Since Aiden's cast-iron weights were too light, Albus and Keiran got him a set of lead-core wieghts for him to try instead before proceeding. Acturus, meanwhile, set about answering Aizen's question.

"Balina's the second child of two Mistralan Hunters, a White Lion and White Tiger Faunus. Just weeks before her birth, they were attacked by some guys wearing suicide vests. Her pa died when he set one off in during the fight, and her ten-year-old brother, Leonard, lost his legs. Leo was taken in by the Demeters, an upper class Hunter family. Leo took a new name, passed as human, and became a Hunter. He joined the Demeter family's guild, the Angelwings, as the Grey Griffin. Kieran's partner, Electra, is the youngest of the family, and she's an auntie now that Leo and her older sister married and had kids. Balina and Leo's ma went into hiding after the attack, and died in childbirth. The family friends who protected her gave Balina to Bjorn's parents to raise, and disappeared in Vacuo after informing the Demeters. Bali and Jory became my stepcousins when their pa died and their ma married my uncle Gregory. Reuniting the siblings is part of why Electra came to Beacon.", Arcturus explained.
