Leonhardt (レオンハルト), also known as Loewe (レーヴェ) and the Bladelord (
Profile[]
Introduction[]
Enforcer No. II. A young man with sharp, shining ash blonde hair and cool looks. Operating under the false name of "Lieutenant Lorence Belgar", he has stood in the way of Estelle and her companions many times. Due to his overwhelming swordsmanship and fighting prowess, he is known as the "Bladelord". His deep purple eyes, which have an unfathomable radiance, sometimes express strong emotions that scare his opponents away.[2]
Appearance[]
Leonhardt is a tall man with bright silver hair and lavender eyes. He wears a long grey-brown coat with a high collar over a black shirt and grey trousers. He also wears shoes with a red protective covering and a matching red belt around his waist. Around his neck is a red choker from which a medallion hangs. Loewe uses the Divergent Laws sword Kernviter in combat: a gold and bronze coloured blade with an intricate design and unique blade shape.
Personality[]
Leonhardt is a cool yet serious individual who maintains an emotionless mask. In his youth, Leonhardt was a kind individual who maintained a strong belief in justice. He acted like a brother to Joshua and was deeply in love with Karin Astray. However, when the Tragedy of Hamel occurred, Leonhardt became betrayed by his beliefs and the world.
As a result of the corruption and hypocrisies surrounding the event and the turnabout of the Hundred Days War, Leonhardt grew embittered and became angry towards the world and its people, in particular its political and military leaders. Deciding to use this anger against it, he joined Ouroboros.
Despite all that has happened, Leonhardt still cares for Joshua for Karin's sake; even though Joshua knows that Leonhardt could easily kill him, he reasons that he refrains from doing so out of pity. He heavily despises Weissmann for turning Joshua into a weapon, but puts up with him nevertheless. He also respects his teacher, Arianrhod.
He takes pride in his alias, the Bladelord, showcasing his immense skill with a sword. He is still collected enough to concede defeat even if he can still fight, and dislikes dishonorable conduct.
Trivia[]
- Loewe (spelled as Löwe nowadays) means "lion" in German. In the fifth chapter of SC, he remarks that he didn't choose the name for himself, but he accepts it as what he is called.
- Loewe is the only known Enforcer who is deceased. All others are active, on hiatus, or quit.
- In Trails of Cold Steel II, when McBurn first summoned his Divergent Laws weapon, the Angbar, he noted that it was "paired with" Loewe's weapon, the Kernviter, also a weapon forged by the Divergent Laws.
- Leonhardt's corresponding Tarot (II-The High Priestess) not only matches his vision and character arc, but could also be said to represent Karin, the woman he dedicated his life to changing the world for, with almost-fanatical devotion.
