Well, after a very enjoyable long run he is finally dead. The idea for Leopold was essentially to play a classic Arthurian style knight within the bounds of EFU.
He came from Damara where he served as a minor knight with a small estate on which he lived with his wife and daughter, the last male in a long line of knights, his arrival on the Ziggurat was one of despair. Having lost everything, and being forced to abandon his duty he took faith in a quest he believed granted by Siamorphe herself. To find the Crown of the Divine Right and restore a King of noble birth to the Isles.
I achieved a lot with him, from becoming a watcher, to becoming a knight and striking back at the undead and even finding the crown! (Sort of). Finally though, the man who was meant to be an infallible bastion of good had to give up his humanity for another. I unfortunately lack the screenshots of his abberant transformation and his end, but it can pretty much be summed up by his last words "It's better to die a good man, than live as a monster".
My favourite character on EFU thus far, I can only say thanks to all you guys who helped make his story as awesome and fun as it was. I can't even begin to list all the names involved, it would take all day, but you know who you are. Now, without further ado, the screenshots! (In no particular order).

:( :( :( NOOOOOOOO!
Your inventory is so disorganized. >.>
We had a few neat interactions, but Leopold and Caerseil never really hit it off. I wish I could do more than say that I wish I could have been around Leopold more, but alas, I cannot. Great PC.
"Here lies Leopold Handelsson.
He died doing the right thing".
A very impressive and stellar example of a Knight.

Very solid character. Hats off my friend.
Damn your timezone preventing me from saving or killing you myself :mad:
Great character, looking forward to the next.
Well done.
Rest in peace, Leopold. In spite of their clashes, Kara admired and respected him. Learning that he had become an aberration all but broke her heart.
A masterwork, this time, and one to be long remembered.
~tOH.
I hope i'm the one that convinced you to off yourself :D I mean that in the most loving possible way.
Played with him only once or twice, but it involved a big confrontation with his rival, the Heavily Withered Man and a small army of undead.
Really great PC and, IMO, an example for all would-be heroes.
Leopold was simply amazing. Utterly spectacular. You did a fantastic job with him.
Classic hero.
I always admire the players who manage to make their PCs a true part of the setting. It's particularly poignant to see two such characters, Rastin and Leopold, in one of the screenshots. Kudos!
Aw man, Leopold was a Knight from Damara?! He and Kaina would have had a lot in common. I wish I had gotten more of a chance to interact with him. Sadly, I only occasionally saw in around Mistlocke. He seemed like a spectacular character, however! Sad to see him go.
Wish I had gotten to spend more time with him on Marcail. Time Zones suck.
He was a fantastic character. Looking forward to your next.
Excellent concept and play.
Nicely done.
Cool concept, well played.
Preposterously well-played.
Well done sir, he effected a deal of my characters each in his own little way.
Epic. Wish I had more interactions with him judging by the screenshots :D
So many PCs I've been missing out on!
Thanks for being involved with Elendaerion's quest upon the Shrouded Isles, Leopold's sponsorship of him as he sought to learn of the Wyrm Watchers will be remembered and he will certainly receive a dedication, when I get around to compiling the chapters.
Certainly enjoyed the interactions, and was glad to have the details of the fugue conversation followed up by our final meeting - it will have a lasting affect on the magus.
Nice one purple face.
Forum update for Casterr. Also, Leopold rocked. Gotta say that twice.
An honorable knight, right to the very end.
A great character and presence in the Watchers. Much kudos!
True words only. Good job player.
Very dissappointed Dagul and Leopold did not get to discuss the "helm" - a story left untold I fear. Stubborn knights. Regardless a solid character.
Amazing PC, had good fun running around with him!
