Name: Leopold (Leo) Dendri
Race: Human
Age: 32
Height: 5'9”
Weight: 150 lbs

Hair: Short (ear-length), dark brown, parted from the side
Eyes: Hazel
Skin: Tanned gold brown
Build: muscular, but not without some fat around the edges
Clothes: Modern black suit with white shirt and blue tie 
Accessories: An old style male analog watch, so that he does not have to pull out his cell phone during important meetings.

Powers/Skills(If Applicable): He's an excellent tenor and a decent pianist. He also builds and programs robots in his spare time and does other programming projects to make his life easier. He's also an excellent teacher, and when he's on Earth, he volunteers and gives talks at youth groups about the importance of staying in school, discovering your passions, learning math and science, and studying the universe. 

General Personality: Leo is a fairly laid back guy, but he can be a skilled negotiator if he has to be. He's talented, but he does not care for politics, and is not skilled at the “cloak and dagger” method of politics that the Diplomatic Council requires for promotion. That being said, he mostly got into the ambassadorial service to see the world and interact with other species, and he is wholly unconcerned with advancement now that he's at a place where he can travel. Sometimes his friends and family ask him if he minds being a subordinate to someone younger than he is, but the honest answer is that he really doesn't. Erland's position at such a young age is unusual, and Leo's own is only slightly less unusual. He thinks that the Ambassador worked hard to be where he's at, and really has no designs on the job from here on out. He is not quick to anger, and will often try to diffuse a tense situation with a joke, where he can appropriately get away with it.

Background: Leo grew up in a middle class family in a suburban area. His mother was a computer engineer and his father was a programmer. He loved technology and had a talent for it. For many years, he was set on becoming an engineer. But as he grew older, he realized that he wanted to see the universe, to meet people of other races and learn their stories. Humanity is still in a tenuous state with other races, and mostly keeps to itself on it's own terrformed worlds and colonies. He believes in what humans could learn from other races, and decided he would make his goal in life to help their relations. He's gotten as far as he has in the ranks of the Diplomatic Corps despite being one of the few there who did not act “like a politician.” This is because he is consistently honest, mostly hard-working, and owns up to his own mistakes, traits that many found refreshing in the Corps.
