanished from the face or the earth, and didn’t want to be found. Leonard wanted to forget her as soon as possible, and concentrated fully on his work. He tried to escape by signing up for even more missions, hoping that the multitude of different cultures would make him forget his home in the U.S., where he once lived with Jennifer. He does't have anything that binds him anymore, and he’s more then happy to leave it all behind, especially if it means going into countries and societies where he hasn't previously been.Leonard was a bit suspicious at the officer who came to see him. Something told him that this wasn’t about an ordinary mission, and these hunches of him were usually correct. He looked at the man, but the blank look on his face didn’t tell Leonard anything. The man simply handed Leonard an envelope.Leonard took it, and noticed the "Eyes only".So this is indeed something out of the ordinary. Interesting... Well, let’s see what they've got planned.Leonard greedily opened the envelope, pulling out the paper inside, along with a plane ticket. At seeing this, he was pretty anxious to read what was in store for him.Hmm, a 'secret' mission, he? Great, not knowing what I’m getting myself into. Well, at least they give me a chance to say no. He made a wry smile at this thought. He already knew he was a sucker and that he’d accept. His superiors should know that too, by now, he thought...So, not much information, but let’s focus on what is in there. It seems like they need me because of my expertise and knowledge. Well, that probably means that we are getting in a sticky situation. Would this be the same that the others were called for? It must be really big then. "...could greatly benefit from someone with your specific expertise", seems like it could be of interest -- China maybe? Ah, who cares. It’s big, it's away from here, and they want me.Leonard looks at the officer across from him, and holds up the still unopened plane ticket. "So, this is a one-way ticket, right?" His voice shows that he didn't really expect an answer, and neither cares particularly for it. He puts the letter back in the envelope, but leaves the plane ticket out. He stands up and hands the envelope to the officer, putting the ticket in his jacket."Yeah, I'm in. I assume we're leaving right now...?"Str 12, Dex 14, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 17.Occupation: Military (class skills: Drive, Survival. feat: Personal Firearms Proficiency) BAB +3; AC 15 (Defense +3); Hit points 29Action Points 19; Reputation +3Saves: Fort +5, Ref +2, Will +4 Feats:Personal Firearms ProficiencySimple Weapons ProficiencyArmor Proficiency (Light)Educated (+2 Kn.
