He is the twin brother of [[Lea Vel'heim]]. Lionel was born in [[_GM_1. World Almanac/World/Tovangar/Tova/Tova]] alongside his twin sister. At the time, the Vel'heim name carried good renown within the city. When Lionel was five years old, his father was dismissed from a government position on suspicion of treason. The family manor was ransacked, and the Vel'heims were expelled. Lea took her brother by the hand and fled to escape the shame. On the outskirts of the city, the siblings were taken in by [[Brother Toro]], a monk who escorted pilgrims from Tova to [[The College of Silvermoon]]. Lionel became fascinated by the magic Brother Toro demonstrated. He and his sister began studying as monks, intending to eventually become wizards at the college. Lionel is strong, intelligent, and athletic. However, he lacks social awareness. Having dedicated his life to martial arts and magic—disciplines that do not come naturally to him—he never learned conventional interpersonal skills. As a result, many of his interactions are perceived as rude or off-putting. Lionel first came into contact with [[_GM_1. Player Characters/Group 19/Group 19]] during the [[Satellite Mission - Escort in Lurkwood]], where he was assigned to protect [[Clay Ashwood]] alongside his sister.
