Sir Leon's page at the Merlin Wikia
Short list of important facts:
[Personality]
Sir Leon is considered the Ideal Knight for many reasons, his most prominent trait being his unwavering loyalty to Camelot and its ruling family, the Pendragons. He is not afraid to die for Camelot and has willingly gone into battles with staggering odds to defend the kingdom.
He shares Arthur Pendragon's sympathy and sense of duty towards the lower classes, an attitude that tends to be unusual of men in his station. He gets along well with his fellow knights of the round table despite their being common-born, and is friendly with the castle servants. He also tends to follow the rules and norms of social hierarchy but will speak up when he believes an action to be "unfair".
Like Arthur, he struggled with some of the orders he received from Uther Pendragon because they clashed with his personal sense of justice. As in the case when Uther was enchanted by a troll, Leon found himself unable to prevent the King from raising taxes at a time when the citizens couldn't afford to give much to the Crown.
Even if he does not agree with the moral rammifications of a decision, Leon will tend to defer to his superiors. In this way, he is a bit of a slave to the hierarchy of the times.
He is a trusted man within Camelot, not only among his fellow men-at-arms but also to his superiors. He is the guy people turn to when the guy in charge isn't around to give the orders. As Arthur's second-in-command, Leon is often given a lot of responsibility to shoulder, whether it be patrolling the borders or holding off the enemy at the gates.
While he is generally level-headed and courteous to all, his patience does have a breaking point. He will not stand to be taunted by someone who insults him. Like any knight, he takes the concept of honor very seriously and will be just as quick as the next hot-blooded brawler to challenge his provoker to a duel.
[Specialties/Abilities]
[Affection]
Leon can be warm and openly affectionate and is the approachable sort (or tries to be) in a new environment. Socializing isn't a handicap with him as he's had plenty of practice dealing with all sorts of people via his duties as a knight. People whom he considers as friends will have the bulk of his loyalty and trust.
As for romance, he'd prefer to be in an exclusive relationship with a person he really cares about. He doesn't do much flirting (maybe when he's drunk or has established banter with a woman that he considers a good friend) and isn't inclined to being casual or loose with women in general because A) he believes in the code of chivalry, which states that women must be respected at all times and B) he never had the time to indulge in such activities back in Camelot.
[Fighting]
Fighting and injuring is a-okay! Would rather hold off on the Leon-slaying though, unless it's part of an interesting plot.
[Other Permissions]
Telepathy is cool with me but fourth-wall breakage will have to depend on the situation. I'm okay with anyone being any form of intrusive on Leon and he will try his best to be as polite as possible if it discomfits him (which it probably will), but he does have a limit to how much abuse he is willing to take.
[Other Facts]
1. HIS DREAMBERRY... will be his sword. He won't be using the voice/video/text functions for a while because it will take him time to get used to the concept of instant communication. That said, I thought it would make things fun and extra baffling by having the sword turn into its phone-form whenever he receives a direct message or a somarium announcement (if such things exist) or something similar. Just a few thoughts. Subject to change.

[Background]
Short list of important facts:
- has served Camelot the longest from among the knights of the round table (the others being Elyan, Percival, Gwaine and Lancelot)
- is of noble birth, as he was appointed a knight whilst Uther Pendragon was still King (Uther was a traditionalist and believed that only men of noble blood could be knighted)
- Arthur's right-hand man in military matters

[Specialties/Abilities]
- He is an exceptional hand with the sword, and has also shown skill with crossbows and lances (for jousting). Likely has used a spear or a javelin-type weapon as well because knights are trained at hunting.
- Adept at horseback riding. Spends half his time on a horse as it is the main mode of transport in Albion.
immortality...remarkable survival skills. Has survived a dragon, two ambushes that (on both occasions) ended with the slaughter of the rest of his riding party, being caught between an enemy army and a group of undead soldiers, and a direct encounter with Morgana's magic. But seriously, he has really good instincts and can quickly act on them when in a bind.
