This is 9th in a series of posts that will look at histories of recurring (or not) characters in my writing. It takes a look at one of my newest recurring villains, Leland Weathertree.

Leland Weathertree is the main antagonist in the Stopping Leland Campaign. This campaign was originally created in the Neverwinter MMO Foundry in 2013 and was redone in 2023 with Unlimited Adventures, or FRUA, a 30 year-old construction kit released by SSI that has had several hundred modules made for it over the years. The original Foundries were lost in 2019 when Cryptic shut down the Foundries for the Neverwinter and Star Trek MMOs.

Leland himself is the spoiled son of Neverwinter Councilman Angus Weathertree. He is a physically fit, well kept, blond man in his early 20's, but his age has never been explicitly stated. He is heavily based on Dr. Frankenstein and uses his father's corrupt guards to help him commit and hide crimes that range from kidnapping to murder to fuel his strange experiments. Angus successfully protects Leland from the consequences of his crimes until Leland starts to get too bold, bringing more attention his way than can be explained or bribed away.
