Personality and character
Leon is defined by his close relationship to Valbar, describing him as his sworn brother and saying he will go wherever Valbar goes. In Shadows of Valentia, it is made clear Leon's attachment to Valbar is romantic, with Leon saying that women do not interest him and Valbar is all he needs, even if Valbar is unaware of Leon's love for him.
In the Japanese version of Shadows of Valentia, Leon uses the personal pronoun アタシ atashi, which is often seen as feminine. In the original game, his personal pronoun is おれ ore, which is often seen as masculine.

Ending
Gaiden
As one of the knights of the kingdom, he works towards the restoration of Valentia.
Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
If Valbar survived
Welcomed into the One Kingdom's Brotherhood of Knights, Leon remained at Valbar's side until an injury ended his fighting career. He then took up work as a merchant in the city market, where he lived free, happy, and dauntlessly true to himself to the last.
If Valbar died
Dealt a grievous blow by Valbar's death, Leon disappeared for a time before returning to join the One Kingdom's Brotherhood of Knights. There, he fought with the strength of a hundred men, and later served as an instructor to new recruits, contributing greatly to the order.
