History/personality

In short, Leucis is a con man. He's someone who makes his living off of the gullibility of others. Of course, he'd lie to you and tell you he wasn't all that rich off of this, but that's just another con, honestly.

Leucis' favorite cons involve gambling, but those are pretty old hat, so he tends to just use those to make his general day to day money. Really, he's always looking for the next great con that doesn't involve going straight into being a gangster. Not that he's super far off of all that, in the first place. Not that there's a leaderboard for cons, either. He just likes the idea that someday, long after he's ran off with his riches, somewhere someone would tell his story.

Leucis himself is not a terrible person, at least in his own mind. He tries not to target people who are already down on their luck, unless they prove to be a terrible person themselves. He likes the idea of robbing the rich who don't really have anything better to do with their wealth than waste it on rigged games and gullible situations. Leucis has even been known to sneak money back to those he stole from in the event of finding out that he ruined someone's life. Though sadly, this news doesn't usually travel back to him, as he's there one day and gone the next.

As far as Sword Art Online is concerned, it was simple really. He was told about a video game that was a sort of mirror to real life in a fantasy world. To Leucis, it was a good way to pass time when he wasn't working on his latest con. Video games were good for that. But these types of social online games were also a hotbed for him to test new con ideas without the threat of losing his own money or worse, his life. So, as expected, he conned a person out of their copy of the beta, and on the full release, booted up the game.

Turns out, the one that had been conned was him.

Virtues:

Street Smart - Leucis is pretty much consistently on the move, and spends much of his time dealing with people of all walks of life. He knows how to find a cheap hotel to stay in, all the best places to eat, and whose palms to grease to find his way into all the places he needs to be to pull off his cons. It also allows for a man like him to disappear at a moment's notice, when needed. Which, it usually is, as soon as his victims catch on.

Logical - In order to pull off cons, you have to have a good amount of logic forward thinking. That isn't the same as being book smart. Admittedly, Leucis isn't necessarily top of his class. But he knows how to move the chess pieces in order to get what he wants, and that's where it counts. This logic means that he knows how to pull off plenty of effective cons that actually make him the money he needs for his on the go lifestyle.

Charismatic - Coming with street smarts, is a natural charisma. Leucis can fit into pretty much any social situation, simply because that's the best way to con people. When he talks, people listen, and when he spins a story, people believe him. It doesn't get much simpler than that, really. Though, not to be confused with being the life of the party, as Leucis does all he can to draw too much attention to himself. It's always a case of getting in, getting the con done, and getting out.

Flaws:

Drifter - Leucis simply doesn't stay in one place. So long as he's got a bed to sleep in, places to set up his cons, and access to his bank account, then he's set. Unfortunately, this means his social contacts are pretty limited, and his love life even more limited, but in the grand scheme of things he has never really been too worried about that. He's got a couple of friends he keeps in touch with long distance, and enough money to throw around and good enough looks that he can pick up a date at a moment's notice if he so feels like it.

Thief - It doesn't really matter how he tries to spin it, Leucis is a thief. Sure, he's not going to go ripping away purses in alleyways, but that doesn't make what he does any less criminal in most cases. He takes advantage of people, whether that be gullibility or stupidity, people willingly give him their money or goods in exchange for plenty of lies or a rigged game. And to be completely honest, in most cases, Leucis never feels bad about this.

Ambitious - Leucis' major goal in life is to find the next big con. The one that defines his life in the history of famous con men. The one that is talked about long after the man has disappeared into the shadows. However, this pursuit can get him in trouble. He has gotten himself into more than one con that has ended up losing him money due to the con going completely off the rails since he couldn't just stick to the simple rules of how to con someone for his "next big con". It's hard lessons learned, but it hasn't deterred his ambition any.
