Ari and Leonard are leonin bouncers working for the Cabaretti in New Capenna.

Description[ | ]

Ari and Leonard are two imposing Cabaretti bouncers, both leonin, stationed at a lounge in the Mezzio. Ari is distinguished by his brass-engraved eyeglasses and his readiness to use a magically enhanced violin as a weapon, indicating his vigilance and preparedness to escalate situations. Leonard shares Ari’s stature and intensity but appears more nervous, his fur bristling as he tries to assert authority in the face of Perrie's challenge. Both are deeply aware of the lounge's reputation and are intent on maintaining it, even if it means confronting a feared enforcer like Perrie.[1]

History[ | ]

Ari and Leonard, the bouncers at the lounge, initially confronted Perrie with hostility, suspecting his intentions and fearing for their safety and reputations. Despite their attempts to prevent Perrie from proceeding, they were ultimately overruled by a dapper elf who intervened and ordered them to let Perrie pass. Their attempt to stand up to Perrie failed, as they were forced to back down in the face of the elf’s authority. Irritated and eager for a good fight, Perrie decided to egg the bouncers on, winking at Leonard and saying "Good kitty." This was apparently enough to start a fight, which ended with Ari and Leonard incapacitated on the pavement outside the lounge after Perrie’s decisive response.[1]
