⌠ CODY FERN, 32, MALE, HE/HIM⌡ welcome back to gallagher academy, CECIL LEFEBVRE! originally hailing from BLACKTHORNE, this alum specializes in COVERT OPERATIONS (CP). when i see them walking around in the halls, i usually see a flash of (artistic lighting when the sunrays sneak through the curtains, a forgotten holy rosary at the back of a drawer, waking up to red sirens after a vivid nightmare, a mask seller at the end of a dark alley, ichor instead of tears).  it’s the (scorpio)’s birthday on 10/23/1988, and when they were still in school their most requested dish was GARLIC TROUT from the school’s chefs. hopefully their presence can help ease the minds of gallagher students.

Cecil is the oldest Lefebvre sibling... by far! While Leo and Bellamy are only separated by a year, there’s an eight and nine year gap between him and his baby siblings and far from being distant with each other, Cecil loved his gremlins more than anything else in the world.    But love had no room in the Lefebvre household.

Growing up as the first-born was never an easy task and his parents and grandfather let him know that since he was very young. Trained and educated since he was just a child to become the heir of the family and the next great assassin and spy.

                                             AND HE DID.

The harsh training and strict conditions, modeled him into everything his father and grandfather ever wanted, except for one insignificant detail: his heart. You see, even though he grew up with a gun in his hand, his mother filled him with love. She taught him kindness and games, she was a bright light shining through his father’s shadow and with her everything was peachy, even when Leo was born, but a couple of years afterwards due the command of the father, their woman had to drop most of her affection, because assassins had no use for that.

Still, even with this situation, the mother talked to Cecil and made him promise to never leave his siblings unguarded, which he promised and even against his father’s decisions, Cecil never flaked to put the face in front of the fist for Leo and Bellamy and he would sneak into their rooms to tell them bedtime stories and play games in silence with both. What a joy it was when the man wasn’t home and they could relax for a bit under the shadow of the trees.

Time goes by and while in Blackthorne, Cecil never lost communication with his family, but as soon as he is done, he has little time to spend with them or even write. The job doesn’t allow it. He works for the government and whatever organization needed him so he barely has a chance to be home. Then it happens, he receives a message that changes everything:    HIS MOTHER IS DEAD.

Cecil’s world attempts to crumble down, but while it resists, his psyche crashes down. He doesn’t even have to ask what happened, he doesn’t even wonder how, he just knows. He knows his father and his family orchestrated it. The woman probably tried to leave or some big disagreement was the last straw and they got rid of her.

It is decided, this family and its brutal traditions have to end so he starts planning it out, but the heart he never learned to control betrays him once again and he speaks a little too much to the wrong people and soon enough, another assassin gets to him.    One single shot to the heart.    But never send a regular assassin to kill someone you trained yourself, daddy. Never.

Cecil survives, reacting less than a second ahead, avoiding by millimeters the organ. He takes time to recover, he goes into hiding, taking the identity of a priest in a lost rural town in Romania; he even gets comfortable in that life; people are simple and good and this kind of life is actually rewarding, maybe... maybe he could play along, pretend he is dead and move on with his new life, but then the news ( please, give him a break ). Blackthorne is going broke, might stand another semester.

His mind go back to Leo and Bellamy and no, no more. The Lefebvre tyranny has to end and so, he packs his things and goes back into training. His moral compass is twisted, affected by younger years of brutal training, the death of his mother and solitude. The ptsd of firearms is HIGH, but he has to play pretend, just like he has all his life, because no assassin is useful when he is afraid of guns.

Blackthorne finally goes broke and most of the students are absorbed by Gallagher. That’s it. He’s going. So he applies for Gallagher thinking they might be too stupid to accept a teacher from--- oh, they did. Excellent. So he is in the spy school mostly for his siblings, decided to finish the rest of the Lefebvres and rescue Leo and Bellamy in the process.     No matter the cost.

Personality

Originally of cold and even emotionless mood, Cecil is highly-educated and unnecessarily blunt sometimes. Most likely to have vodka instead of water or coffee in his thermos bottle. Always tired and annoyed. Eyeroll master. If he teases you, he likes you. Think a bit of Aizawa in My Hero Academia if you ever watched it: strict, stern, but secretly would give his life for his students. Not as apathetic, actually will help you with extra sessions if he sees you’re struggling. Weird person, excellent mentor. Super soft for Bellamy and Leo, but not during class. Secretly cries with romance novels and animal videos. Still an assassin, it is in his genes and can get the job done when needed.
