  1. I'm curious to find out opinions from other Fates' fans regarding Leo and Niles (two of my favorite male characters in the game). They met when Niles' group of thieves broke into Krakenburg to steal and left him behind as a distraction, and Leo spared his life, though the game never indicates just how old either character was, or how long ago it was. Personally, I see Leo between 17 and 19 years old, and Niles to be significantly older, anywhere from 25-27. Seeing as they would have to have met some time ago in order for Leo and Niles to trust each other as much as they do, I put Leo at about 7, Niles at 17, when they met. Leo doesn't seem the type to have had a very innocent, carefree childhood (between his rivalry with Xander, Garon's descent into madness, and Kamui's abduction, plus his own bookish, studious nature), but rather the kind of person who acts far more mature than his age requires (he even scolds Elise for acting like a child when, come on, the kid looks and acts like she's twelve, age censorship be damned). Anyway, I don't think it would be unlikely for Leo, even as young as seven, to confront a would-be thief and willingly spare his life despite his pleas for death. Niles always struck me as older than Leo, and it seems interesting that an adolescent, near-adult male would find himself at the mercy of a child, magical prodigy or not. The ten-year age gap would allow sufficient time for their bond to form (yes I know their supports are rather awkward on Leo's end, but generally speaking they seem quite close) and for them to trust each other as they do. But hey, that's just my theory. Anyway, I'm curious to find out what everyone else thinks. What are your views on Leo and Niles' meeting, if any?
