Extended Summary

Leonardo "Leo" Salvatore was born on the 7th of August, in the year 1840 in what is now known as Mystic Falls, Virginia. His life along with his brothers, Damon and Stefan, was filled with abuse from their father, and it only got worse when their mother passed away when he was thirteen.

In 1862, Leonardo escaped home and headed south where he ran into a very powerful family known as the Mikaelson's. He quickly befriended Niklaus, Rebekah and Kol and became an honorary Mikaelson and learned of their family origins, then was soon after turned by Niklaus into a vampire at the age of 26. Then changing his surname to Mikaelson.

Leo took to vampirism with suave and grace. Though he fed from humans, he never once killed any innocents, instead choosing to feed from criminals and ridding humanity of rapists and drug Lords.

He stayed with the Mikaelson's for over a century before being separated by their father, Mikael, whom had been hunting them for centuries.

On June 5th, 2018, Leo found himself in Austin, Texas. Over the years, he had taken to saving people, whether as a doctor, paramedic, firefighter or even a police officer at one point. However, he enjoyed being a paramedic and firefighter the most.

Though he had trained for it many times, he trained once again and passed with flying colors. Later, he was hired by the Captain of 126 as a Probationary Firefighter.

For two years, he had made an excellent Probie, and was welcomed as an official Firefighter of the 126. They were his brothers; his family and he couldn't be happier. Except, the universe seemed to want to take that away from him and he lost all his brothers at an explosion at a fertilizer factory. All but one, Judson "Judd" Ryder.

For several weeks, Leo and Judd grieved separately, barely speaking any words to each other, moreso Judd than Leo. Grace, Judd's wife did her best to keep their brotherly bond alive and would either invite Leo over or drag her husband to his house.

More often than not, the two men would trade malicious words and almost got into a fistfight once. Luckily, neither could bring themselves to show such violence in front of Grace.

Then, one night she had sat the two down and had them express their emotions in a calm manner. That night ended in tears and a much needed familial embrace that restored and strengthened their brotherly bond.

Leo and Judd were slowly getting better, but the loss of their brothers weighed heavy on their hearts. It didn't help that the 126 was no longer running and they had been out of work since that fateful night.

That was, until Captain Strand from Manhattan, NY was asked by the Fire Chief of Austin to come to Texas and help rebuild the 126, the Captain having had experience after 9/11.

A new team was created, a new family formed, and the loss of their brothers remained unforgotten.
