Leonard Tyrell is the first son, and second child, of Quentin and Maria Tyrell. His father was renowned through the kingdom for his wealth and arrogance, and while his mother's piety had its influence on her favorite son, it was his father's unshakeable belief in the supremacy of the Reach in general, and House Tyrell in particular, that had its greatest fingerprint on the boy. Naturally left handed, polio ruined Leonard's right arm early in his youth, and whil to some the loss of an arm could prove life altering, to the determined and fiery youth it only provided ever more desire to excel at everything he did. While he has never developed into a master swordsman, hours after hours of patient training yielded its results, and he can hold his own on the dueling ground.
Physical effort beyond combat, or any skill in general however, has always merely been the means to a greater end for 'Lazy Lenny'. His real desire is to force Westeros to acknowledge the supremacy of his homeland, and to this end he has devoted many resources of his nearly infinite pool towards assembling informants in his most persistently dangerous or influential neighbors. His spies are omnipresent in King's Landing and he seeks to expand his presence in his own lands (to ferret out traitors or Dornish sympathizes), and to Dorne, which he distrusts on general principle. He is always seeking friends in high and low places, and for all his arrogance he has no qualms about employing the lowest-born if they have skills he can use to further his own aims. He is friendly on a surface level, but truly close to only his brother in law Rycherd and his siblings, And his old friend Shaun Redwyne, his most trusted man on the sea.
Leonard's father, understanding his son would never be Leo Longthorn or any of the greatest knights of the Reach, instead spent years showing him drills and formations and logistics and the art of moving men. The vast fields of his lands are extremely conducive to providing knights and armor and men of honor, and tapping into the vast manpower and cavalry potential of the lands is the backbone of any lord of the Reach's strategy.
For all his belief in the Reach's superiority, since taking his office in 409 he has proven a faithful and useful retainer to House Targaryen, and while many have fled the new queen's service he sees no reason to disavow the ancient ruling house. Unless they prove unworthy of fealty, of course.
Reputation: Prickly and arrogant, self confident to near delusion, but talented and able. Leonard never forgets a favor or a slight.
Appearance: Leonard is about six feet tall with brown hair and blue eyes. He is fairly athletic, but mostly due to a moderate diet as opposed to any particular inclination to exercise. His right arm is functional but ends at the elbow.
