Leonardo Lionheart/History

Background
Lionheart is one of Ozpin's associates, but for an unknown amount of time, he has been in contact with Salem's associates, leaving his allegiances in question up to his debut in RWBY.

Working for Salem and Watts
Several months after the fall of Beacon Academy, he is visited by Dr. Arthur Watts, who came to Mistral on behalf of Salem. On a later day, Lionheart receives word from Qrow Branwen that he will be coming to Haven with a few students from Beacon. When he meets them, he is shocked to hear that Team RNJR has already learned about the Maidens and Relics from Qrow. Inside his office, Lionheart explains what has happened to Haven. According to him, shortly after the fall of Beacon, the Grimm attacked the city of Mistral, prompting the teachers of Haven to fight off the monsters. Lionheart gives them all a leave, causing a complete desertion of the school. When Qrow reveals that the Spring Maiden is with his sister Raven, Lionheart copies the coordinates of the location of the bandit tribe from Qrow's Scroll and insist to him that he needs time to convince the city council that he needs Huntsmen for the search. After Qrow and Team RNJR leave, he is contacted by Watts, who tells him that he needs to work on his improvisations.

Watts then appears and takes Lionheart to a Seer, which establishes connection between them and Salem. Lionheart then gives his report about the location of the Spring Maiden and implores her to hurry because he is at odds with Qrow. But he is suddenly choked by the Seer, and Salem warns him not to overstep his boundaries before she has the Grimm let him go.
