The first of the Great Beasts given life by Selyne, Leodysseus the Lion towered above the brave soldiers he led into battle during the First Great War of Mythoss. A shining example of bravery, Leodysseus faced off against the demonic Arethyr, using his massive hammer to defeat the fiery God of War. The Lion's motto to be "the shield that protects the realm, and the sword that strikes those who threaten its peace" would form the core belief of the army that would eventually bear his name. That army would follow the example of unwavering dedication to military strength that Leodysseus showed during the First Great War, and his courage would be revered for all time within the kingdom of Leandorr.
