Leon is arrogant, cocky, and chaotic, and destruction often follows in some form where he treads. The Tower itself represents upheaval and chaos, and with this illustration I aimed to paint Leon not as the victim of the tower, helpless and unstable, but as an agent of the Tower's will: confident, and somewhat sinister. He is presented in a relaxed stance as destruction falls upon the distant background, and he gazes to the viewer proud, or even smug. Though one must know that no one can run from the Tower's destruction forever, not even one who acts as its agent.
