I'm glad you're OK, Corrin. You must have the devil's own luck!
— Leo

Leo (Japanese: レオン, Leon) is a character in Fire Emblem Fates. He is a younger prince of Nohr and the son of Garon. He is one of Corrin's adoptive siblings. He is very intelligent and does not like making mistakes. He favors using magic over fighting with a sword. Like all other Nohrian and Hoshidian royalty, he possesses the power of Dragon Vein, being able to alter the terrain around oneself.

Fire Emblem Fates

Role

Leo is Corrin's younger adoptive brother. After a sparring match between Corrin and Xander, he accompanies Corrin to the capital of Nohr. There, Corrin is ordered to execute several helpless Hoshidan prisoners, including Rinkah and Kaze. When Corrin refuses to do so, Leo pretends to execute them so Xander can sneak them out. During the Hoshidan attack at the expedition to the Bottomless Canyon, Leo and the other siblings rescue Corrin from Hoshidan reinforcements.

Birthright

If Corrin sides with Hoshido, Leo feels angry and betrayed. When Corrin's party is tricked and attacked by the Nohrian dark mage Zola, Leo arrives at the end of the battle intending to execute Zola for his dishonesty and cowardice. Corrin convinces him to spare Zola, but Leo ignores this and denounces Corrin as a traitor. He next encounters them in Cheve, where Corrin is attempting to convince Camilla that Garon must be stopped. Leo interrupts them, again denounces them, and flees with Camilla, preventing them from convincing Camilla to join them.

Later, he ambushes the group in the Woods of the Forlorn and attempts to convince himself that Corrin that he always hated him and the other Nohrian siblings. He also expresses jealously towards Xander and Camilla's favoritism, but he is unable steel his resolve for his battle against Corrin and is defeated. Corrin refuses to kill him, and Azura gives Leo a mysterious crystal. Leo provides Corrin's the group with a warp book that can transport them to and from Notre Sagesse so they can meet the Rainbow Sage and receive his power. Leo leaves to examine Azura's crystal, which shows him Garon's true form. Realizing Corrin is correct, he appears one final time to execute Iago and to give Corrin his blessing. Leo does not join Corrin's forces, finding himself unable to raise his tome against his father.

After the war and the death of Xander, Camilla abdicates the throne, and Leo becomes the next king of Nohr.

If Corrin sides with Nohr, Leo helps fight the Hoshidans. When Garon sends them to suppress the Ice Tribe rebellion, Leo goes behind Garon's back and sends his retainers Odin and Niles to aid Corrin.

Leo fully joins Corrin's group during a Hoshidan assassination attempt against Garon.

Revelation


This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


If Corrin refuses to take a side, Leo denounces them as a traitor along with the other Nohrians. He next encounters them in Izumo, where he executes the Nohrian dark mage Zola for his dishonorable tactics in battle. Corrin attempts to explain to him what is happening, but Leo dismisses their story as the work of an overactive imagination. Later, however, he and Xander overhear Garon plotting to destroy both Hoshido and Nohr, making them wonder if Corrin was telling the truth. Ultimately, the two brothers decide to place their faith in Corrin and join him at the Bottomless Canyon alongside their retainers, where they help defeat Iago.

Personality and character


This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


Unlike Xander, Leo excels in magic and wields the sacred tome Brynhildr. He is exceptionally smart and can plan for any situation with ease. Instead of spending time outside, he sits inside to study. Like his siblings, is bitter about the fact he was born to gain his mother favor in King Garon's eyes. His childhood as a pawn for his mother led to him growing a cold exterior, though he does occasionally openly express love for his siblings and retainers.

Even with his cold and capable exterior, he longs for attention from his older siblings, Camilla in particular. He believes that he is too capable, leading to others to dote on Corrin. Despite his jealousy of the attention Corrin receives, he does not resent Corrin for this.

Like Takumi, he feels inferior to his older brother. Xander's skill with the sword led to Leo choosing magic as his specialty, to distance himself from Xander's skills.

In Revelation Leo and Takumi initially get into needless disputes with each other due to their birthplaces. As the two continue to interact with each other, they realize they share quite a few hobbies and interests, and put aside their ill wills and become friends.

He likes tomatoes the most out of the army.

Endings

Sorcerous Prince: Leo
Leo was invaluable during Nohr's era of change. He took the brunt of the people's ill will by helping spread Xander's bold policies. Later generations revered him for his contributions and sacrifices.
