Profile[]
Leon is Maria's brother, Firion's adoptive brother, and Guy's childhood friend. He is left-handed. Though initially he sides with the three previously-mentioned characters, he soon follows a different path than the others. After the Emperor's attack on Fynn, Leon mysteriously disappears. Though Firion, Maria, and Guy wish to search for Leon, they soon begin to focus more on their duties as members of the Wild Rose rebellion. Soon enough, however, Maria recognizes the voice of the Emperor's newly appointed right-hand man, the Dark Knight as that of her brother. After Firion, Maria, Guy, and Ricard kill the Emperor, the Dark Knight reveals himself to be Leon and declares himself the new Emperor of Palamecia. Maria believes Leon is under a spell but the party finds out Leon simply desires power over friendship and confronts them. Unhappy with Leon's self-promotion, the true Emperor returns from Hell to unleash his anger on Leon and destroy the world. Leon then joins the party in hopes of truly ridding the world of the Emperor. After killing the Emperor, Leon tells Firion, Maria, and Guy that he will not return to live together in peace with them after all they've been through.
