Very little is really known about Leocadia Alvarez. Hailing from the technological powerhouse that is the nation of Sunland, Leocadia and his three siblings were raised by a single mother. She originally came from Stariotica, accounting for the non-native accent that Leo and his three siblings adopted whilst growing up. Their father is even more of a mystery, having consistently disappeared after the conception of every child. Leo's mother refuses to acknowledge him.

By all accounts, Leocadia is an exceptional individual, even amongst his own race. Save for the hair atop his head, he is completely without fur, revealing a rigid blue and white exoskeleton. He is also unusually tall, towering over most other people. Another trait of some remark is Leocadia's apparent high concentration of arcane sensitivity. He is able to channel magic seemingly without effort and in a variety of rare and extraordinary ways. It is not common knowledge however and something that Leo prefers to showcase in private.

Leocadia's budding interest in covering popular music caught the attention of Concord Manzell and Gorvin Cudameine, representatives of the Lepidoris Technologies Corporation, who were on holiday in Sunland. It was here that the two reptilians discovered what they perceived as an abundance of arcane talent within the lepidopteran who had invited the pair back to his apartment for a private meeting. Leocadia was in turn invited to LTC Headquarters at the capital city of Regia to discuss the possibility of providing cabaret at their superior's promotion party, and more importantly, to assist in a very special scientific project.
