During Gideon's evolutionary process, he found himself under the vigilant guard of Leo, along with a select few of the most trusted members of their tribe. At this critical juncture, Leo had assumed the mantle of leadership, fulfilling his role as the second in command. He took on the immense responsibility of overseeing the construction of their primary stronghold and managing the deployment of their personnel.
Whenever anyone inquired about Gideon's whereabouts, Leo's response remained consistent: Gideon had temporarily departed but would return soon. Assumedly, his absence was necessary for the mysterious transformation he was undergoing. Leo's assumption of control over their now considerable army was a seamless transition, made possible by his inherent leadership skills and an aura that discouraged anyone from entertaining thoughts of insubordination.
