Creative origins
Leomund was the player character of Len Lakofka, who has stated vehemently that his character was never a member of the Circle of Eight. Instead, in the Oerth Journal #10, he suggested that the Circle member was an impostor whose true name was "Guy Gas."
The class levels, birth date, and alignment attributed to him above come from Lakofka's Oerth Journal article, and can't be considered "official."
