Leon (レオン Reon) is a character in Yggdra Union, Blaze Union, and Yggdra Unison. He is a twenty two-year-old knight with a violent and gruff personality. He is one of Gulcasa's Five Dragon Generals and known for his title as a "Black Knight". Leon presents himself as merciless, bloodthirsty, and sadistic. He appears several times in the early part of the story, and attacks the Royal Army ferociously. Everyone seems to dislike him but his own men, but Roswell in particular hates Leon for betraying him and trying to kill him at Verlaine Hills. His sister Elena, who is six years younger, explains to the Royal Army that he wasn't always so despicable, but that whatever he's been through in the war has turned him into a downright evil man who kills everything in his path and likes to torture civilians. Elena joined the Imperial Army to observe him, and kill him if she had to. He defended Galleon Prison from the Royal Army at the Gate of Atonement in his final moments, leaving Elena to bury her older brother with a heavy heart.
In the side materials, it's revealed that Leon started to lose his mind when Gulcasa's predecessor executed his and Elena's parents on suspicion of treason. Like Gulcasa, he also hates milk. Leon's favorite food is apples. He's voiced by Kaneko Hidehiko in the PSP version.
