His hair is kept in a relaxed but groomed fashion with lazy stubble on his face. He has a strong jaw line and hazel colored eyes. His skin is covered in tattoos.
After five years in Azkaban, his skin is pale and his eyes are more sunken in from not eating much. He squints a lot from the sunlight because he hasn't seen it in so long.

overall personality:
Travis is a master of manipulation. He will steal anything, from anyone, usually with a charming smile adorning his face. There have been times he's stolen valuables from a 'friend' and pretended to help them find whatever they're looking for, when he knowingly had it in his possession all along. His antagonist personality and sociopathic behavior has come effortless to him, and he is incapable of feeling a shred of remorse for his devious actions. He's more sorry for getting caught than anything. Travis has always suffered from having an addictive personality and has struggled from drug habits his entire teenage and adult life, it was partially what fueled his need for more money. When Travis feels that his plans are going wrong, he becomes the most dangerous. He's unpredictable and will do anything to flee a scene. Anyone in his way is at risk of losing their lives.
Deep down, Travis isn't feeling anything. He has an incredibly hard time expressing true emotions and hates when people try to 'understand' him. He trusts no one because he knows what people are capable of because of the horrible shit that he effortlessly has done. Travis knows that he's a bad guy and he's not trying to change or be good.
For a majority of his life he has had a lone wolf mentality. Upon having Rachel come back into his life, he has found companionship. She is the only person whom he truly trusts in his life because she has proven her undying loyalty to him. If she were in trouble or wronged, he would destroy anyone that got in their way. Their relationship is the closet thing he's felt to love and acceptance his entire life.
After escaping Azkaban, Travis is a bit paranoid of getting caught. His confident demeanor has been replaced with constantly looking over his shoulder and keeping his head down from being noticed. This is the calm before the storm...all he needs is that spark to ignite his crazy again...

history:
Leonardo Flores was born and raised in Salem, Massachusetts. His mother, Sarah Bishop, came from a long line of witches and warlocks in the area. His father, Marlo, was a wealthy Muggle man but he didn't stay around long after getting his mother knocked up. Leo was the results of a fling gone wrong. Sarah never thought she'd be able to have kids due to medical reasons, so the pregnancy was a complete surprise. She never wanted to be a mother, but she did have desire for a chunk of Marlos wealth, so she used him for child support and other means. Marlo wasn't in the picture once he was born. His mother raised him on her own, but she never treated him like a son, he always felt unwanted and like a nuisance to her. Really, she just didn't have any maternal traits, Sarah despised being a mother. Once his much anticipated acceptance letter came from Ilvermorny, he knew that she was relieved that she didn't have to take care of him as much. He usually stayed at the school during holidays, but summer break was always spent stuck with her. When he turned 18, he emancipated himself from her and they never spoke again.
Upon arriving to Ilvermorny, he was sorted into Thunderbird. Leo had no preferences of houses. He barely knew anything about the school but he was glad to be away from his mother. Leo did excellent in school, favoring charms and potions the most. He wasn't a part of the cool crowd, but the cool kids always liked him. Leo socialized only to get peoples trust to get close enough to take things from them. Leo was more focused on learning wandless magic and stealing from the restricted section in the library. He didn't waste time dating in school, but he had his share fair of hook ups, just never any true love connections. Leo honestly doesn't remember the first time he met Savannah, but he does remember thinking she was hot.
Starting at a young age, Leo had sticky fingers. He'd take anything that wasn't rightfully his without thinking twice about it. Sometimes he'd steal things just to get away with it. This got him through school financially without having to ask his useless mother for help... He got the financial support he needed, and much more, by stealing from his classmates and anyone he came in contact with in public. He was the schools resident drug pusher and almost everyone knew it. There were a few close calls from loose lips, but he never got caught. After graduating Ilvermorny, he worked at a small Apothecary in his hometown. He secretly helped run a blackmarket business revolving around dangerous plants and herbs in the backroom for select dark witches and wizards wishing to purchase illegal ingredients. Eventually, the owner got busted, but Leo got away, never speaking of the business to anyone ever again. He swore to secrecy. It was good while it lasted.
Soon after the Apothecary was raided, Leo reconnected with Savannah out of pure luck. She was freshly graduated from Ilvermorny and he still wasn't doing anything meaningful with his life. Stealing from No Maj's was too easy to waste time and get a real job. Things with Leo and Savannah started off slow. They were housemates at Ilvermorny and spent time together at the end of his seventh year, that he dismissed as a drunken fling. He never contacted her after their last connection, so she was a bit salty about the fact upon them first randomly running into each other. Leo was adamant to express that he didn't really care how she felt all along. Always having a way with words. Quickly, they became friends with benefits, which later developed into something much bigger.
Their life of crime had a quick start. Leo easily convinced Savannah to trick people for their own personal gain, teaching her the ropes. With her being such an enchanting young woman, he knew she'd be able to pull some heart strings, turn some heads. She was the perfect distraction. Travis found her valuable because of her good looks and inviting personality, it was almost too easy when they worked as a pair.
It all began with bumping and pick pocketing anything that moved, preferably in the major Muggle cities because it was easy to act fast and go unnoticed. Moving onto robbing well-dressed teenagers and innocent samaritans...to full-on heists. Blood was shed, lives taken. Leo was fearless and reckless, never batting an eye at the destruction they caused, infamous for moving wickedly fast. It was a sick thrill and he knew he wouldn't stop. Not by choice, at least. The lifestyle he wanted to lead could only be supported by doing illegal activities. They got away with touring the United States for 2 years until things started to get too hot, people started to anticipate them coming, and they were starting to kill too many witnesses. Their solution was to illegally change their names and move to Europe. They cooled down temporarily before starting up again.
Robbing Muggles in Europe was even more exhilarating. He'd help old ladies across the street, stealing their wallet and coin purse in the process. Knowingly bump into underage schoolgirls, exchanging a charming smile and apology, as well as fleeting glances - all while taking their entire purse because they were too stupid too notice. No Maj, Pureblood, Muggleborn...there's no discrimination in the hustle. No one is safe. And he'd go through crazy lengths to get his way, get his money. Eventually, after 3 years of heists and robbing people in Europe, they got busted...
The final robbery that they partook in was supposed to be the last heist for a long time since they knew things were getting risky again. They already had their names changed, so they were going to get eloped immediately after their work was done. They had plans of going to the Bahamas, someplace warm... Unfortunately, for the duo, they got caught up. The jewelry shop that they robbed had installed new security technology earlier than week. Law enforcement was there within seconds, Auror's miraculously surrounded them. They couldn't believe it, nor were they going to go down without an epic fight. Three Aurors were killed while trying to pursue them. They caused several explosions and many Muggles had to be obliviated due to the scene they caused that day. They were caught within 13 minutes.
After undergoing a trial, Travis plead guilty on multiple counts of first degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, armed robbery, arson, and use of unforgivable curse(s). Travis was sentenced to life of imprisonment in Azkaban and ordered to be separated from Rachel at all times. They are considered extremely dangerous together.
The night of Azkaban's fall was his second chance. It was his chance to escape and never look back. After a deafeningly loud explosion and walls crumbling around him, he could feel his body 'turning on'. It was as if a switch was flipped. His magic was back almost instantly. This wasn't supposed to happen.... He got his ass out of there without thinking twice. Travis wasn't sure if Rachel escaped, but he knew he couldn't waste any time looking around for her. This was an opportunity he couldn't refuse. He's currently hiding out in an abandoned cottage in France thinking of his next move, waiting for Rachel.
site events reaction:
Travis has been in Azkaban for the past 5 years, so he has no idea what happenings are going on in the world, and he doesn't really care. For now he's going to lay low and scope everything out before striking. He wants to find Rachel. All he knows is he won't go back to Azkaban alive, he would rather die doing something crazy. In search of a Daily Prophet...
