Name: Leopold Alvinczi

Nickname: Leo

History: One of the most memorable things Leo's father ever told him, back when he was still a little boy, was that he had been born with the right name, but in the wrong time. A century ago, the Alvinczis' ancestors could proudly boast extensive wealth and vast tracts of land in Central Europe. The family fortunes crumbled, however, following the First World War, and Leo's great-grandparents fled Europe as a result, using everything they had left to travel to America in the hopes of securing their future. It did not go as planned, and the family lived in hardship ever since. And yet, as an avid fan of history, Leo spent his childhood learning everything he could about his noble ancestors, and somewhere along the way made it his goal to free himself from his family's downtrodden life, and achieve everything has ancestors once had. That obsessive pursuit proved a lot less rosy and legal than he might have imagined as a child, as young Leo moved up from petty thefts to high-stakes criminal activity and white-collar fraud, all in a desperate drive for wealth and power. And while he hasn't exactly been unsuccessful, it never feels like he has enough stashed away to retire from the game, always thirsting for just one more haul.
