Background[]
King Leonidas is the lion king of the sentient animal populated Isle of Naboombu, where animals were experimented on by the sorcerer Astoroth. Leonidas had a love for the game of soccer, and kept the magical Star of Astoroth relic. In 1940, the star was sought after by the witch Miss Eglantine Price and con-artist Professor Emelius Browne. They managed to steal it from the lion in a game of soccer, but when they escaped to the human world, the star disappeared.
