Leered fue parte de la primera generación de “Héroes”, pues fue su generación la que aprendió a mejorar las nuevas habilidades y características que habían llegado a su mundo durante la época conocida como “el nuevo inicio”. Al planeta tierra habían llegado portales y enormes cristales de poder, los cuales emanaba con una fuerza arrolladora cierta energía. Estas “convergencias” afectaron el terreno y a su vez dieron paso al traslado/creación espontánea de diversas criaturas, lugares y habilidades, a las cuales se les dieron explicaciones mágicas. Si bien en un principio este caos dio como resultado un mundo en guerra, poco a poco las habilidades que habían despertado en los humanos, las nuevas razas inteligentes que llegaron al planeta y la constante expansión del terreno gracias a los portales, dieron paso al entendimiento entre las especies. Esto llevó a la formación de la primera generación de Héroes, unidades de élite de cada raza, los cuales estaban entrenados para el combate contra las bestias de la convergencia y, en un principio, la llegada de una época de paz, a esta organización y a sus convocados se les conoció en su momento como héroes. ¿Que diferencia a un compañero de una simple arma?, el poder, cuando te vuelves tan fuerte que aquellos que consideraste hermanos empiezan a verte como una amenaza al punto de llegar a la traición. ¿Qué elegirías si se te da una nueva oportunidad? Leered se enfrenta a esta pregunta, toda una vida dedicada al conflicto y el deber, toda una vida vivida con el fin de volverse más fuerte, cuando se le presenta la oportunidad de seguir y dejar esto atrás, ¿elegirá comenzar de nuevo o buscará respuestas?
