Origin
As a child, Leito’s parents were killed, leaving him an orphan. Deishun, the blacksmith of Cricket’s Glen, took him in as a son and as an apprentice. He also secretly trained him to be a Templar. He often told stories of Templar legend and was good friends with Karic, a young mouse who was also interested in the Templar.
