Son of Gottfried Leclair and Maria E. Maßmann; husband of Elisabeth Fitze and father of Bernhardine Licklär, through whom the bloodline continues into the modern German-speaking generation.
Julius Leclair (1880–1961) carried the family through the upheavals of the early twentieth century — the Wilhelmine Empire, the Great War, the Weimar Republic, the Second World War and the post-war reconstruction of Germany.
Through his marriage to Elisabeth Fitze (1882–1924) the line continues to their daughter Bernhardine Licklär, in whose generation the family surname was registered in its fully Germanised form.

Story Mode
Their chapter in the dynastyJulius Leclair belongs to the Long 19th Century. Born around 1880 in Lorraine, the line continued through their hand. They stand at generation 15 of 19 in the documented bloodline that leads to the present House of Greenland-LeClaire.
The long 19th century shaped every aspect of Julius's world — its laws of inheritance, its wars, its faith and its limits.
Marriage to Elisabeth Fitze bound the line to a wider noble network.
Across the wider world, franco-prussian war was reshaping events.
Through Julius, the House continued — its name, its arms and its memory carried forward to every generation that followed, down to Brandon Noble LeClaire.
