'''Leto, The Morning Star''' is a [[Clan Ventrue|Ventrue]] and the former matriarch of [[House Morningstar]]. In 2051, she was added to the Camarilla's Red List after murdering Archon [[Janet Trenton]].

===History===

====Mortal Life====
Very few records exist regarding leto's mortal life. What is currently known is that she was born in Corsica in the late 15th century.

====House Morningstar====
[[House Morningstar]] was officially founded in 1684 in Paris, France by Leto, through an assembly of her childer. Another Ventrue House had recently fallen into disarray and Leto, on assignment from her sire Ebles le Croisé, was tasked with offering them the Ethic of Succor and performing a buyout of the other House’s assets. This was done with great expedience, and soon thereafter the new House Morningstar began to catalogue and sort the assets they had acquired. Among them were several artifacts of great importance, so Leto through an act of Fealty swore to protect them and keep them in the hands of the Ivory Tower.

In 1714, Leto’s childe [[Erasmus Dane]] arrived in the new world, and saw a great opportunity to perform the House’s works on the small island called Caliburn off the coast of Massachusetts. There he built a fortress called The Chateau and, over the centuries, created a power base of Ventrue which was the admiration of the clan. For these works Leto was rewarded, her house being held in high esteem even as a minor house.

====Betrayal and Red List====
In 2048, Leto engaged with the Sabbat and provided them secrets about Caliburn Island in order to create a conflict that led to the release of [[The Unending Storm]]. Following the Abomination's capture, Leto and House Morningstar were investigated by Archon Janet Trenton for potentially abusing her position as [[Warden]]. Leto is believed to have killed and diablerized Archon Trenton. Following this, Leto was blood-hunted by Prince [[Jim McCoy]] and other Princes of New England. These blood hunts were conveyed by [[Notable Characters|Romana Pendragon]] to the Justicar Council, and soon afterward Justicar Ethereal announced Leto's addition to the Red List.

===Clan Ventrue===

Leto was a high-ranking Ventrue, having served as a Lictor as well as, on multiple occasions, acting as a Myrmidon to the Imperator, Karsh. She was very well-regarded in the Clan and had an immense amount of connections in the Camarilla and beyond. She is also known to have associated with Augustus Giovanni, Lucinde the Red Alastor, Hardestadt, and others.
