Leo (Red Earth)

==Summary==
Leo is one of the four protagonists of Red Earth and the monarch of the kingdom of Savalia (Greedia in Japan). One day, a tremendous force known as the Empire suddenly appeared and invaded the world, trampling everyone on its path, including Leo and his valiant soldiers, powerless before the mysterious sorcerer army. Leo was driven out of his country and cursed to change into a beast. Only the sacrifice of the three sages of the kingdom salvaged him from complete transmutation, making him into a half-man and half-beast instead. The rage and sorrow for the slaughter of his men pushed Leo to recover his human self and prompted him to depart on a quest to save the world.
Leo saved many innocents, slew terrible monsters and freed land after land from the evil. Leo eventually reached the flying castle of Darminor and confronted Blade, Savalia's former general now corrupted into a servant of the dark. With his dying breath, Blade overcame the curse and revealed that Leo had yet to face the true ruler of the empire: Scion. At last, he succeeds even against the mad wizard and the entity that was possessing him, marking the end of the Empire's tyranny and restoring peace upon the world. Vanquishing this last foe and establishing himself as a true hero was the last thing needed to break the curse. Having returned human once again, Leo reclaims his rightful place as king of Savalia and took an oath to defend peace until the end of times.
He is 218 cm tall, weights 125 kg and his blood type is B.
