Leontios grew up among white stone courtyards and museum shadows in Ephesus, born into a modest but book-rich family of antique dealers. Surrounded by classical statuary and Anatolian mosaics, he developed a profound appreciation for beauty—especially language. His poetic essays won him regional recognition, and he arrived at IEMU carrying more books than clothes. He tends to wander the campus alone, listening to French piano music or reading ancient love poetry under trees. People often mistake his delicate appearance for fragility, but he possesses a deep inner resilience—quiet, burning, and determined to be taken seriously in a world that prizes louder voices. -Keeps a pressed flower between every notebook’s pages -Sleeps with gloves in winter to protect his hands from ink dryness -Writes anonymous love poems in the campus café suggestion box -Always smells faintly of sandalwood -Collects antique pens and refuses to write with ballpoints
