King Leon (Tōshō Daimos)

King Leon is a supporting character in Tosho Daimos. He is the father of Richter and Erika. His death triggers the events of the series.
==Biography==
Leon was born into the Baam-seijin Royal Family and married a woman named Roji, with whom he had two children, a son, Richter, and a daughter, Erika. Unfortunately, when Richter and Erika were young, Roji died in a palace fire. Erika would have died too had Richter not rescued her.
Years later, Planet Baam crashed into the nebulae, rendering it inhabitable for the Baam-seijin. Leon ordered for the remaining Baam to be frozen into cryostatis until they could find a new home. Hoping for a planet where the Baam culture could flourish, Leon chose Earth, and travelled from a mighty distance to attend negotiations with the Earthern delegates on the topic of housing two billion Baam-seijin refugees. Though most of the human delegates were shocked at the idea, the head, Dr. Isamu Ryuzaki, stated that he approved of letting in the refugees and said he would pass on Leon's request to the UN. Leon was overjoyed and stated that he knew that as long as everyone chose to come to terms, then everlasting peace was possible.
However, things took a turn when Leon collapsed after drinking poison from his cup. Shocked, Richter dumped the cup into the nearby fishtank, confirming his suspiscions that the drink was laced with poison. Richter was enraged and accused the humans of taking advantage of his father's will for peace and attempted to avenge him by shooting the humans, even though Leon told him not to. Leon's last words were of begging Erika to stop her brother, knowing that peace would never be possible if Richter gave into his anger and killed innocent people. Erika attempted to stop him, but Richter managed to shoot Isamu. Erika spent a long amount of time believing that her and Richter were responsible for killing Isamu, but it turns out this wasn't the case. Later, it would be revealed that Georiya, Olban's right hand man, laced the cup with poison and shot Isamu. While Richter's gun had indeed fired a shot, it missed and didn't kill anyone.
Even though Leon is dead, as a character, his will for peace resonated with a lot of the Baam-seijin and motivates them to rebel against Richter's bloodlust. Many characters often speak of Leon and how he inspired them. Erika, being his daughter, inherited his will for peace and works to implement it with the help of her allies.
