Appearance

Leo is a very tall and somewhat rugged-looking man with shoulder-length, unkempt blond hair, a beard, and blue eyes. The jacket he wears is much more sophisticated than his fellow Kings' outfits as an orange, fur-laced coat bearing several belts and crosses. Each leg of his pants also has a cross to match the jacket. He also wears black fingerless gloves. "Noblesse oblige" and "Ignorance may kill a lion" are written throughout his outfit and weapons.

His Strive design gives him a far more down-to-earth look by changing his color scheme from orange and black to brown. He now wears a simple white open-collared shirt below a black double-breasted waistcoat with rectangular lapels, as well as light-brown flannel trousers. His brown trenchcoat still keeps the light orange fur collar—yet no longer cape-like as before—and fur cuffs.

Personality Leo has a rather boisterous attitude, and is constantly and overwhelmingly intimidating.[5] He can be extremely loud whenever caught off-guard,[1][8] but in reality, he is an exceptionally cautious person[5] who spares no effort when solving problems,[9] and is serious and level-headed whenever a situation demands it.[10][11][12]

At the same time, Leo has far more pride than the average man, and hates losing above all.[5] Leo's pride appears to be a result of his great fighting aptitude, but in his youth it also made him "self-centered" and ready to disregard anybody—which was everyone—he thought was inferior. Meeting Ky humbled Leo, and led him to try and improve himself.[6] While Leo still holds himself in high esteem,[9] and is not shy to praise his own skill when victorious, he is not necessarily arrogant: he is a much harsher critic of himself than he is of anyone else,[4] and if he had to grade himself, he would probably say "C-".[6] In turn, he seems to have developed something of an inferiority complex towards Ky, even if he completely trusts him.[10][13]

Leo is in the process of building his own personal dictionary, a copy of The Royal Illyrian Dictionary, and tends to redefine words as he sees fit,[4] with actual people and events.[9] For example, he has written his sister's name in the section for "devil."[5]

Abilities In terms of combat prowess, Leo has always been proficient in both magic and swordmanship. As a kid and up until he joined the Holy Order, he was "always the best" until he met Ky Kiske; the gap between them made Leo reflect on his skills and incited him to train and work on bettering himself since then.[6] Leo's combat skill and tactical acumen are remarkable, as in one pivotal moment during the Crusades, his unit faced what appeared to be certain death, but Leo's skills allowed them to survive.[4] Regarding magic, Leo isn't particularly versed in the basics of magical theory—at least, in comparison with the likes of Dr. Paradigm, Zappa, Ky and Sol[27]—, but excels in metal shaping spells.[43]

His weapons, twin blades held from the underside, are capable of harnessing powerful energy that can be launched in waves. He is able to shrink them down to a more portable size to be placed on his waist, or they can even take alternate shapes, such as a lion's face in his Windrad des Weltraum technique. His fighting style is unique: He prefers a stance where his back faces the opponent, and holds his twin blades ready to strike at any moment.[4]

Gameplay-wise, Leo is an extremely aggressive rushdown character whose primary goal is to score a knockdown and change into Brynhildr Stance to apply mix ups. He is also slow, fairly large, and has a short jump, as well as step dash instead of the standard run, limiting his movement somewhat. In exchange, he has many pressure options and high damage output, especially on counter hits.

Guilty Gear -Strive- Three weeks later, a time-travelling witch criminal known as I-No invaded the Illyrian Castle prison and taking out Leo's security cameras to avoid Leo and his allies from finding out what she is after, or rather, whom she unseal from Ariels' body. When Daryl takes interest in researching I-No, Leo give his fellow king about her past criminal information.[35]

As I-No is planning something worst soon, at time when G4 occurs in U.S.A. where the Gear Maker, Asuka volunteers as well, and the government wants to invite Sol as a guest knight, Leo becomes worry about the summit's world peace might end up failure, due to I-No is still on the run.[36]

When I-No suddenly turn herself in, after she and her associate, Happy Chaos destroyed the center building of Illyria to unseal Nagoriyuki and force him to work for them, while Chaos and Nagoriyuki escapes, Leo is enlisted by Daryl to work with former assassins Millia Rage (now the new leader of Post-War Administration Bureau) and Zato-ONE (whose Assassin's Guild is now a reformed espionage group), much to Leo's displease, due to their past records. While investigating and tighten the White House's security system before G4 occurs, Leo, Millia, Daryl and Zato discover a mystery "black box" within the building, and Illyria was one of the military industries involved on the building's construction, not even the current president Vernon aware of this.[37] As Daryl and Sol arrive at the White House, U.S.A. and join G4, while Ky and Jack-O are on the way to catch up with them soon, Leo is listening to Zato and Millia's redemption. However they are too late to realize to stop Chaos from hacking the Illyrian's computer network, and the White House is now completely compromise, just as the Illyrian computer immediately shows the hologram of White House. When Chaos immediately activate nuclear missile to destroy across the countries, Leo orders many officers in security room to find a way to prevent, but the world's leaders (including Daryl) who are currently held hostages by Chaos immediately being forced into self-destruct the missiles, while Zato manage to prevent the missile from being destroyed.[38]

When Chaos activated the White House area's true form as an airship called Tir na nOg, preventing Sol and Vernon from escaping, Leo have no choice to immediately calls Goldlewis Dickinson at Pentagon about what Millia and Zato found on the airship White House. Leo's warning from Millia and Zato’s intel about the White House airship being not an aircraft becomes an example of the American Firefly 3 Air Force jet being destroyed by its security weapons. When an airplane TH10-8 just passed by the White House airship, the PWAB co-operate with Zepp to keep an eye on the airship, until a rescue plane arrive. Thanks to Chief of Staff Erica Bartholomew, Leo and his allies can now uncover "black box"'s mystery.[39] While the White House is now above Neo Phoenix, Leo and his allies are relieve that Daryl manage to make amends with Chaos to let him and the world's leaders free and secure to a rescue plane, barring Sol, Vernon and Asuka, including Giovanna. Before Daryl escape with the leaders safely, he manage to implement secret transmission beneath a cup of cold coffee, allowing Leo and his allies to further uncover White House's PEOC. When Chipp arrive at Pentagon, just as the White House went to Old Mexico instead, Leo and his allies learns Chaos' true plan after stealing Asuka's Tome of Origin for I-No. Just as Chipp transmitting communications on each three bases through Anji, who is at a ruin site where Chaos forcefully freed Nagoriyuki, Leo and his allies are shocked to learn that Chaos is in fact the real That Man, the true mastermind behind the ongoing tragic events Justice’s Crusades, with Asuka being used as a scapegoat for the cause, and only Nagoriyuki who knows Chaos' weakness.[40]

When Goldlewis hesitant to sacrifice the White House with missiles, at time after Chaos defeats Asuka from controlling the White House airship, just as Nagoriyuki defeats Giovanna, Leo threaten the secretary not to do so, or Illyria will use their own missiles to counterattack US', in which Goldlewis eventually agrees. When both Asuka, Vernon and Sol manage to get rid of Chaos through trapping him inside PEOC escape pod, instead of escaping from him, Leo and his allies celebrates. Just as Ky and Jack-O arrive at White House, and Asuka revert Sol back to a human known as Frederick Bulsara, Leo informs Ky that the U.S. soldier apprehended Chaos, on behalf of Daryl and Leo's believes on Sol. However, an injured Giovanna happen to talk about not keeping Vernon's cartoony high-ranked badge, making Leo realize something is not right and checking on White House and soldiers' security cameras. Upon re-learning Chaos' shapeshifting and brainwashing abilities, and Giovanna confirms that Chaos stole a jacket of Udos, a new agent, instead of Chief Stryper's, Leo realize that the real Chaos disguising as a brainwashed Udos and still inside the White House, meaning Sol's detransformation back to human is on a bad timing.[41] When Chaos reveals the real Tome had been fusing with Asuka and use its power to fuse himself with I-No into a singular god-like being. Due to I-No's magic affects many bases' war table computers, showing her god-like silhouette form, Leo and many people who sees her in that form are unable to stop their tears from keep dropping out unexpectedly, until Sol destroys I-No, thanks to Vernon, Jack-O, Asuka, Axl Low, Giovanna, Potempkin, Dragon Installed Ky, and a redeemed Nagoriyuki. Sometimes after the incident ends, and G4 becomes success and enacting peaceful era, Leo, Ky, Millia and Zato are discussing about I-No's true desire, and express that present requires past, future, hope and foundation, as well as people's inner-selves like theirs, something which I-No lacked of. After the discussion, Leo is last seen with Dr. Paradigm, with the former is struggling doing paperworks he received from other world's leaders across the country.[42]
