Luis, Leon

レオン・ルイス

Leon holds the title of Garo the Golden Knight in Garo: The Animation. Born as his mother, Anna, a Makai Priestess, was burning at the stake for witchcraft, Leon is the son of German Lewis, the Makai Knight known as Zoro. Only his mother's magic and German's hasty rescue and escape from the kingdom of Valiante saved him. Leon often suffers from nightmares and visions regarding his mother's execution.
